What does Drop Ship mean?
To expedite the handling of your order, or if we do not have your products in stock, we may ship your order from various warehouses. We have three primary locations. California, Illinois and South Carolina. Specialty products may also ship from Tennessee, Florida, or Texas. You can determine the order submission date by the Drop Ship number.

Due to order volume and holidays, each center may have its own processing time of 1-4 days before your order is shipped.
