Shipping: how, when and where
In most cases, ToyHive.com uses and prefers US Parcel Post and US Priority Mail. We also use UPS for heavier and more expensive items. Priority Mail typically takes 2-5 business days transit time anywhere in the US, which means you'll get your items soon. If you'd like, we can send you a tracking number so that you can track your shipment. You can then enter the tracking number on the appropriate Web site to monitor your shipment.
Once your payment has cleared, your items will be shipped within 48 hours.

US Postal Delivery (USPS) confirmation service is slightly different from the UPS tracking numbers. The US Postal Service only shows confirmation that the item was initially sent out ("accepted" or "scheduled to be shipped" depending on how it was scanned) and also confirms when it has arrived successfully ("delivered") to your address. Your package information may not show up on the US Postal website until 24-36 hours after shipment.
