Brother knows that reliable and fast shipping is important to you. Most orders are shipped out on the same business day that the order is placed and confirmed.

We are sorry that you were not able to complete your order. The selection on Brother-usa.com is live and reflects what is in stock at that moment. Placing an item in your shopping cart does not guarantee your right to purchase that item. Until you have completed the checkout process, another customer may purchase the item even if it is in your cart. If that happens, you will receive a message on the shopping cart page informing you that the item is no longer available and that you should remove it from your cart in order to proceed.

There are 2 easy ways to check the status of your order:

Please note: After your order ships, tracking information may take 48 hours to appear. If a tracking number is not shown next to each of your items ordered, your order is still pending.

We make every effort to process your order the minute it is placed, therefore, we cannot guarantee that changes or cancellations can be made once your order is submitted. If an update is needed, please contact Customer Service at 1-877-552-6255 Monday - Friday 9 am - 6pm Eastern Standard Time.
