Most of our orders ship from the NE coast of the US, which puts us a day away from half the population in the US. That location also speeds up shipping to Europe. Orders in Asia are going to take a little more time.
We offer a free 14 day money back return policy on all orders no questions asked. The customer pays the cost for return shipping. You can cancel an order if we haven't yet shipped the order.
