Payment must be received within 7 days of your order being placed or your order will be cancelled. Orders are mailed in the order that payments are received, so a delay in payment will cause a delay in shipment.

Shipping Policies
We have a TWO WEEK turn around time plus 2-3 days for shipping (6-10 days shipping for Canadian orders) If you need items more quickly, please see our RUSH ORDER POLICIES.

Orders will be reviewed before your credit card is charged to ensure you receive best shipping price possible. Many orders can be fit into a flat rate box for $9.95 or $13.95 (US). If this is possible with your order, you will see an adjustment to your total on your credit card statement. If paying by Paypal, you will see the adjustment in your invoice. If paying by money order, please wait for confirmation of total from us before sending payment.
