Product Availability: Domestic Purchasing and Shipping Information

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY - Usually, most Desktop models are processed and shipped within two to three business days of your purchase, via UPS or FedEx Ground insured to US Customers. Because most items are shipped quickly, we do not send Order Confirmations. Your payment receipt is your order confirmation. You will get an email with the tracking number, when your item ships.

Plastic Diecast models, signs, plaques, and other items are shipped via USPS insured to US customers. Please allow 1-4 weeks for T-Shirt deliveries.

We offer over 1000 models, and sometimes the demand for an item exceeds the available supply. If we, or our suppliers, are out of stock on an item and do not expect to ship your item within five business days, we will notify you via email. As we receive very limited stock on some items, keeping your order in will guarantee you a model when stock does arrive.

CURRENT CUSTOMER ORDER STATUS - If you are a current customer, you may inquire about the status of your order by sending us an email here or catch us on our CHAT.
