Typical handling time for in-stock orders before they ship.
In-stock orders
About 1 week
Most in-stock orders arrive within about a week, depending on where they ship from and to.
Custom work
About 2–3 weeks
Entirely custom-built cases and cases with custom foam inserts typically take about 2–3 weeks to ship.
Delivery area
U.S. & Canada
We don’t deliver to PO Boxes, APO addresses, or destinations outside the U.S. and Canada.
Timing depends on product availability when you order and on the ship-from and ship-to locations.
Need your cases by a specific date?
Tell us your deadline before you order, or as soon as possible after. We’ll review stock, any production time for custom work, and the shipping services available, and do everything we can to get your order there on time. This matters most for training classes, deployments, events, and school-year rollouts.
Typical handling time is 1–2 business days. For in-stock products, shipping and transit together generally take about one week, though timing varies by location.
Entirely custom-built cases and cases that need custom foam inserts typically take about 2–3 weeks to ship.
Shipping methods and carriers
Available services may include:
UPS Ground and FedEx Ground
Overnight, two-day, and three-day expedited services, when available
LTL and freight carriers for oversized or high-volume orders
Shipping costs
Shipping cost depends on the size of the case and where the order is going.
Some cases are too large for standard ground service, and large-volume orders may need freight shipping instead of parcel service.
Tracking
Once your order ships, the carrier sends tracking information. When available, we also include the tracking number on your invoice or sales receipt for your records.
Out-of-stock items
If an item you ordered is out of stock, we’ll let you know and work with you to speed up shipment when possible.
Where we deliver
We deliver within the United States and Canada. We don’t deliver to:
PO Boxes
APO addresses
International destinations outside Canada
Shipping to Canada: the shipping quote at checkout includes duties and taxes.
Receiving a freight delivery
Large cases and bulk orders often arrive by LTL freight on a pallet instead of by parcel carrier. A little planning makes delivery go smoothly.
Tell us when you order if the delivery address has no loading dock, so we can arrange the right delivery service.
Give us the name and phone number of the person receiving the shipment, since freight carriers often call ahead.
Let us know about delivery hours, gate access, or receiving rules at schools, bases, and government buildings.
When your order arrives
Count the pieces and check the outside of every box or pallet before signing.
Write any visible damage or missing pieces on the delivery receipt before you sign it.
All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by Specialty Cases and become effective only when Specialty Cases confirms them. Specialty Cases reserves the right to reject any order for any reason.
