Shipping

We ship throughout the United States and Canada.

Ground Shipping

Most products ship via FedEx Ground. Shipping quotes are calculated automatically at checkout based on package dimensions and your delivery address.

  • • Packages up to 150 lbs
  • • Maximum length: 108"
  • • Delivery to the contiguous US and Canada
  • • Hawaii & Alaska require custom freight quotes

Freight Shipping

Larger orders ship on pallets via freight carrier. You'll be asked at checkout whether your facility can receive freight deliveries.

  • • Custom crating for oversized items
  • • Lift-gate service available if you don't have a loading dock
  • • Residential delivery available

Grant Planning

We work with grant-funded organizations regularly and can help with your application timeline.

What We Can Provide

  • Budget estimates — detailed quotes for your grant application
  • Project scope documents — descriptions of deliverables and timeline
  • Design mockups — conceptual renderings to include in your proposal
  • Company qualifications — portfolio and credentials for your application

Timeline Tips

Reach out early — ideally 4–6 weeks before your grant deadline. This gives us time to develop accurate estimates and any supporting materials you need.

We understand that grant timelines are often uncertain. We're happy to provide estimates even if funding isn't confirmed yet, and we'll hold pricing for a reasonable period.


Institutional Procurement

We work with museums, government agencies, universities, and nonprofits nationwide.

Purchase Orders

We accept purchase orders. Use our "Request a Quote" option at checkout to receive a formal PDF quote for your procurement process.

Tax-Exempt

Email a copy of your sales tax exemption certificate to info@uplandexhibits.com and we'll apply the exemption to your order.

Payment Terms

Standard terms are 50% deposit to begin production, with the balance due before shipment. Custom terms available for larger projects.
