The date noted on our website is the date it will be shipped, not the date of arrival. Please allow 1-5 business days from the ship date for your order to arrive. Allow extra time if ordered during a busy holiday shipping season. Some carriers do deliver after dark as late as 8 or 9 pm in some areas. Since it is becoming more uncommon for delivery drivers to knock or ring the doorbell, please check outside before turning in for the night during the week of expected delivery.
