How we ship (return to top)
We ship via UPS for most US domestic orders and USPS for lightweight domestic orders and international orders.


When do we ship out your order? (return to top)
Once your order is placed, it is sent to our warehouse to be processed and usually takes 1-2 business days (Monday to Friday only) to be processed.  Weekends and holidays do not count as processing days.

This 1-2 business day turnaround time is used for us to verify your order, pick your items, and prepare your order for shipment.  If an item is out of stock you will be notified immediately.

When your order has been processed it is sent to our shipping department. Once there, it will be shipped via the method you selected at checkout. After the package is shipped you will receive an email with your UPS or Express Mail tracking number*

Out of Stock Items (return to top)
We stock all of our items, but occasionally run out of certain sizes. When we run out of a size, it is placed on order and is expected to be back in stock shortly. We will notify you immediately when an ordered item is out of stock.

Clearance Items (return to top)
When an item is on clearance, the life cycle of the product has ended. We have reduced the price so we can make way for new items. Unfortunately when it comes to clearance items we do run out of sizes and style quickly.
