The ship completion option is preset on all orders. If your order is shipping within the 50 US states, you can uncheck the "Ship Complete" checkbox and receive partial shipments as items become available. Orders shipping to Canada must ship complete. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

* Holiday cut-off dates are not guaranteed if shipments are delayed due to payment issues, including orders where the billing address information does not match the information on file with your credit card issuer or orders where the shipping address is different than the billing address and the difference cannot be verified with the cardholder. Weather conditions may prevent delivery within stated shipping timeframes.
