Why does it take so long?

We are a family owned business run by a working firefighter and a nurse. We complete fabrication and process orders on our "off" days. We appreciate your patience and understanding that during fire season or other high volumes of mandatory overtime that orders will take the full stated turnaround times. Please contact us at J5FireLidsCustomerService@gmail.com to request a refund on any NON CUSTOM orders if these stated wait times do not meet your needs. We apologize we cannot offer any refunds on Custom FireLids that have gone into production.

 

How will I know if my order ships? What if I received a shipping notification but the tracking status hasn't updated yet?

You will receive tracking info to your email address or phone number as provided at checkout. Please know that when you receive tracking info, it means that we have printed your shipping label. This is not the time it is dropped off at the Post Office. There may be a lag of 2-3 days from when your label is printed and when it is dropped off at the post office. There are also times where USPS does not scan packages at drop off. We are committed to orders being delivered within the standard order turnaround times listed above.
