Please be advised all our listings have a 2 day shipping and handling. Most of the times we are able to ship them the next day, but as a norm allow 2 days to see a tracking number in your order. Free shipping is Ground Select Service and NOT expedited shipping. Attention International Buyers with Economy Shipping: After a shipping label has been issued, please allow a few days for the tracking to show in the mail-stream. The courier picks up the bulk of shipments once a week at our store in Florida then transported via ground to the next dispatch center (New Jersey). During that time you will see no activity, your package is in a truck. Once received by the distribution center you'll be able to see/track your package. At arrival to your country it will be handed over to a local courier partner for delivery, who may or may not be suffering challenges of their own (ie: strikes, weather, staffing shortage, etc.)
