Production times are listed on product pages under the heading “Availability.” Once your contact lenses are in stock, they should be shipped within 1–2 business days and will arrive within the time estimate provided by your chosen shipping method.
7. When your order ships, you will be sent an email confirmation that includes a tracking number and instructions for how to track your order online.
