Everything we sell is produced in house, on demand to ensure quality and production flexibility. Production time for most orders is 2-3 business days. We post current production time at the top of each page on our website.
Production and shipping times are sometimes longer during the holidays and other traditionally busy times (I.e., leading up to All-American Week). But the majority of our orders arrive within 7 business days.
SHIPPING TIMES ARE IN ADDITION TO PRODUCTION TIME. Selecting faster shipping will move your order through the delivery process faster, but it does not expedite the production process. While we offer several shipping options (standard USPS, Priority Mail, UPS Ground, etc.) once orders enter the mail stream via USPS/UPS, their transit time is out of our control. We will absolutely work with you to help track down a lost or long-delayed package and may, at our discretion, replace or refund a lost order.
If it's been more than 5 business days since you received your tracking information and have not yet received your package, feel free to contact us using the link in the order confirmation email. Please review the tracking information prior to contacting us as that is the same information we'll be reviewing- we don't have access to any deeper information than our customers do when it comes to tracking packages.
If you have any questions, you can always use our contact form or email us directly at sales@airborneapparelcompany.com
