Local Order Pickup from our Warehouse
Local customers may pick up orders at our warehouse in Cayce, SC. Please put your order in online 24hrs in advance so that we can have it ready as we are not a store, but a warehouse.

All orders are shipped via UPS. There are no shipments on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. Local customers may save shipping costs by picking up orders. Order pickup requires 3-4 hours lead time during normal business hours. All efforts are made to ship orders the same day they are received; however, this is not always possible due to order volume, so please allow at least one business day to process your order. Weekends and holidays are not considered business days. Do not count these days towards your total ship time. Point of departure is South Carolina. If you live on the West Coast, your ship time is 5 business days in transit after the day the order ships, which does not include processing time in our warehouse. If you need your shipment by a certain date, please allow sufficient time for your order to reach you. Overnight, 2 Day and 3 Day deliveries are available, should you need expedited service. We do not ship UPS Collect, UPS Third Party, or to UPS Account #'s other than our own. Please understand all ordering and shipping procedures before you place your order. You will receive an email from Quantum View with your shipment tracking number as soon as your package leaves us. This email will give you an estimated delivery date.

These must be available in order for us to file a claim with UPS. If these are disposed of prior to settlement of the claim with UPS, we will be unable to reship the replacement product.
