Shipping Information
  Our orders are shipped with a USPS delivery confirmation number. This means your tracking information will not be available until your order has been delivered to the USPS. It is not uncommon for packages to show only confirmation of delivery, and not an origin scan. Please be aware that the USPS provides a delivery confirmation service for most destinations, not a tracking service. USPS delivery confirmation services are designed to be a low cost alternative to full tracking and primarily provide delivery information. Confirmation of delivery or attempted delivery is provided. Information is generally available on the evening of the date of delivery or attempted delivery.
