Saturday Delivery

UPS and FedEx can deliver on Saturday if you choose it as a delivery option. Even if you use services like UPS Next Day Air®, you must select Saturday Delivery. Otherwise, the parcel will be delivered on the next business day.  Special Note: Both carriers do NOT guarantee a delivery time before 11:00 p.m. on Saturday deliveries.

Orders for Epson Ink and Paper (and other inkjet printer supplies) usually ship from a network of 20+ warehouses located across the country. We will try to ship your order from the closest warehouse that has stock.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  You can also put preferred shipping instructions in the "notes" area of your online order.
