International Shipping

Before placing your order, you should consider submitting the shipping address of a freight forwarder of your choosing. First, contact the freight forwarder and ask if they can ship to your location. They will be able to give you the best idea of your shipping costs. Then give notification that you will be ordering from Allen Precision Equipment and shipping to their location.

Items shipped outside of the USA are non-returnable and non-refundable under any circumstance.
