FAQ

When will my order ship?

During the winter we keep all the powder hounds locked up so we can get your gear to you as quick as possible. We try our best to ship all orders received by 11am PST on the same day that they are received. Orders received after 11am PST will ship on the following day. Some orders may take an extra 1-2 days to ship due to abnormal volume, but this is the exception and not the norm.
