Listed below are a number of links that help explain the ordering process:

Order Status |  |
The Order Status option on our web site is the quickest method for you to get information on the status of your order. Click on the Order Status button in the right hand corner. The system will prompt you for your order number and the zip code of the address where you are having the product shipped.
Under the item heading labeled status, the shipment status of that particular item will reflect one of the following:
Under the heading labeled Shipment Method, the shipment method that you selected is displayed once the item ships. For example, Ground, 2nd Day, Priority, Saturday, etc. Prior to shipment, it shows “Not Available”, because we don’t have the specific carrier information yet.
Under the heading labeled shipment, the number of separate shipments on your order is listed. For example, if you just see 0101, then only one shipment was created. If, however, you see a 0101, 0102, etc. then you should expect to receive multiple shipments.
Under the heading Tracking Number(s), the tracking number(s) issued by carrier are displayed here as a link. Simply click on the link and you will have access to the carrier’s web site for a current status of your shipment. Multiple tracking numbers may be displayed either if your multiple boxes were included in your shipment and/or your order has multiple shipments. Please note that some carriers do not offer shipment tracking and some carriers such as UPS do not update their systems immediately upon shipment.
For Borderfree Shipment tracking please go to the preceding link.
