We ship product daily using most of the major shipping names and forms. Product can be shipped air or ground by the normal carriers like UPS, Fed Ex and DHL and the freight carriers for the larger and heavier orders. Our preferred air and ground shipper is UPS, but we do use Fed Ex and DHL daily. We use many different freight carriers depending on the service offered and cost. The Fed Ex office is about a mile away and we do use them for late shipping air orders. We are open late to ship 90% of our orders on the same day they were ordered. Most printers go to the refurbishing process after the order is made. Depending on the size and complexity of the particular printer you ordered, it can take from a few hours to a couple of days to prepare the printer or printers. Freight items usually have a cuttoff at around 3:00 p.m central time. If you have a special shipping need please contact us, we will do all possible to assist. Costs to ship goods are inclusive of all associated costs. Boxing, packing, labor, oversize box fees, heavyweight fees, fuel surcharges and the sometimes biyearly price increases from the shipping carriers. Freight shipments can involve many cost factors like your zip code, if the freight is going residential or business, if you will require a tailgate, if you have a 4 foot high loading dock, and if you would like indoor delivery. Please remember these are semi truck drivers not delivery people. The customer is responsible for ALL shipping charges.
