10. Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about shipping. If you don't find what you're looking for, please contact our customer support team.

How do I know which shipping method to choose?

Select standard shipping for regular orders when time isn't critical. Choose expedited shipping when you need items faster, and next-day delivery for the quickest possible delivery when available for your location.

Can I change my shipping address after placing my order?

Address changes may be possible if requested within 2 hours of placing your order and before the order enters processing. Please contact customer service immediately if you need to change your shipping address.

What happens if I'm not home when my package is delivered?

Delivery procedures vary by carrier. Most carriers will leave the package in a safe place or with a neighbor. For packages requiring signature, carriers typically leave a delivery attempt notice with instructions for rescheduling or pickup.

Can I request signature confirmation for my delivery?

Yes, signature confirmation can be added to most orders for an additional fee. This option can be selected during checkout. All orders over $200 automatically include signature confirmation.

Do you ship to APO/FPO addresses?

Yes, we ship to APO/FPO addresses using USPS. Please note that delivery to these addresses may take longer than standard domestic shipping, typically 2-3 weeks.
