The following text is being kept here for reference purposes, and may or may not be applicable at this exact moment.

Turnaround Time

Generally, anything in stock can be shipped right up to the last moment.

• allow 12-24 hours for me to process the order, and 3-5 days for it to get to you.
• I normally ship via USPS First Class for anything under a pound, and Priority for anything over
• I can also do overnight (USPS Express) on request, charging only the actual postage (no extra handling fees).
• To estimate delivery times, go to the USPS Postage Calculator, enter a rough-guess weight (the weight generally does not affect the delivery time much except that items over a pound cannot be shipped via First Class, but must instead use Priority which is usually faster), and use 27705 as the "From ZIP Code". Add an extra day for processing on our side, to be safe.

Expediting Xmas Orders

Please let me know, either in the shipping instructions or in a separate email, if you need your order before December 24th, instead of "on or by" the 24th. Although backordered items are received here in batches timed to reach customers by 12/24, I can expedite individual shipments or items if I know it is necessary.
