Yes, we can ship equipment on your account. 

If the equipment you need is in stock at one of our regional offices, then express shipping will always be less than our competitors because we are closer to you OR you are welcome to pick up the equipment for free. If the equipment you need is not in stock at your regional office, then standard shipping rates apply to get the equipment to your job site or to our regional office for pick up.

Returning equipment to Protec is always less expensive than the competition because the unit will be returned to the Protec regional office nearest to you or your job site (often utilizing FedEx Ground service) OR you are welcome to drop off the equipment for free at any of your regional offices.
