How Will My Order Ship?

We know that once you have placed an order with us, you want to receive it as quickly as possible, so we use the best delivery companies in North America. When shipping your order, we will use one of four different shipping methods: Ground, 2 Day Air, Overnight or Freight shipping services in the cont. USA. If international shipping, you will need to contact support@abcconf.com. For most items, more than one service will be available for you to choose from. Please note that there may be price differences if you choose to upgrade a shipping service.
 
Most of the time, the products are shipped from our location, but if limited on supply, the product(s) may ship from the manufacture. We will contact you prior to shipping in this case.
 
If you have any questions about shipping after placing an order, or while your order is on its way, you will notice, our emails (confirmation, status, tracking...) keep you up to date every 24-48 hours. You may always go online and access the status, tracking...of your order or past orders.  You can also contact us at 216.759.1459 or support@abcconf.com.

 
Ground Shipping

 

Smaller products will be shipped with regular ground shipping (generally, FedEx, but occasionally UPS). The average transit time is between 1-7 business days (not including pre-ship time) for any destination in the continerntal United States. Delivery times will depend on the local delivery schedule of the carrier, and it may not be possible to make an appointment. Generally, ground delivery is available Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm. A signature is not typically required: if the customer is not at home to accept delivery, the product will be left if it is safe to do so. If a signature is required the product will not be left at the address. Please note that deliveries can not be made to a PO Box.

 

If the shipping address is a business address, delivery will be attempted only during normal business hours Monday to Friday. The item will not be left without a signature on file.

 

Please note that if you purchase a large order, they may be shipped via Freight (on a pallet) instead, at the discretion of the manufacturer. Freight incurs an additional shipping cost (see below).

When Will My Order Arrive?

Each product on our website has a pre-ship processing time, which is the number of business days it will take for your order to be processed and prepared for shipment. Most products are in stock and ship within 24 business hours. 
 
For small parcel shipments: Depending on where you live, after the product ships, you will receive your item between 1 and 6 business days, using ground shipping in the continental United States.
 
If you requested any expedited services like 3-day, 2nd Day or Next Day Air, please note that this will not affect the pre-ship processing time in any way; it will still take a specified number of days to process and prepare your order before it leaves the warehouse.
 
 
For freight – additional services shipments: After your order has been shipped, the item will be delivered in 2 to 5 days. If the item is being delivered to a residential address (see above), an appointment for a delivery time will be made upon the arrival of your order at the local terminal. For deliveries to a commercial address, no appointment will be made. However, if you anticipate that there will be no one to accept the delivery on delivery day, you can contact ABC Conferencing to arrange an appointment (see above).


 
Is Free Shipping Really Free?

We want to offer you the lowest price possible. The price listed on the product information screen of the item you ordered is the price you will pay.
