When a failed receiver shuts down a concrete pour or a malfunctioning laser level idles a grading crew, every hour of downtime costs real money. Express Tools' FedEx Next Day Air Priority shipping option gets critical professional equipment — laser levels, total stations, grade control systems, machine control components, and more — to your jobsite or shop by the next business day. Stop losing billable hours to slow freight and get back to work fast.
FedEx Next Day Air Priority — How It Works
Add any in-stock item to your cart and select FedEx Next Day Air Priority at checkout. Orders placed before our daily cutoff time ship the same day from our warehouse. FedEx delivers Priority overnight shipments by 10:30 AM or 12:00 PM to most commercial addresses in the contiguous United States, depending on your destination zip code. Residential deliveries are typically completed by end of day. Once your order ships, you'll receive a FedEx tracking number by email so you can monitor the shipment in real time — right down to the truck on your street.

Machine Control Component Failures: GPS antennas, cable harnesses, and control boxes for dozer or motor grader systems are mission-critical. Next Day Air Priority keeps your iron running instead of sitting idle waiting on ground freight.
Survey Equipment for Time-Sensitive Bids: Total station or data collector needed for a layout or as-built that can't wait? Ship it overnight and hit your deadline without compromising accuracy by borrowing unfamiliar gear.
