Our family owned and operated specialty store makes every effort to get your order processed and shipped at soon as possible; but because 92% of our offerings require assembly (built after order completion); additional time (usually 2-4 working days) is required after which time your order will ship using shipping method selected at checkout.

Paying for a faster delivery method (e.g. Express mail, Priority mail etc.) for products requiring "assembly" does not speed up assembly (build) time; however, it does speed up delivery time.
Delivery time for in stock products requiring assembly= Assembly time (2-4 working days) + transit time (your shipping method).
