When your lab project is on a deadline, waiting 12-16 weeks for furniture is not an option. Labs USA keeps core lab furniture, casework, fume hoods, and workstations in stock for the fastest delivery in the industry. Whether you are building a new lab, renovating an existing one, or replacing damaged equipment, our quick-ship program gets you what you need without the typical lead time.
Why Quick-Ship Matters for Lab Projects
Lab construction and renovation timelines are unforgiving. Equipment delays cascade into contractor idle time, missed inspection dates, and delayed lab operations. Every week of delay costs money in lost productivity, extended rental agreements, and rescheduled research.
Labs USA addresses this with:
- In-stock inventory on the products labs use most: metal casework, stainless steel casework, work surfaces, shelving, tables, and select fume hoods
- Short lead times measured in days, not months
- Responsive quoting so you get pricing the same day you ask
- Coordination with your contractor for delivery timing that aligns with your construction schedule

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you ship lab furniture?
In-stock items typically ship within 3-10 business days depending on the product and quantity. Standard casework and shelving ship fastest. Custom work surfaces and specialty items may take 2-4 weeks.
Is quick-ship furniture the same quality as custom-order?
Yes. Our in-stock casework and furniture meet the same SEFA 8 standards and quality specifications as custom orders. The only difference is that quick-ship items come in standard sizes and finishes rather than custom configurations.
Can I mix quick-ship and custom items in the same order?
Absolutely. Many lab projects combine in-stock standard casework with custom work surfaces, specialty sinks, or non-standard configurations. We coordinate shipping so everything arrives together or in a sequence that matches your installation plan.
Do you offer free lab design services for quick-ship projects?
Yes. Our design team provides CAD drawings, layout recommendations, and product specifications at no charge, regardless of whether you are ordering quick-ship or custom products. Contact our design team →
