Ensure you have received a shipping confirmation email and locate tracking number.
If tracking number starts 1Z track via www.ups.com
If tracking number starts 9 track via www.usps.com (tracking info may be limited)

My order is listed on UPS.com as "Billing Information Received" what does that mean?
"Billing Information Received" on your tracking indicates that your order has shipped from our warehouse and is in the possession of the carrier. If Billing Information Received is displayed (typically during weekends and holidays) the carrier will process your order on the next business day. We suggest tracking your order the following business day to get detailed information.

Will I be notified when my backordered item will be available or if the expected ship date changes?
If one of our items is on backorder we will notify you via email once it has been on backorder more than 30 days. If the item reaches 60 day period a second email is sent informing you that the order for the item has been canceled.

I'm missing an item from my order. What do I do?
If an item is missing from your order please
Check your invoice to ensure that missing item is not on backorder.
Check your email confirmation for possible multiple tracking numbers.(order may have been sent in multiple packages)

When will my order ship?
Domestic orders placed by 3 PM Pacific Time will be packed and shipped the same day, pending verification of billing information and the shipping method selected.

International orders and out-of-stock items or refrigerated items will be processed as quickly as possible, but cannot be shipped out the same day.

My order needed verification; will it ship today?
If your order is held for verification purposes (most commonly billing or address verification) it will ship as soon as we can resolve the issue. This often involves getting clearance from banks or additional information from you.

Will my international order ship the same day?
In most cases they will unless additional verification is needed. International orders (orders originating from outside the 50 United States) require verification processes that take longer than domestic orders. This processing time varies by country and by product ordered. We ship these orders out as soon as we can, case by case.

My order has a backordered item; will it ship today?
Unfortunately no. Orders that contain an item that is out-of-stock require more time to process. Backordered items will be delayed for as long as it takes for us to get a new shipment of the product.
