What is a Manufacturer Direct item?

We’ve introduced Manufacturer Direct, a collection of items that are shipped to you directly from the manufacturer in order to offer you a full selection of handpicked products. These items are conveniently available from our site and ready to ship fast within the continental United States.


How do I apply a promotional code to my order?

On the shopping cart page, there will be a section labeled “Coupon Code”. Enter the promotional coupon code there, and you will see the discount reflected in the total.


What if my order is lost?

If the delivery timeframe has passed and/or the tracking on your Manufacturer Direct order shows "delivered" but you have not received your package, contact our customer care team within 15 business days of the order's original ship date.


Why didn't all my items ship together?

Most Manufacturer Direct orders ship within one or two business day of order processing. In some cases, orders with multiple items are shipped in more than one package. Below is a list of reasons for why items may ship separately:

  • Order contains many items that must be shipped in more than one package.
  • Items on order are shipping from more than one shipping facility.
  • Customized items have a longer lead time and may ship separately.
