Same Day Shipping!
In stock orders will ship the same day ordered. We know you want your stuff as soon as possible, so we will make every effort to ship as soon as possible, which is usually the same day you place your order (when placed by 4PM CST). Because some of our software products require proof of academic status, we can't ship until we receive your verfication. But, because our state of the art verification system attempts to verify your academic status without you doing anything, in most cases we can verify you instantly and get your order out the door! Download software is processed 24/7.
