OTHER COMMON QUESTIONS:
- Can I track my order? You can check the status and track your order using your account login here.
- Will I receive an email shipping confirmation? When your order is shipped, you'll receive an email with tracking number (if available).
- What Carrier will deliver my package? We may use UPS, FedEx and/or USPS.
- Where will my order ship from? CardsDirect has printing facilities throughout the United States. Your order may be shipped from any (or even more than one if you have multiple items) of these facilities depending on stock availability and production capacity. We do our best to print your order at a facility near you, but this is not always possible.
- Alaska, Hawaii & Puerto Rico: Since these areas cannot be serviced by standard ground services, orders to these areas will automatically be set to the cheapest available Expedited Air option. We apologize but we simply have no way to make exceptions to this.
- Do you ship internationally? We do not ship internationally at this time. We apologize but we simply have no way to make exceptions to this.
