Actuonix Shipping Policies


Items in Stock and Items Built to Order:

Stock levels for specific models are indicated on the product page. In stock items ship within 1-2 days. Items that are not currently in stock can be ordered, but there will be a delay before they ship. This varies based on quantity and whether the unit(s) can be custom built or whether we have to wait for stock. If for some reason there will be a longer delay we will contact you by email. Please keep this in mind when you choose an express shipping option.

Shipping Rates:

Due to the sheer volume of packages we ship both FedEx and UPS give us major discounts on our rates that we pass on to our customers. All of our rates are at our cost, unlike most companies we don't use shipping to generate revenue. Even if your company has their own shipping account with FedEx or UPS, our rates are probably better.

Shipping Information:

Our shipping cutoff times are 1PM PST for both UPS and FedExWe ship Monday - Friday all in-stock orders. Once you enter a complete shipping address, the web store will calculate all the shipping options for your order. UPS and FedEx offer Express 1 or 2 day service from our facility to most destinations in the US and Canada. Ground services currently are provided by UPS only.

If you choose "On your Shipping Account" you MUST provide a valid shipping account number from UPS, FedEx, or DHL in the appropriate box . If you don't, your order will be delayed until we get your shipping account number. Please remember to include the service you wish from your shipping company in the comments box
