How will my order ship?
We ship all US orders out of our Seattle, WA warehouse using FedEx or USPS. Canadian orders ship out of our Kamloops, BC warehouse using best method ground shipping. As soon as your order leaves our location, an email confirmation will be sent to you with a link to your tracking number.
Washington locals:
Within Washington state, paying for 2-day shipping may not be necessary. Ground Shipping typically takes 1-2 days business days, and Fed Ex Ground Economy typically takes 2-4 business days, but neither are guaranteed to arrive that quickly.
