A. Although we don’t guarantee next day delivery, most orders do reach customers the next business day.
Q. I haven’t gotten my order and when I track it I can’t tell where it is?
A. In addition to a tracking search, a tracer needs to be started to determine where the order is and takes 8-10 business days for the carrier to resolve.

The information is for the commercial account use only.
