1. Do I need to be home to sign for my order?

2. How long does it take to process and ship my order?

• Orders are processed and shipped Monday through Friday only.

• Please allow 1–2 business days for processing. During high-volume periods, such as holidays, processing may take up to 5 business days.

• Saver shipping (where available) may take 5–7 days to receive local carrier tracking, with delivery typically 5–7 business days after tracking is assigned.

• Ground shipping times are estimates only and not guaranteed by the carriers.

• We are unable to guarantee specific delivery dates.

3. What happens if delivery is unsuccessful?

• Carriers will attempt delivery three times before returning the order.

• Additional delivery attempts may require an extra delivery fee.

• Orders returned due to incorrect addresses, failed delivery attempts, or recipient refusal will be refunded minus a 20% restocking fee and all shipping charges.
