Shipping Carriers
Standard delivery is via UPS Ground. If you would like to use a carrier other than UPS, please indicate which carrier you prefer on your order and specify the shipment method you wish to use (options shown below). Prepaid freight charges will be added to the invoices. Our available carriers are FedEx, UPS, and DHL.

Shipment Methods
Ground delivery time is based on how far away your location is in relation to Bettendorf, IA. Faster deliveries are available with the following options:

• Next Day Air • Two Day Air • Three Day Air • Early AM • Saturday

Shipping Orders
As a general rule of thumb; all received orders that are ground or next day and come in before our shipping deadline of 7:15 p.m. CST, will be shipped on the same business day. Any orders received after the shipping deadline will be shipped out the following business day. Any new customers wishing to open a credit account with us will need to allow up to two working business days for credit verification. Existing EZSeries Touchpanel customers can obtain open credit the same day.

In order to take advantage of our same-day shipping guarantee, your order must be paid by credit card or you must have an open credit account with our company that is current and in good standing. If your payment by credit card is declined, your open credit account with our company is past due, or your order amount exceeds your credit limit, there is the possibility that your order may be delayed.

Insurance
Since it is our policy to ship all of our goods FOB Bettendorf, IA, the risk of loss transfers to you once we deliver the goods to the carrier of your choice. To ensure against potential loss or unusual damage to your order, particularly for larger products such as EZMarquees, you have the option to purchase insurance at your expense. If you are interested in purchasing insurance for your shipment, please ask our customer service representative to calculate the cost for you when you are finished placing your order. The cost for the insurance will be added on to your invoice if you decide to purchase it.
