How long does domestic shipping take?
We do our best to process all orders within 2 business days after purchase, and we ship from California. The time it takes us to process and ship your order is not included in the USPS/UPS estimate for delivery times.
Once packages leave our warehouse, USPS and UPS provide estimates for delivery speed. Please note that these are only estimates and neither USPS nor UPS provide shipping speed guarantees on any shipping method other than overnight delivery. Most Domestic U.S. orders typically then take 3-4 business days to arrive once packages leave our warehouse. This range may vary due to the impact of COVID-19 restrictions, severe weather patterns, and peak holiday season demand.
Please note that a business day does not include Saturdays, Sundays, statutory holidays, or any holidays observed by Postal Agencies.
If your package is in transit and you have tracking information, then you have the same information we do on your package! If your tracking shows delivered and you have not yet received your item, we recommend you first contact your local post office or local UPS delivery driver to inquire about its whereabouts.

Lost or Missing Packages
If your tracking number indicates that your package has been delivered, but you don’t have it yet, it could be because USPS delivered to a neighbor’s mailbox, or possibly because USPS erroneously scanned your package as “delivered” once it reached the post office closest to your home. In cases like this, it typically takes a few extra business days for your package to get into your mailbox. If you do not see it within 2-3 days after getting the “package delivered” notification on your tracking number, please shoot us an email - we would be happy to help you!
If more than 10 days have passed since your package was marked "delivered", we unfortunately will have no recourse with USPS. If your tracking shows delivered but nothing has arrived, please notify us on the next business day!
