Shipping policy
Orders
Our in-house lead time is 1-2 business days for most orders, Monday - Friday, not including holidays. Certain items including capital items like exercise equipment and treatment tables may have longer lead times in accordance with the manufacturer. Customers will receive an order confirmation by email after the order is sent to our warehouse for processing. If an item on order is not available, customers will be notified by email at which point you make request a substitution or change to the order. If we do not receive a response within 2 business days, we will ship the order without that item or cancel the order.
The order cut-off time for same day shipping is by, although not guaranteed as our USPS has a varying pickup schedule:
12pm for USPS, Ground Advantage Orders
2pm for UPS Ground and Select Orders
**12pm the day before any holiday for any shipping carrier
Shipping
We ship to anywhere within the United States. Most orders ship from our Redding, California warehouse during regular business days (Monday thru Friday, 8a-2p) unless otherwise notified. Certain items including capital items may ship directly from the manufacturer. Available shipping options are presented at checkout. Transit times are estimates by the shipping provider and are not guarantees of delivery by a specified date. For larger, capital items, we deliver by freight.
Typically, orders are delivered within 1-7 business days depending on the shipping provider and method chosen at checkout, delivery location and stock availability. Again, delivery estimates shown at checkout are estimates, not a guarantee. We have no control over transit times once an order leaves our warehouse. Larger equipment orders may vary from one to several weeks.
Orthopedic Outfitters offers FREE shipping on orders over $99.00 to US residents. Please note this offer does not extend to the shipment of heavy and large goods (i.e. gloves, hot/cold packs, foam rollers) and liquids, capital items such as exercise equipment, treatment tables, and other items which must be delivered by freight.

Damage during shipping
Inspect all merchandise upon delivery. When signing for the delivery, make written note of any visible external damage to the packaging. Open and inspect your package immediately to determine if there is any concealed damage. Report any damage to the freight carrier and file a claim if necessary.
Expedited Shipping
We do not offer expedited shipping as a standard option, as carrier transit times from our location cannot be guaranteed—especially during peak holiday seasons.
If you need your order shipped via an expedited service, we are happy to review available options for you. Please email us at weborders@orthout.com with:
- The item(s) and SKU(s) you need
- Your full shipping address
- Your contact information
We will provide the available expedited options and pricing.
Important:
Customers are responsible for all expedited shipping fees. Once a package has left our warehouse, transit time and any delivery delays are solely the responsibility of the shipping carrier. If your order is placed on a Friday after 2pm, regardless of the shipping method chosen, it will not ship until the following business day, or start of the next week.
