  • Q. When will my UPS order be shipped?
  • A. Orders placed with SKS customarily ship within 2-3 business days, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, regardless of the shipment method chosen.

    Choosing Expedited Services (UPS Next Day, UPS Second Day, or UPS 3rd Day Select) may reduce the amount of time your order spends in transit after the shipments have been completed.

    On the checkout page, for each item, an estimated date of shipment will be provided when possible, and from which distribution center they will be shipping from to provide an estimated delivery date.

    While selecting a delivery method, there is an additional choice to either send items separately as soon as they are available or to group into as few shipments as possible. The estimated shipping dates will adjust accordingly.

    Note: Due to worldwide supply chain interruptions related to COVID-19, unexpected shipment and delivery delays may happen.

  • Q. How often do items get back ordered, and how will I know if an item I purchase is put on back order?
  • A. Backorders are rare, but if an item is on backorder, our website will generally show that the item is out of stock and an estimated arrival date.

    Note that if you order several items and only one item is on backorder, a partial shipment will often be sent as a courtesy if you are located in the US or Canada.

You will not see any additional transactions for Paypal orders once the backordered item ships out to you.
