Frequently asked questions
Straightforward terms
- 01.
How long will my order take?
Handling takes 1–2 business days and carrier transit is normally 3–7 business days, so most orders land in 4–9 business days. Tracking is emailed as soon as the label scans.
- 02.
How much is shipping?
Orders of $39.00 or more ship free inside the United States. Below that, a flat $6.99 covers packing and carrier handling, whatever the pack count.

Do you ship outside the United States?
Not at present. We ship to US addresses only.
