Turnaround and Shipping
Need help? Call us!
1-800-622-2280
Turnaround times and shipping schedules are based on business days, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Cut-off times are based on two zones - Zone 1 and Zone 2.
- Zone 1 - Western U.S. - based on Pacific Time
- Zone 2 - Eastern U.S. - based on Eastern Time
Turnaround Time Examples:
Example 1:
- If it is Monday before the 11 am cutoff time, a transfer with a 2 day turnaround time would ship Wednesday.
Example 2:
- If it is Monday after the 11 am cutoff time, it is now on Tuesday's schedule. So a transfer with a 2 day turnaround time would ship Thursday.
Same-day shipping orders placed after the cut-off times are scheduled for shipping on the next business day.
