Shipping & Delivery

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Your entire order will ship together as soon as all items are ready for shipping. However, if you prefer to have the available items shipped first please let us know. Please consider placing a separate order for your back-ordered items if you prefer not to wait on them for the rest of your items to ship. Payment for all items is collected when your order is placed.
