What does “Get it as soon as” mean?
“Get it as soon as” is an estimated delivery date based on your shipping method, order-processing time, and the carrier’s expected transit time. Delivery dates are not guaranteed, and delays may occur once your order is with the shipping carrier. If you need your order by a specific date, we recommend selecting an expedited shipping method at checkout when available.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed by 9:59 AM EST, Monday–Friday are typically processed the same business day, excluding holidays. Orders placed after 10:00 AM EST, on weekends, or on holidays will begin processing on the next business day.
Most orders ship within 1–4 business days, though processing may take longer during holidays and other peak periods. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a shipping-confirmation email with tracking information.
Why hasn’t my tracking information updated?
Once your order has shipped, tracking updates are provided by the shipping carrier. It is common for tracking to go several days without an update while your package is in transit.
Our Customer Care team has access to the same tracking information shown by the carrier and cannot provide additional tracking details.
Can I change my shipping address after I place my order?
Because we work to process and ship orders quickly, we are unable to guarantee shipping-address changes after an order is placed. If your order has not yet been processed, Customer Care may be able to assist. Once your order has shipped, the shipping address cannot be changed.
How will you notify me if there is a problem with my order?
All order communication is sent by email, so it is important that the email address provided with your order is accurate and current.
Do you ship to PO Boxes or military addresses?
No. We currently do not ship to PO Boxes or APO and FPO military addresses.
Do you ship outside the lower 48 United States?
No. Novelties Express currently ships only to the lower 48 states and the District of Columbia. We do not ship to United States territories or possessions or to international destinations.
