Shipping & returns

SHIPPING

SHIPPING for IN STOCK items: Our inventory will show you how many of which items we have in stock ready to ship. Please note that we have a brick and mortar store and on occasion, an item you order may be purchased by a walk in client before the warehouse gets to pull your order. If this happens, we will be in touch with you right away. We place orders every day and should be able to get more for you!

Most orders placed Monday-Friday on or before 11 AM ship the same business day when selecting UPS services. When selecting USPS, please allow for the next business day. During our busy season in October, orders may take up to 48 hours to process. Meaning if you select Next Day Air shipping, please allow that extra time for guaranteed delivery. Please also note that for Next Day, and Day and 3 Day Select, that UPS does not count weekends and holidays. If you must have delivery on or before a certain date, please contact us at [email protected] or call 631-928-5005 to see if it is possible before proceeding.

If at all possible, please place your orders online during our busy season. You will be handled faster and be the next in the queue. For phone orders, you will be the last to be processed.

SHIPPING for OUT OF STOCK items: If you order items that we do not have in stock, we will order the item or items in for you and ship your order complete in one package as soon as your entire order is ready. In most cases products will arrive to us within 1-5 Business Days. In many cases 2-3 days. Sometimes a product may be unavailable. If this is the case, we will be in touch with you within 1-2 business days.
