When Will My Order Ship?: Any orders that would normally ship out on any of the days above will now ship the following business day.

Why the closings?: Our team is our biggest asset at PVC Fittings Online, and we think they deserve some time off to spend with friends and family for the holidays. We love PVC a lot, but we love our families more!

Can I still shop online?: Yes! Our online store will be up and available for shopping 24/7 throughout the holidays. Other than the days listed above, our offices and warehouse will be open and fully operational Monday - Friday.

 

Shipments can take between 1 to 8 days for delivery from time of purchase depending on shipping destination and inventory distribution point. At times, this time frame may be expanded due to circumstances beyond our control.

When determining your shipping timeline the day the order ships is NOT included in transit time, Saturday and Sunday are NOT included in transit time. If an order is placed after 2pm eastern time it will not ship until the next business day. An order placed on Tuesday before 2pm eastern time will likely ship Tuesday and Wednesday would be the first day of transit time. An order placed on Tuesday after 2pm eastern time will ship Wednesday afternoon, and Thursday would be the frist day of transit, Friday would be the second day, and Monday would be the third day.

Shipping Methods and Example of Delivery Time

 

INTERNATIONAL - Offered for international shipments only, this is an inexpensive option for shipments to Canada and other locations outside of the US. All international shipments should expect a longer delivery window. These orders ship via UPS to an export terminal, then to customs, then the shipment continues to the destination country and then to the customer. We are now accepting international orders with our new program. If you have any questions or issues please let us know.

Tracking Your Order

Once your order has shipped you will receive an email with the tracking number(s) associated with your order. Please check your spam and junk folders for order emails, as some email platforms may miscategorize them. We do our best to provide you with up to date tracking information as we ourselves get access to it. Because we work with outside shipping companies to ensure all shipments go out as timely and cost-effectively as possible, it isn't always possible to provide tracking information immediately upon shipment. If the expected shipping period has expired and you have not received your shipment or any tracking information, please call our service team at 866-777-7990 for assistance. Our number one goal is your satisfaction. See the links below to enter your tracking number(s) for UPS and USPS shipments. For your reference, any tracking number that begins with a "1Z" is a UPS shipment.
