Shipping

When will my order ship?

Our shipping model is easy to understand! Processing time (pulling and packaging your order); plus shipping time equals delivery time. Each order is processed within one-to-two business days. Currently we have a 99% success rate of shipping your order the same day if it is placed before 2pm EST. Orders placed between 2-4pm have a 50% chance of shipping the same day. Our daily UPS pickup is between 4pm and 5:30pm, so orders placed after 4pm EST will usually ship out the next business day. Some exceptions apply such as our gift baskets which are built to order and require an additional day to process..

Do you ship to Post Office Boxes?

Yes, we can ship your order via the USPS and can deliver to PO Boxes. If you select to ship UPS you are required to have a physical address for delivery.

Do you ship to APO/FPO addresses?

Yes. However, we do not guarantee delivery times on these orders.

Do you ship to Canada?

Yes, we now ship to Canada.

Do you ship internationally?

At this time, we do not ship outside the U.S., U.S. territories or Canada.

How is shipping calculated?

Shipping is calculated during checkout and is based on the weight of the items you selected and the shipping destination. USPS is particulary sensitive to weight, light orders of Sponges and Loofah are shipped more cost effectively via USPS, but heavy orders of soap or cosmetic products are better shipped via UPS.

What are your shipping options?

We ship using either UPS or USPS and provide tracking numbers for both. Keep in mind that any shipping option other than regular ground shipping or First Class Mail incurs a premium shipping fee. For light weight packages USPS is the more price concious and faster choice.
