The most cost effective shipping method withing the USA is USPS Priority Mail. This is quoted by the US Postal Service as 3 business days, which is from the day your order leaves our warehouse (example: We ship on Monday and it is delivered to the USA East Coast on Thursday). This is the option offered for your order.
For faster delivery, USPS Express Mail delivery to USA addresses is 2 business days from the day your order leaves our warehouse (example: We ship on Monday and it is delivered to the USA East Coast on Wednesday). PLEASE NOTE THAT USPS EXPRESS MAIL IS NOT GUARANTEED OVERNIGHT DELIVERY.
For fastest delivery, FEDEX Overnight is guaranteed next day, for Monday thru Thursday shipments, to USA addresses (example: We ship on Monday and it is delivered to the USA East Coast to a non-PO Box address on Tuesday by 3pm.) Note: FEDEX cannot be delivered to a PO Box. FEDEX Overnight shipped on Fridays is delivered on the following Monday (in this case your more cost effective shipping method would be USPS Express Mail). FEDEX Overnight shipped on Saturdays, Sundays, or Mondays would be delivered on the following Tuesday. We do not automatically offer FEDEX as an option on your order. If you need this option for your order, please contact us directly.
