When will my order ship?

Typically, your order will be shipped within 1-2 business days.   Factors that may affect this timing are:

1. Product protection - We may hold your order until the following Monday to prevent perishable product from remaining in route over a weekend.

2. Christmas Season (Mid October - December) - Though we make as many preparations as possible during the season, your order may take a day or two longer to arrive during this time of year.

3. Summer Months (Mid June - September) if your order is placed on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday and you are a far away shipping destination we may hold your order until the following Monday so that your product stays safe from the heat. 

4. Product Availability - If more than 20% of your order is out of stock, we may choose to hold the order until the required products arrive. If your order will be held for more than 7 days, we will contact you for possible substitutions.
