Shipping Policy

Freight charges for FedEx and UPS can be chosen in the cart. You must enter your zip code or be logged in, to see your options for expediting delivery and the cost for each method.

We can not provide shipping charges for oversized items, items drop shipped from the manufacturer, and items shipping outside the U.S. Final shipping charges will be added at the time the order ships. Orders that include drop-shipped items (i.e. chemicals) may be charged separate shipping and handling fees.

If a shipping method is not specified, we will determine the most expedient and efficient means of shipment. Appropriate charges (such as freight and insurance), provided by the various carriers used by

Cole-Parmer , will be added to your invoice. These charges are determined (at time of shipment) by product plus packaging weight, overall package dimensions, as well as any other special shipping requirements, such as HAZMAT materials. Your final shipping costs may differ.

Orders that include drop-shipped items (i.e. chemicals) may be charged separate shipping and handling fees.

Cole-Parmer will not be liable for any claim, loss, or damage caused in whole or in part due to delay in or failure to make delivery when such delay or failure is directly or indirectly caused by act of God; strike or other labor difficulty; transportation problems; inability or delay in obtaining necessary labor, material or products from usual sources; material shortages; accident; act of any civil or military authority; act of war; or act of purchaser; or by the occurrence of any other contingency beyond Cole-Parmer’s reasonable control. In such event, the date of delivery or time for completion shall be postponed by such length of time as may be reasonably necessary to compensate for the delay.
