FREIGHT POLICY
International Chem-Crete can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there may be restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations due to customs restrictions or local law. International Chem-Crete will notify Customer of any problems prior to shipping. When Customer places an order, International Chem-Crete will estimate shipping and delivery dates for the order based on the availability of items and the shipping options chosen.

FREIGHT RATES. Please note that the shipping rates for materials that International Chem-Crete sells are weight-based. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound. Shipping costs for orders will depend upon the method and option Customer (buyer) chooses. Due to the rising costs of fuel, many shippers are adding fuel surcharges to their base rates, and International Chem-Crete has no control over the fees charged by freight carriers. All shipments will be sent selecting the best method to serve the delivery needs of the Customer and keep costs as low as possible.

Shipping date estimates will appear in the order form. After placing order, Customer will see both shipping and delivery date estimates in the order confirmation e-mail and in the order summary in Your Account.
