Our goal is to ship it within 1 to 2 business days of receiving it. For faster delivery, select a faster shipping method. Delivery times stated below do not include time to prepare and ship your order. 

Please ensure that all shipping information is current and correct. A package that is returned to us due to incorrect information will incur a second shipping charge to be sent again.
