Timeline Matters

Your chance of successfully changing your order depends heavily on timing:

Within 24 Hours of Ordering

  • Best chance for modifications
  • Order likely still in system before warehouse processing
  • Address changes and cancellations usually possible
  • Contact immediately for best results

1-2 Days After Ordering

  • Moderate chance of changes
  • Order may be in warehouse picking/packing
  • Address changes may still be possible
  • Item changes become more difficult

3+ Days After Ordering

  • Order has likely shipped
  • Changes no longer possible

Equipment orders typically ship within 1-2 weeks, but warehouse processing can be faster.
