Multiple Item Orders
Items from the same order may ship separately if they are coming from different warehouse locations. You will receive separate tracking numbers for each shipment.

Undeliverable Packages
If a package is returned to us as undeliverable, we will contact you to arrange reshipment. Additional shipping fees may apply for reshipment.

Carrier Information
We partner with major carriers including USPS, UPS, and FedEx. The carrier used depends on your location, package size, and shipping method selected.

Rural Delivery
Delivery to rural areas may take additional time. Some remote locations may have limited carrier service or require pickup from a local carrier facility.

Weather Delays
During winter months, severe weather may cause delivery delays. We cannot control weather-related disruptions but will work with carriers to minimize impacts.
