Order Processing and Shipping Policies
Once you place your order you will receive a confirmation email. Please save this email as your receipt; it will contain all of the important information about your order should you need to contact us.
Most of the items we carry are in-stock in our warehouse and ready to ship quickly. Most orders are processed the same business day. Orders received after 2:30pm Eastern Standard Time may be processed on the following business day. (Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays).
Possible exceptions include items on back-order (see below), orders requiring custom screen printing, and special order items. Special order items typically ship directly from the manufacturer. All special order items will be described accordingly. Please allow up to 7-10 days for special order processing.
Items on Back Order
Occasionally, an item that we carry may be on a temporary back-order due to high demand or a delay with the manufacturer. We understand this can be an inconvenience. If any of the items you have purchased are on back-order, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of any delays and discuss the options available to you based on the specifics of your order and the urgency of your need.
Address Verification / Address Changes
Please review your order details and confirm that all of your shipping information is correct before placing your order. If your address is found to be incorrect by the carrier once your order is in transit it may result in delays and/or you may incur additional fees from the shipping carrier.
We recommend verifying the accuracy of your delivery address(es) prior to finalizing order placement.
If you have already placed your order and need to make a change, please contact us as quickly as possible. We will attempt to update your order before it is in transit, though we cannot guarantee successful changes once your order has been placed.
Shipping Options
Whether you’re shipping to a major metropolitan area or a remote, rural destination, we want to be sure that the industrial safety supplies you need are available when and where you need them. In addition to offering free shipping on qualifying orders over $99* (see below for details), we partner with both UPS® and The United States Postal Service® (USPS®) to provide each customer with as many shipping service options as possible.
For your reference, we have included descriptions and estimated delivery times for each available shipping service at the bottom of this page. Please note, these are the official descriptions and estimated delivery times as stated by UPS® and The United States Postal Service® (USPS®).
The availability of shipping services may vary depending on your delivery destination and the nature of the products in your order.
Free Shipping For Orders Over $99
Most orders totaling over $99.00 USD qualify for free shipping.
Some restrictions apply:
Some products require special handling and therefore do not qualify for free shipping. Currently, restricted items include, but may not be limited to some Sqwincher electrolyte replacement products and inverted spray paints. Restrictions and qualifying products are subject to change. Any items that do not qualify to receive free shipping will be noted accordingly within the product’s description on our website.
Free shipping is available for delivery destinations in the lower 48 / contiguous United States only. We regret that we are unable to offer free shipping on any orders being delivered to Alaska or Hawaii or any international destinations.
Free shipping only applies to qualifying orders being dispatched in a single shipment to a single delivery address. If your order requires split shipments, shipping charges will apply for any additional shipments or destinations.
Note: In most cases free shipping orders will be sent via ground shipping. Transit times for free shipping orders will vary based on delivery location, but may take longer than other shipping options. If you need your order urgently, you may wish to decline the free shipping offer and select a faster delivery service.
