WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY PACKAGE?
All packages will be shipped via UPS Ground Service or USPS Priority Mail, depending on the weight of the package. We ship Monday through Friday, so all order placed between Friday afternoon and Sunday night will be shipped on Monday or Tuesday. During the week, orders are usually shipped within 24 hours. If your order is shipped via UPS and you have provided us with a correct email address, you will receive a tracking number from UPS the day your order is shipped. If your package was shipped via USPS, you will receive a delivery confirmation number, stating when your order was shipped and delivered. You should expect your package anywhere from 3 - 10 business days after placing your order. REMEMBER: the further away you live from Pennsylvania, the longer your package will take to arrive!!

HANDLING CHARGE
Some of our larger require an additional shipping fee. For these items, the cost of the extra shipping stated in the description of the item and the extra charge is added to your cart at checkout. These items are counted towards your cart total and the additional shipping is added. For example, if you qualify for “free shipping”, the handling charge is still added.
