Looking for your order?
Once your order ships, you’ll receive an email with tracking information. Tracking updates come directly from the carrier and may take several hours to appear after the label is created.
- If tracking says “label created,” the package may still be waiting for the carrier scan.
- If tracking says “in transit,” the carrier has the package and is moving it through the network.
- If tracking has not updated for several days, contact us and we can help review the shipment.

Why Delivery Dates Sometimes Change
Although carriers provide estimated delivery dates, they are estimates and can occasionally change while your package is in transit.
Severe weather may temporarily affect transportation routes and carrier operations.
Major holidays often create significantly higher shipping volumes which may increase transit times.
Mechanical issues, routing changes, staffing shortages, or transportation disruptions can occasionally delay shipments.
Incorrect or incomplete addresses may delay delivery or require additional carrier processing.

Can I change my shipping address?
If your order has not shipped, contact us immediately. Once a package has been accepted by the carrier, address changes may not be possible.
