Order Processing
Does BodyMedia FIT ship outside of the United States? What about Canada?
BodyMedia FIT currently ships throughout the United States and Canada with the exception of the Province of Quebec. Our technology is also available in the UK, Australia and New Zealand through partnerships with distributors in those countries. We regularly assess regional and global demand and update our policies accordingly. Please check back for changes in BodyMedia FIT availability.
When will my order be shipped?
Your order will be processed and shipped within 2 business days of receipt. Please note that we do not ship on weekends or holidays. If you place an order on a Saturday or Sunday, it will be processed the following business day.
How long will it take my order to arrive?
If you purchase at an online retailer, please refer to their shipping policies. For the bodymedia.com online store, we ship Armbands via UPS who does not deliver on Saturday or Sunday. You can choose Ground, Next Day Air and 2-Day Air.
Note - schedule applies to weeks where there are no holidays.
Can I expedite my order in your online store?
You can choose to expedite your order by choosing Next Day Air and 2nd day Air options. Be aware that since UPS does not deliver on weekends and because it takes a day to process and ship your order, you may not want to pay the extra money for expedited shipping. Refer to the table above for approximate delivery times.
Can I choose a carrier other than UPS for my online order?
We exclusively use UPS for Armbands so that we can track them during shipping. You can select USPS for accessories like straps to reduce your shipping costs. If selecting USPS, you will not be able to track your order.
My order is backordered, how can I check on its status?
We will send you a message when we receive your order and another message when your order is processed and shipped. If your order is backordered, there is currently no way for you to automatically check on your order status. You can open a case with Customer Support, who can check and see if your order is being processed. They cannot, however, give you a precise estimate as to when your item will be back in stock.
If we have a backorder situation that affects a large number of individuals, you will receive regular emails from BodyMedia updating you on the status of our out-of-stock situation.
