Details on Shipping Times
Use the drop down menu on each product page to check availability. The menus are kept current (within 5 minutes anyway). Here is a sample drop down menu and below you’ll find an explanation about the different availability estimates you’ll see:
Same Day! means the item is in stock and will be shipped the very same day from our warehouse if ordered by 2pm Central time, Monday thru Friday (orders received after 2pm will be shipped the next working day).
1-2 Days means the item will be shipped from our supplier’s warehouse directly to your door. Here is how “drop ship” orders work:
- After receipt of your order, we will confirm availability and place the “drop-ship” order with our supplier
- We’ll email you a copy of your receipt with tracking information within 1 or 2 working days
- In the case of an availability issue with any drop-ship item, we’ll contact you and work something out
3-5 Days means we don’t have the item in stock, but it is an item we regularly receive from our supplier (and it’s an item that cannot be drop shipped). Here’s how we handle your order:
- After receipt of your order, we’ll confirm the 3-5 day availability estimate with our supplier and we will ship from our warehouse just as soon as it is received
- In the case of an availability issue with any out-of-stock item, we’ll contact you so hopefully something acceptable can be worked out
Messages you’ll see for items that are not currently available:
Messages like Early December indicates the lead time on items that are known to be on back order.
Extended Backorder means that the product is out of stock and the supplier has not given an expected availability date.
Discontinued means that the product is out of stock no more are being made and no more will be available.
Please take advantage of our automated notification system! You won’t be able to add out of stock items to the shopping cart, but you’ll be able to enter your email address and we’ll notify you when the item is available.
