UPS Package Tracking
Using your UPS shipment tracking number, you can check the status of your package by visiting the UPS web site or by calling UPS directly at 1-800-PICK-UPS (742-5877)
FedEx Package Tracking
Using your FedEx tracking number, you can check the status of your package by visiting the FedEx web site or by calling FedEx directly at 1.800.Go.FedEx (463-3339).
USPS Package Delivery Confirmation
Using your USPS shipment tracking number, you can confirm package delivery by visiting the USPS web site. Please note that USPS does not track the progress of your shipment, just delivery confirmation. USPS tracking often consists of only two statuses: "The USPS was electronically notified by the shipper to expect your package for mailing" and "Your package was delivered." Most areas will receive the package well within the delivery timeframe quoted, and we hope the lack of detailed tracking does not pose an inconvenience.
Please note that some circumstances may affect delivery of your order, such as weather conditions, whether your shipping address is a house or an apartment and whether deliveries can be left outdoors. FedEx, UPS or USPS policies for your area may dictate that your package be held at a local office until you pick it up in person. Call your local FedEx, UPS or post office directly for the delivery policy for your area.
