Item Availability

If an item is available for immediate shipping, it is clearly noted on the Product Detail page as "In Stock." Most items are In Stock and ready to ship. For more information, please read the details below.

You will not be billed for items purchased with a credit card until the items have shipped. You may be billed for items purchased with a debit or bank card immediately upon order confirmation.

In-Stock Items

Most orders for In-Stock items begin shipping as soon as your online purchase is completed. Items are shipped once they are located in stock, your payment is approved, and the receiving address is verified.

Please note: expected shipment times specify when an item is expected to leave our warehouse, not when the item will arrive at its final shipping destination. After your order leaves our warehouse, delivery times vary according to the shipping method you select during checkout and the location of your shipping address.

For example, if you order an In-Stock item on Monday that leaves the warehouse in 1-2 full business days, it will leave the warehouse by end-of-day Wednesday. After your order leaves our warehouse, delivery times vary according to the shipping method you select during checkout and the location of your shipping address. Please note that business days are Monday-Friday, excluding federal holidays within the United States.

Temporarily Out-of-Stock Items

Temporarily out of stock items are items that are not yet in stock, but available for advanced purchase on our site. A temporarily out of stock item is shipped directly to you once it is in stock. You will be notified of the status of your item via e-mail. You will not be charged for any item until it is shipped to you. Expected shipment time (for example, "AVAILABILITY: "Temporarily out of stock. Will leave warehouse in 3-4 weeks.") is indicated on the product detail page.

Delivery of Your Items

  • Delivery time of purchased items depends on your location and designated shipping method.
  • Items are only shipped during regular business days, which are Monday-Friday, excluding federal holidays within the United States. If you receive an email notifying you that your items have been shipped during a weekend or federal holiday, they will not actually be shipped until the following business day. Don't forget that it is never too late to send an electronic Online Gift Certificate.
  • Make note of the Availability of your items.

    This tells you when we expect to ship your item from our warehouse. Once your items have left our warehouse, the shipping method you select during Checkout will determine when your order will arrive. (For example, if your items take 1-2 business days to leave our warehouse and you select "Overnight" shipping, it may actually take 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.)
