Shipping Information

We make every effort to ship your order out within 24 hours of receipt for items in stock. All of our orders ship via UPS as we have found this to be the safest and most reliable method for our company. However, it is necessary for us to use U.S. mail for Post Office box numbers, APO/FPO destinations and some non-mainland orders. If you would like to choose a different method of shipment you can contact our Customer Service team and they will offer you an alternative quote.

Shipping Services

Orders are shipped UPS ground and require a street address. Delivery of in-stock items normally takes 7-10 business days. Your order may be shipped in multiple boxes and arrive separately. Posters are always shipped separately in a durable cardboard tube.

Extra postage required

Additional Delivery charges may apply to items that are too large, bulky, or heavy to be accommodated by our standing shipping charges. The additional charges will be automatically added into your shipping costs in the shopping cart stage. The product description will indicate the additional charges that will be added to your shipping costs. You can also find these products listed below for reference purposes.

Shipments to these destinations will be sent via U.S. mail for an additional $5.00 per order on top of regular U.S. shipping prices. Allow one extra week for delivery.
