  Our choice of free shipping (within USA, including Alaska, Hawaii and APOs) is applied to any orders over $99.00. You may choose one of the upgraded shipping options as well.
  UPS is highly recommended.
  Shipping under $99.00 starts at $7.95. Please enter your address on the shopping cart page to see available options. Optional package insurance is offered by Route.com at checkout for a small fee. You may deselect this if no insurance is desired.
  After your order is placed, you will receive email confirmation, and another email after it has shipped, including a tracking number if applicable. Please remember that Point-to-point tracking is done at the discretion of the carrier.
  Most order ship same day, or next business day. Any product showing IN STOCK is either on our shelves or on a truck en-route to us.
  PLEASE NOTE: Occasionally we update product inventory quantities when a truck is en-route from our supplier. This can delay shipping 2-5 days. If your order is time-sensitive (Christmas gift, Birthday gift etc.) please let us know in the comments box during checkout.
  Long delays can happen with USPS. UPS should be close to the estimated delivery time.
