Cold Item Shipping Details

Time in Transit

The UPS Time in Transit map below is accurate as of October 2022 for “UPS Ground” shipments. Agtech's central warehouse is located in Kansas, therefore, customers in yellow highlighted areas on the map can expect to receive their UPS Ground shipments the next business day. No minimum order required.

UPS Ground, Next Day Air & 2nd Day Air delivery are generally available anywhere in the United States.

If your domestic U.S. destination order contains items which should be kept cold, or contains items which should not be allowed to freeze, Agtech recommends that the package arrive within two days. Based on your location from Agtech's warehouse in Kansas, economical UPS Ground service will deliver the package to you within 2 days while locations farther away may require 2nd Day Air service.

If your order is shipping direct from Agtech to a destination outside the U.S. and the order contains items which should be kept cold, or contains items which should not be allowed to freeze, Agtech will pack your order with additional “blue” ice inside an insulated foam box.

We ship your refrigerated and frozen products with ice packs. When your shipment arrives, the ice packs will be melted and may even be warm. However, unless subjected to extreme (greater than 98F / 37C) heat for several hours, the products will be fine and should be refrigerated immediately upon receipt. Please request overnight shipping for frozen liquids (C22 or ABT-050 Trypsin)

Please understand that Agtech is not responsible or liable for loss or inconvenience incurred due to delayed or non-delivery of your package. Delivery completion is the carrier’s responsibility. Charges for UPS Ground, Next Day Air, or 2nd Day Air deliveries that are delayed due to inclement weather or other “acts-of-God” are not refundable per UPS policy.

Therefore, for deliveries to U.S. destinations, considering (a) the day that your order will leave Agtech and (b) your distance from Agtech, it is your responsibility to request UPS Ground or 2nd Day Air delivery service as appropriate.
