Frequently Asked Questions about AVToyBox.com
I just placed my order. When should I expect it to arrive?
Orders placed by 2PM MST usually ship on the same business day. Orders placed after 2PM MST will ship the following business day. The formula below can be used to calculate the expected time it should take for your order to arrive:
In stock + Shipping Method Timeframe + Holidays/Weekends = Expected Delivery Date
Examples:
- Order placed on a Monday (anytime), with UPS Ground shipping:
In stock + 2-5 business days + possible 2 weekend days = delivery as early as Wednesday that same week, up to Tuesday of the following week depending on location in the US
- Order placed on Thursday (before 2PM MST), with UPS Overnight Air:
In stock + 1 business day + 0 weekend days = delivery date of Friday (next day)
- Order placed on Thursday (before 2PM MST), with UPS 2 Day Air:
In stock + 2 business days + 2 weekend days = delivery date of the following Tuesday
- Order placed on Friday (before 2PM MST), with UPS Overnight Air:
In stock + 1 business day + 2 weekend days = delivery date of the following Monday
- Freight shipping (large or heavy orders) - by appointment (normally delivered within 3-5 business days after your order)

We gladly correct our mistakes!
We all make mistakes - it's part of being human. Due to the large selection of products on our site, occasionally we may make a typographical, image or pricing error which may misrepresent an item. We correct these errors as soon as they are discovered and brought to our attention. However, AVToyBox is not responsible for these errors and has the right to correct any misinformation on this site at any time without obligation.
The receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of an order. The email order confirmation confirms that our system has only received your order but has not yet processed it. A shopper does not become our customer until we collect payment for that order. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors or other typographical/image errors on our website, to limit the order quantity for any item, and to refuse service to any customer for any reason. Verification of information may be required prior to the fulfillment of any order. We appreciate your understanding!
