We use UPS service as our primary shipping resource, which provides reliable service and tracking numbers for each package. If you'd like to ship to a PO Box, please use the SurePost option; for all other services, you must have a physical street address. Orders placed online that include an email address will receive a tracking number and order confirmation upon shipment by email. For orders placed by phone, tracking numbers are available upon request and are provided by email only.

Eco-friendly Shipping

In an effort to be environmentally responsible, your orders are shipped using recycled cardboard boxes, biodegradable packing peanuts and reusable packing materials whenever possible. We encourage our customers to reuse and recycle these materials as best they can.
