FAQ
Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive an automated message with your order's tracking information. Please note that due to the high volume of packages shipped daily, it may take 24-48 hours (72hrs for items shipped via UPS Mail Innovations) for the carriers to update their system. Average times below for shipping information on your package(s) to update:
A. UPS-MID - tracking information will appear within 48-72 hours on the carrier's website
B. UPS-SurePost - tracking information will appear within 48 hours on the carrier's website
C. UPS Ground - tracking information will appear within 24-48 hours on the carrier's website
*All shipments are scheduled to be delivered within 5-7 business days. Shipment movement information is captured each time a tracking label is scanned in the UPS system, from the time the label is created , to the time the shipment is delivered. Rest assured that your shipment is still moving even though no new tracking scans may appear for a while. Due to this reason, we will not be able to issue a resolution until the minimum of 7 business days has passed.

-In some cases, packages may be held at a UPS Access-Point due to the following reasons.
A. Item is undeliverable to the physical address.
B. UPS has attempted to deliver the item once and did not leave the package since they were unable to determine a “safe location” for the item to be left behind.
UPS Access-Point packages will need to be picked up within 5 days along with valid ID to release the package. If packages are not picked up on the 5th day, UPS will ship the item back to the sender. If you have not received your package by the estimated delivery time, or have received notification that your item has been held at the UPS Access-Point, please contact UPS to arrange pick up.
