When a downed instrument is costing your crew hours or a fast-tracked project demands immediate mobilization, standard ground shipping simply won't cut it. Express Tools offers FedEx 2 Day Air freight service to put mission-critical construction equipment, laser levels, GNSS receivers, and precision surveying instruments in your hands within two business days — keeping your schedule intact and your crew productive.
Expedited Equipment Delivery Across the Continental U.S.
FedEx 2 Day Air provides guaranteed expedited delivery to virtually every address in the continental United States. Orders placed before our daily cutoff ship the same day and arrive by the end of the second business day. Whether you're running a pipeline corridor in Texas, a high-rise foundation in Chicago, or a road-widening project in the Pacific Northwest, Express Tools ensures your instruments reach the job site on time.
We specialize in shipping professional-grade contractor equipment — from delicate optical and laser instruments to ruggedized GNSS antennas and total stations. Every order is carefully packaged in manufacturer-approved materials to protect sensitive calibration and optics during transit.

Job Site Applications
Emergency Equipment Replacement: A failed total station or dead laser receiver can halt an entire survey or grading crew. FedEx 2 Day Air gets a replacement instrument on site fast — minimizing downtime and keeping subcontractor schedules on track.
New Project Mobilization: When a project award comes in ahead of schedule, you need equipment on the ground immediately. Use 2 Day Air to mobilize laser levels, pipe lasers, or GNSS units to the site before your crew arrives.
Remote Job Site Supply: Rural and remote construction sites often fall outside the reach of same-day local suppliers. FedEx 2 Day Air bridges the gap, delivering to job site addresses, contractor yards, or nearby FedEx hold locations.
Rental Fleet Replenishment: Equipment rental operations and survey firms requiring fast turnaround on units in their fleet can use 2 Day Air to return or replace instruments without breaking project commitments.
