Rush shipment by AIR is not available for the USA or Canada due to the restrictions of shipping chemicals by air. However, it is not needed. Most people find that they are close enough to one of our warehouses that they are in the one day service zone of UPS. You can find out by clicking on your state on the map, then click the   button in the left column above the product pictures.

Air and ocean shipments are available for shipments to other countries outside the USA or Canada.

AIR shipments are expensive because:

  • Air shipping charges are considerably higher than ground.
  • Chemicals shipped by air are classified differently than by ground.
  • Some of the products are classified in such a way as to require special packaging and special paperwork.
  • The special paperwork must be signed by a schooled and certified person.
  • Only one of our warehouses is certified for international air shipments. See below.

Therefore, consider:

  • We probably have a warehouse near you that is within the one day or two day zone quoted by the carrier. Check the "transit time" map link for this warehouse (top left of page after clicking your state) for assistance in deciding what is best for you.
  • You will have drying/curing time between steps. Therefore, you probably have more time than you might think.
  • Although we ship almost all orders the same day received, it cannot be guaranteed that the carrier won't cause delay. Therefore, it is always best to have product in hand before committing to timing of a project.

Please keep in mind that all orders, including rush orders, are almost always processed the same day when received before noon warehouse local time. If received after that time, they are processed the following business day.
