Dear Customer – BioQuip is a small company. We try to keep adequate stock of items you choose to order. However, many products manufactured at our facility need to be produced or may be delayed from suppliers. Please place orders as early as possible before needed for your trip, lab or class. If you need expedited shipping or want a partial shipment of items in stock, please advise in the Notes section on the web order form. In general, orders arrive in 7 to 10 business days.
