Ground Transit Times. Below is a map with estimated Ground Transit Times for continental U.S. Shipments via UPS.  USPS ships under a similar timetable.  These times are based on the time the order is shipped, not to be confused with the day the order is placed.  Shipping via USPS to APO/FPO addresses can take up to 8 weeks for delivery.

Orders will be shipped within 24 to 48 hours, pending credit card approval and subject to availability.  Orders received on weekends or holidays will be shipped on the next business day.  Most orders arrive within 3-10 business days.
