How long after I order my contact lenses can I expect to receive my order?

Because of the volume we ship we are able to stock 90% of all popular contact lens prescriptions. If your lenses fall into these common parameters we will process your order the day we receive it and ship it the following day. If your order is an uncommon prescription it may take slightly longer to process, specifically Toric lenses often have to be special ordered, this can take up to additional 5 business days to process, so please be patient. Orders received between 6:00 PM (CST) on Friday and 12:00 PM (CST) Sunday will be processed Monday.

Remember, all orders go through a process of Prescription Verification. This process can take up to one full business day in addition to the times listed below.
