My product hasn't arrived! Help!
Last Updated 10/23/2009
In the event that your order hasn't arrived, please check the order confirmation email with your shipping details. We ship orders every hour possible. This may mean you receive a shipping notification later in the day, but your item has yet to be shipped by the carrier. Please keep in mind there is no shipping on Sundays for any carrier we use. We ship 99% of orders instock before 2 PM the same day. Parts and accessories may take 48-72 hours to ship. Most orders do get shipped out the same day provided the item is in stock and ready to ship. Orders that are not shipped the same day, or do not reach their destination on time is usually caused by:
  • Address errors
  • Temporarily out of stock (usually due to demand)
  • Shipping delays caused by weather
  • Shipping delays caused by carrier
  • Payment errors (paying with PayPal, but using an email address different from your order)
  • A very slight chance of human error (and we mean very slight)

If you have not received your item, please let us know! Often, people choose the wrong shipping options (for instance shipping with USPS instead of FedEx). We ship all of our orders using USPS and FedEx. After an order is shipped, you will have received tracking information. If you didn't receive a shipping confirmation with a tracking number for your purchase, call us immediately to resolve the issue! We can be reached Monday through Friday, 8AM - 5PM Pacific Time. We can also be reached on Saturdays from 10AM to 3PM. Sunday customer service availablity is limited, so please check the website live chat support for details.
