Same Day Shipping: This is available on most orders placed Monday through Friday by 7:30 PM CT and Saturday by 3:30 PM CT (in stock items only, some destinations excluded).
Priority Shipping Options: These orders receive special handling to increase the likelihood of same day shipping. An OWC team member will contact you to resolve issues that may otherwise delay shipping such as address verification or payment authorization.

Special Shipping Considerations
Shipping Delays Due to Payment Issues: To avoid unnecessary delay in shipping, please provide accurate billing, ship to, and phone/email contact information.

We are not able to ship orders without an approved payment option.

In compliance with Visa/MC/AMEX/Discover processing regulations, we have authentication and verification processes in place to protect credit card and debit card holders. Automatic verification options that occur at the time of your check out may include AVS billing address verification and CVC/CVVC card ID verification.
