SHIPPING
When will my order ship?
We do our best to get orders out as soon as possible, and most orders ship within three business days. Once your order has shipped, you’ll receive an email with a tracking number.
When will I receive my order?
Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee a delivery date or provide any delivery estimates once your order has left our workshop. However, you can check the status of your package using the provided tracking number. All projected delivery dates are provided directly by the shipping carrier and are only estimates.

If your order has not shipped yet, we should be able to change your shipping address. Reach out to [email protected] and we can update this information for you.
My order has been marked as shipped, but my tracking number doesn't show any activity. Why is that?
It can sometimes take up to 24 hours for tracking information to update. Your package may also be ready to go, but not yet picked up by our mail carrier. Keep checking your tracking link for the latest updates.
My order never arrived, arrived broken, or was not in the condition listed on the website. What do I do?
