How much will I end up paying for shipping?

Shipping and handling fees are calculated based on UPS shipping fees. Our minimum shipping and handling fee is $10.

We ship either UPS Ground or Priority mail depending on the merchandise. We also have UPS 3 day, 2nd day and next day shipments available. There are extra fees for over-sized items.

What happens after I place an order?

After you place your order you will receive an email confirmation. Your credit card will be verified and then your merchandise will be shipped.

If your item is not in stock, a customer service representative will call or email you promptly. If you place your order with the intention of mailing in a check or money order, then a representative will hold your order until the check arrives.

What do I do if I don't receive an order confirmation via email?

Please allow 1 business day for your email confirmation to arrive. If you're feeling especially desperate and impatient, then call 800-288-0640 and a representative will be able to give you a quick update.

If you don't receive your order after 1 business day, then please call or you can just resubmit your order indicating in the notes that this order is being "resubmitted" from a previous day.

You may attempt to cancel your order by filling out our Cancellation Form. Please do not call to cancel your orders, because we need a form submission. If your order has yet to be processed, then we will be able to cancel your order without incurring fees or charges.

You will be responsible for shipping and a restocking fee. 2) Accept the package and then ship it back to us w/ an RMA number.

You will need to fill out our RMA Form and request a Return Number. After our customer service gives you a return number, write it on the outside of the original shipping box, with our shipping address clearly indicated and then use a carrier like UPS to send it. You will be responsible for tracking and insuring your package.

If the package is lost, it will be your responsibility. You will then need to send in a claim with your carrier.

How soon will my order arrive?

Packages normally arrive in 3 to 10 working days. We have warehouses on the West and East Coast. So depending on where you live and which warehouse your item is shipped out of, it may take up to 2 weeks.

If your package does not arrive within 2 weeks, email us so that we can trace it. Your item may be lost, and we will make arrangements to have another one shipped out immediately.
