Order Processing/Verification Procedures

All orders are processed upon receipt. All items that are in stock normally ship before 3 p.m. the same business day from when the order has been processed. Most products are on hand for immediate rush delivery. Customers placing overnight and rush delivery orders should contact our sales department in order to confirm that we are able to meet your time constraints (800-628-0997).

For new customers, due to the verification process, we are required to ship to the address where you receive your monthly credit card statements until or unless we have a positive order history with you. If the address you wish your order to be shipped differs from your billing address (the address to which your monthly credit card statements are sent), please use the toll free number on the front or back of you card to contact your credit card company and create an "alternate shipping address" - or list it through your paypal account, which is simply a note on your account authorizing purchases that are delivered to a destination other than your billing address. Failure to do so may delay the processing of your order.
