Tracking My Order

Once your order ships, we will send you a confirmation email with tracking information.

Please be aware that if your order contains more than one item you may receive more than one tracking as products may ship from different locations depending on the item ordered.

All shipments come equipped with forwarding capabilities which means customers can edit their shipping address while a shipment is in transit by contacting a USPS Post Office and requesting 'Mail Forwarding' to get your package re-routed. Please be aware it can take up to an additional 2 weeks to arrive once a shipment has been re-routed.
