Delivery
Orders containing both pre-orders and in-stock merchandise will be broken into separate shipping groups. Each group will be shipped as soon as the merchandise becomes available. Handling charges will apply to each shipping group independently.

In an effort to ship pre-orders as quickly as possible, sometimes we use external resources to “drop ship” merchandise to you directly from the source. This eliminates the time it takes to ship product to our warehouse before shipping it to you. Due to the tight time constraints, some orders will not make it into our drop ship process. Those orders are shipped directly from our warehouse, usually on the following business day.

Some of the order types that will typically miss our drop ship process are:

• Pre-orders received by us too close to the release date. Cut-off dates are normally three or four days in advance of the ship date.
• Postal orders like, P.O. Box, APO/FPO and Value Shipping.
• Pre-orders that fail our credit authorization process.
