You will receive a shipping and handling amount before committing to purchase. We make a best effort to calculate these costs at the time you place your order. While unlikely, in the event of a significant shipping calculation error, a rise in shipping costs from the carrier or certain delivery addresses, we reserve the right to ask for a shipping surcharge. You will of course have the right to cancel your order if this were to occur. We realize this situation would not make our customers happy and will do our best to avoid this as it is our goal to build a lasting positive relationship with all of our customers.

We are able to ship any where in the world. ACE FIRE Preparedness LLC responsibility for delivery ends upon acceptance by carrier companies. If goods are required for export customers may utilize a freight forwarding company or other U.S. address of their choice to take delivery of goods. Any subsequent shipping costs, fees, taxes, export duties, etc. are the responsibility of the customer. Any documentation that may be required for export must be requested in advance of placing the order.

Most deliveries are via FedEx or UPS but may also include the USPS and various freight and common carriers.  ACE FIRE Preparedness LLC reserves the right to change carrier choice at any time, even after an order is placed. If you have a delivery company preference and would like to use your corporate billing account just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate that request. If you would like Signature Required service please call; there will be a small additional fee.

Typical example: Thursday order with 2nd day express shipping will have a scheduled delivery day of Monday.

We do not process or ship orders on Saturday or Sunday therefore Friday afternoon (USA Eastern Time) through Sunday orders will be processed on Monday.
