Shipping is Fast and Free in USA, for other locations please ask for pricing.

Typically items will be shipped out within one day of payment. I checked 3 days handling time because on occasion we may be out of town for a day or two. Also please note that handling time is not the same as arrival time. We will ordinarily ship USPS First-Class Parcel which is described by USPS as typically 2-3 day delivery time but it's not guaranteed. We have found this to be fairly accurate and quite often it shows up the next day. We reserve the right to use other shipping methods or other carriers if it's more appropriate.
