Other Shipping Related Information: If your order does not qualify for free shipping under one of the scenarios explained above, you can usually expect your standard shipping charge to range from $5 - $9 for small orders. Shipping costs go up if you purchase heavy items or request expedited shipping, such as FedEx Overnight service. Standard shipping generally takes anywhere from 1 - 10 business days, depending on the retailer. Each retailer lists its typical shipping costs and delivery time. You can find Shipping Information for each store when you click on 'Help' or 'Customer Service' on their web site. The links for 'Help' and 'Customer Service' are usually found along the top or bottom of the store web page.

When ordering online, you will usually get a message that says something similar too, 'Your item will ship in 1-2 days'. This is the amount of time it will take to prepare your order for shipment. Thus, you must add this time on to the number of shipping days when trying to estimate a delivery date. If you order early in the business day, most stores will get your shipment out the door by the end of that day. The stores mention 1 - 2 days on their web sites in case you order at night or on the weekends.

Most stores offer a link called 'Order Status' or 'Track My Order'. You can track the progress of your order and the estimated delivery date using this feature. Most retailers will also send you emails confirming your order and then a notice of when your order was shipped.
