We recommend closing any extra tabs or browsers with an open cart page before moving forward with the checkout process.
Company
We are solely an online company so we do not have any store locations. All orders are made directly on our website and will be shipped from one of our warehouses or manufacturer's locations. Our warehouses are distribution centers and are not designed for customer pick up.
We receive many requests for donations to benefit organizations throughout the country. While they are all worthwhile causes and we appreciate the request to support, we are limited in the amount of giving we are able to provide. There are local organizations and charities we support each year in the areas surrounding our corporate and warehouse locations. Regretfully, we are unable to grant requests from our customers.
To become a vendor on our site, visit our Vendor Application page. Simply fill out the form on the bottom of the page as completely as possible. If approved, we will get back to you within two weeks to let you know. If you do not hear back, please feel free to re-apply again in six months.

When split, the full amount of the shipping costs will be charged in the first shipment. If you want part of your order sent with expedited shipping and the other part sent using standard ground shipping, please place two separate orders.
