Shipping & Delivery
Shipping & delivery time
  We strive to ship your order within 24 hours (Mon-Fri) after the order has been placed, many times the same business day. TheSkateAuthority.com ships using UPS and FedEx for the majority of our orders. If the order is placed on the weekend or a major holiday it will usually be shipped the next business day.

Once you place your order we will send you information via e-mail on how to track your order status. Once your order has shipped we will send your tracking information via email. We encourage you to track your package on our website. Please contact us if you have any questions on the status of your order.

International Orders: We will use the fastest and most reliable shipping method possible.

Delivery Signatures: We do not require an adult signature for deliveries, however, if you prefer for us to require a signature please note that on your order or contact us and let us know. The ultimate decision on whether or not to leave your package without a signature is that of the delivery person. If you would rather have the delivery person leave your order on your door step it is best to leave a note on your door asking the driver to leave your package with "No Signature Required".
