An Important Note About Shipping
Many domestic customers have written regarding the speed of media mail shipments (or lack thereof), and buggy/tracking issues with the US Mail service. International First Class parcels have also been reported as slow to arrive.
These issues are beyond our control, but not yours! As such, we strongly encourage UPS/courier shipping, or at the very least, Priority Mail shipping of your orders.
