We reserve the right to use a different shipping carrier (using a comparable service) than what was selected at checkout. Orders will be shipped using our preferred provider and we are unable to accommodate shipping orders on a customer's personal shipping account.

We will post tracking numbers to your order at the time of shipment or as soon as they are available.
Address Changes
Unfortunately, once an order is placed we cannot update addresses for security reasons.

Timing of Your Shipment
You are responsible for choosing the appropriate shipping method in determining the timing of your delivery. For guaranteed delivery by a specific date, you may need to choose an expedited shipping method. If you have any questions about the timing of your shipment, please contact us prior to placing your order. Some products are shipped directly from the manufacturer in order to save time and/or distance.
