5. I placed an order today. How long before I receive my merchandise?


Provided there aren't any problems with the order, most orders ship out within 2-3 business days after you've placed the order. Click here to view the UPS Ground Shipping Map from Houston, TX

Please do not confuse Priority Handling with the Shipping Method. The shipping method determines how long UPS will take to delivery your package starting the day after the order is filled by us. Priority Handling indicates you want us to fill your order and ship it the same day if ordered before 2:00 PM or the next day if ordered after 2:00 PM.
Scenerio 1: You DO choose Next Day Shipping, but you DO NOT choose Priority Handling. Your order placed today will NOT ship today - it will ship on the next business day or possibly the second business day, depending on how many orders are ahead of yours. The order will ship Next Day Air and will arrive to you 2-3 days after you placed the order. In other words, if you placed your order on Monday - your order will be delivered to you on Wednesday or Thursday.

Senerio 2: You DO choose Priority Handling and your order is placed online before 2:00 PM Central Standard Time and you choose Next Day Air. Your merchandise will arrive 1 business day after you placed the order. In other words, if you placed the order on Monday at 1:45PM, then your package will be delivered to you on Tuesday.

Scenerio 3: You live in California and you place you order on Monday at 1:55PM CST. You DO choose Priority Handling, but you leave the Shipping Method as UPS Ground. Your order will be delivered to you on Friday because UPS Ground from Houston, TX to most of CA. is 4 days. See the UPS Ground shipping map link below.
