Allstar Terminals: shipping times, same-day cutoff and shipping rates
Blank units ordered by 10 AM CST (Monday to Friday) ship the same day. Injected or programmed orders ship 2 to 3 business days from when the order is placed. US orders of $999 or more get free standard shipping; smaller US orders pay $17.99 flat or a carrier-calculated rate. Allstar ships internationally with rates calculated at checkout.

Check first
- Is the order for blank (unconfigured) units, or does it need key injection or programming?
- What time, in Central time, was the order placed, and on which day of the week?
- Is the ship-to address in the US, Canada, or another country?
- What is the order total before shipping?
This guide explains when an Allstar Terminals order ships and what shipping costs, so you can set the right expectation before you order.
Before you start
- Know whether your units are blank or need key injection or programming. That decides the ship date.
- Check the time in Central time when you place a blank-unit order.
- Have the ship-to country and the order total ready to read the shipping rate.
Steps
- Decide whether the order is blank or needs configuration. A blank unit ships with no encryption keys and no processor or gateway setup loaded. An injected or programmed unit is configured by Allstar before it ships. Expected: You know which rule applies: same-day for blank units, 2 to 3 business days for injected or programmed units.
- For blank units that must ship today, place the order by 10 AM CST, Monday to Friday. Expected: The order ships the same business day. Orders placed after 10 AM CST ship the next business day.
- For injected or programmed units, place the order and send the processor, key set and configuration details with it. Expected: The order ships 2 to 3 business days from when the order is placed, once configuration is complete. Same-day and overnight shipping do not apply to injected or programmed units.
- Check the shipping charge at checkout or on your quote. US orders of $999 or more get free standard shipping. Smaller US orders pay $17.99 flat or a carrier-calculated rate. Canada ships by UPS; other countries ship by DHL Express, UPS or USPS, with rates calculated at checkout. Expected: The shipping line at checkout or on the quote matches the rule for your destination and order total.
- For international orders, ask sales@allstarterminals.com about duties, taxes and whether your destination is served before you pay. Expected: Allstar confirms what applies to your destination before the order ships.
If that did not work
If the ship date or shipping charge you see does not match the rules above, contact Allstar at 888-403-7066 or sales@allstarterminals.com with the order number, whether the units are blank or configured, the ship-to country and the date the order was placed. Duties, taxes and transit times after dispatch are not published: ask us.

Stop and contact support if
- A customer was promised same-day or overnight shipping on an injected or programmed order: stop, correct the expectation to 2 to 3 business days and tell sales@allstarterminals.com.
- A customer quotes a 12 PM or 2 PM cutoff from an older page: the cutoff is 10 AM CST; route the page reference to support so the page can be corrected.
Contact Allstar at 888-403-7066 or sales@allstarterminals.com with the order number, whether the units are blank or configured, the ship-to country and the date the order was placed.
Notes
- Live page https://allstarterminals.com/policies/shipping-policy has an empty body (read 2026-10-23); there is no published shipping policy text to cite. This article follows the owner's statements in the authority file.
- Any site text showing a 12 PM or 2 PM same-day cutoff is wrong; owner correction dated 2026-10-08 sets the cutoff at 10 AM CST.
- Duties, taxes, customs fees and restricted destination countries for international orders are not stated by the owner or on any live page: ask us.
- Transit times after dispatch (for example how many days standard shipping takes) are not stated on a live page or by the owner: ask us.
- The Monday to Friday qualifier follows Allstar's business hours (owner, 2026-10-17). Holiday handling is not stated: ask us.
- Free shipping threshold at checkout applies at an order total of $999.99 or more in the US Domestic zone (owner, 2026-09-19). Any $199 threshold on the site is wrong.
