The speed of your exchange depends on how fast you drop your package in the mail. Your exchange order will begin processing as soon as the provided return label has been scanned by USPS and is marked in-transit. If you need your new item right away, please go ahead and order it on the site and we will give you a full return credit when we receive your exchanged item back. If that is the way you want to go, just let us know by emailing support@kennyflowers.com!
