12. How long will it take for my order to arrive?For orders shipped within the USA, we use United States Postal Service First-Class or Priority Mail, depending on the weight of the package. Standard delivery times vary, depending on distance, but generally we have found that most customers receive their orders in about 5 to 7 business days.For foreign orders, we use either USPS First-Class International or Priority Mail International, once again depending on the weight of the package. According to the US Post Office, Priority Mail International is supposed to take 6 - 10 business days to most destinations. The only time estimate that the US Post Office will give for First-Class International is "varies by destination," but we have found that it typically takes less than 14 days to arrive. Please keep in mind that depending on where you live (large city, out in the country, etc...) it may take some extra time for your package to arrive.
