Special note on quoted shipping time: The shipping method you choose takes effect AFTER the "Availability" period listed next to each item. For example, if the item's availability shows "Usually leaves our Warehouse in 1-2 business days" and you choose "Next Day Air", your order will ship via Next Day Air after the availability period, in this example, 1-2 business days.
