Shipping
All equipment is reconditioned to order. Please note that lead time for shipment is typically 2-6 weeks, depending on our order backlog and the piece of equipment ordered. Shipment is scheduled upon completion of the refurb process. (link here to refurb page) We ship and support our equipment world-wide, and would be happy to include an estimate of the freight cost in your quote. Buyers can also make their own shipping arrangements if they prefer.
International Shipments
International shipments can be sent via ocean or air freight. Equipment must be crated for air freight. For ocean shipments, equipment can be palletized or crated, depending on whether it is will be a full or “less than” container shipment. For LCL shipments, equipment is crated. If the equipment will fill a full container, it can be palletized instead. Crating or palletizing cost will be specified on your quote.
Crating Process:
- Equipment is shrink-wrapped in a light plastic to keep it clean and dust-free.
- Next a layer of waterproof ocean wrap is applied around the equipment to prevent moisture from getting inside the equipment (ocean shipments only).
- Equipment is placed inside a custom-built crate made of specially treated wood.
- Foam is then sprayed around the equipment to prevent movement.
- Finally, the crate is closed and ready for shipment.

Palletizing Process:
- Equipment is shrink-wrapped in a layer of light plastic to keep it clean and dust-free.
- Next a layer of waterproof vinyl is applied around the equipment to prevent moisture
from getting into the equipment.
- The equipment is secured to a pallet.
- Finally, the palletized machines are then secured inside a container.

Domestic Shipments
Domestic shipments are sent by common carrier or by electronic equipment padded moving vans – see your quote for details. Equipment that is shipped via common carrier is palletized or crated, per the processes listed above, depending on the piece of equipment and distance that it has to travel. For shipment via electronic moving van, the equipment is wrapped and the machines are shipped on the wheels. The machines are strapped to an inside wall of the truck to ensure a safe journey.
