  • Regular orders

    Most will ship same day if placed before 12pm CST, however we reserve a 1-3 business day processing time based on order volume.

    • USPS Priority is not considered “express” or “expedited” and will not be treated as such.
    • We work hard to get your stock orders out the same day whenever possible.

Express orders

    • We have a 12pm CST cutoff for express shipments. If your order is placed after 12pm, it will ship express the next business day.
    • Please be aware FedEx Express operates exclusively Monday-Friday.

  • Cold Weather Shipping – Applies to FEDEX ONLY.

    • We strive to get all orders out Mon-Wed in order for them to deliver to you before the weekend. USPS & Speedee Delivery Services have heated warehouses so if your order ships via these methods, cold weather shipping moratoriums do not apply to you. 
    • (<32 degreesºF LOCAL WAREHOUSE IN WI) conditions can delay your order. Since many of our products are water-based, we cannot ship over weekends where they might freeze.
      • ORDERS SHIPPED DURING THESE CONDITIONS MUST REACH THEIR DESTINATIONS BEFORE THE WEEKEND. IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, WE WILL HOLD YOUR ORDER UNLESS YOU EXPLICITLY RELEASE YOUR ORDER AND RESPONSIBILITY THEREOF.
    • We take these precautions to ensure your satisfaction. Please adjust accordingly or contact us if you’re concerned about your order’s deliverability and/or need to adjust your scheduled ship date.

  • Ship method adjustments

    • If you order cannot be delivered by your chosen delivery method, your shipper may change without notice. Refunds/shipping adjustments will be made accordingly and you will be contacted if any monetary adjustments occur. We do our best to ensure your order is arrives in excellent condition, however some shippers (USPS, FedEx & Speedee Delivery Service are our methods) are not appropriate for some products.
