SHIPPING
We will ship to your PayPal confirmed address. Shipping notification and tracking number will be provided through eBay when the item is shipped. If you ordered several items, there will only be one tracking number. Sometimes shipping companies take an extra-long time to deliver packages. If we provided you a tracking number, do not worry, your item is on the way! Continue to use your tracking number to track your item with your carrier. If anything seems to be amiss, send us a message. Please do not leave us negative feedback for a shipping company's error or delay.
Most items are shipped via UPS or United States Postal Service (USPS). USPS takes 24 hours to update tracking numbers after the item has shipped. If your tracking number is not listed on USPS's website, check back the next day. USPS does not operate on Sundays or holidays. Sometimes a tracking number is not showing that the item is moving; this is usually because the carriers are not scanning it along the way, no big deal.
