Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - "Policies and Procedures"
What are the steps involved in the processing and shipping of an order?
Orders can take between 1-3 business days (excludes weekends and holidays) to process. Processing an order involves picking, packing, and getting the order ready for shipment. Once the order is picked up by the courier, it is considered 'shipped'. Once an order is shipped, it can take an additional 1-9 business days (excludes weekends and holidays) for delivery.
