Please see our International Orders page for orders shipping outside the US.

We understand that when you make an order, you want your gear as quickly as possible and we will do our best to make that happen! Most of the items we sell will ship quickly and be at your door fast. We operate our distribution center, in California. Additionally, we work closely with our Suppliers in order to have the product shipped directly to you from their warehouse if that means you will get the product faster.

Items will have availability status shown once on the product page. Most products will be marked "In Stock ". These products will ship within 5 Business days or the next business day. The earlier in the day the order is placed, the better the chance it will ship that day.

While we will do our best to ship from the distribution center closest to you, naturally not all items will always be in stock in every location at all times!  In some cases we will split the order and ship each package out to you individually.  We utilize our best judgment in an attempt to get the products to you as quickly as possible.

Some items will be marked "Available 4-5 business days lead time prior to shipment". These items cannot ship same day and require lead time prior to shipment.  If you select an expedited shipping method, please note that this will not reduce the lead time before the order is shipped!

A shipping confirmation email including carrier specific tracking information will typically be sent within 24 hours of an item shipping.  For example, if you place an order Monday night and it ships out Tuesday morning, you will receive your tracking information either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.

Most orders will be shipped China Post,Epacket however we do utilize USPS, FedEx, and OnTrac as well.

We take great care packaging every item to ensure safe quality shipping. Most shipments are sent out within 1 business day after payment is confirmed or cleared, unless stated otherwise inside the listing.
