Tough call... I have a show submitted on the 3rd that still shows "Received." I'm hoping it'll ship today, and it takes 2 days to ship here. Hopefully HO is catching up with all the orders, and yours will ship in a day or two. You should probably be within a 3 day shipping zone, so if it ships by Wednesday, you should get it by Tuesday.

I am in Illinois... Thanks for your help!KristiIt's hard to give an exact time frame since it depends on a few factors such as the shipping method chosen and the processing time of the company. However, most companies aim to ship out orders within 1-2 business days and standard shipping can take anywhere from 3-7 business days. If you are concerned about receiving your items in time for your show, you may want to consider upgrading to expedited shipping or contacting the company directly to see if they can expedite your order.
