• If you ordered online using your Cheap Joe's account and not as a guest, simply log in to your account to track your order. Additionally, an automated email with the tracking number was sent to the email listed on your order, even if you checked out as a guest. Remember to check junkmail. If you ordered by mail or over the phone, please contact us for tracking information.
• Orders are processed in our warehouse on business days only - Monday through Friday. Please allow 1-5 business days to process your order before shipping. Shipping times vary by rate. The number of business days it will take your order to arrive are shown next to each rate at checkout. Free shipping can take up to 6-9 business days to arrive after your order leaves our warehouse.
• If there were any out-of-stock (backordered) items on your order, they will be shipped all together as soon as they all come back in stock.

• Make sure the item isn't on sale*, that the coupon is entered with no spaces, is within the valid dates, hasn't already been used by you, and that you have reached the dollar amount required to unlock the offer. Check other exclusions specific to the coupon to see if those apply.
• *If an item is already on sale or marked 'Best Price', it's not eligible for further discounts. 'Best Price' indicates that the manufacturer has set a minimum price for an item which we are required by contract not to discount further, as are all other art supply retailers. Learn more and see which brands do not allow further discounts.
