First Out Rescue Equipment Shipping Policy
First Out Rescue Equipment strives to maintain a large inventory to ensure quick delivery; however, you can expect additional delivery time when/if merchandise ships directly from the manufacturer or requires personalization. One other delivery exception is if a product is on backorder from the manufacturer. We will do our best to quickly notify you of any shipping delays.
Ground Shipping - First Out Rescue Equipment wants to ensure that your products arrive on time and in good shape. To that end we offer shipping with trusted carries such as UPS, Fed Ex and USPS for most orders or packages. When using these carries we require a physical street address, not a PO Box. Once your package is has been shipped you will receive an email with the appropriate tracking information.
US Postal Service (USPS) Shipping - When possible and practical, smaller packages may be sent via US Mail (USPS). Most USPS packages are sent using a tracking or delivery confirmation method.
Express Shipping - If you need your package sooner than our standard delivery (usually 5-7 business days); you can choose Next Day, or 2 Day Service from UPS or Fed Ex. Orders for in-stock items with Express Shipping are typically shipped the same day as long as the order is placed by 3pm (EST) Monday through Friday. You can choose your shipping method during checkout.
Please note that Express Shipping durations do not include the pickup date. For example, if you place an order for an in-stock item on Thursday by 3pm and request 2 Day shipping, you should expect your item on Monday the 2nd business day after you placed the order. Although we have limited office hours on Saturday, packages are not picked up by carriers until the following business day.
Next Day Saturday Delivery - If you just can't wait Saturday delivery is sometimes an option and will incur an additional cost. Please specify in the "Comments" section of the checkout page that you need this service and call to confirm that this delivery service is available in your area.
