Delivery Guidelines

There are several options available to ensure your order is fulfilled in a timely manner. Some items are delivered to you directly from your local store using Local Delivery. While others items may come from one of our stores using National Delivery. The amount of time your order will be in transit varies according to item location, size, weight, and shipping/delivery type selected during checkout. Please note that we only ship within the continental United States and do not ship or offer National Delivery (defined below) to Puerto Rico or Hawaii. See Return, Cancellation and Exchange Policy for additional information relating to shipping and delivery fees.

Delivery

Delivery on in-stock items may be available as early as Same Day. Same Day availability is limited to certain areas and is only an option when purchased prior to 12pm local time and when space is available on the local store’s delivery truck. Items requiring licensed installation are not available for Same Day service. If your item is available for Same Day or Next Day delivery, the options will appear in the Delivery Options section of the checkout process. Same Day and Next Day Delivery will result in an additional fee that will be shown during the checkout process.
