How long will it take to receive my laser machine?

We have a warehouse in Vancouver, so once payment is completed, customers will receive their machine within 1-2 weeks. Timing varies according to shipping company demands and conditions when in transport. Some newer models of our machines will be shipped directly from the factory overseas at times.

How long does it take to receive accessories?

Usually, customers will receive the accessory within 1-2 weeks after full payment. It changes according to real-time situations when in transport. Accessories are shipped from our Calgary showroom separate from the machines.

Will liftgate services will be provided when unloading?

It depends on the model of the machine. For Nova 24/35 we select the liftgate services for customers when placing the shipping order online. Usually, the machine can unload through the liftgate. For Nova 51/63, we will also select liftgate services for customers, but this service may not be provided. Because the NOVA 51 and NOVA 63 machines are larger than standard liftgates when crated. (Crate dimensions: Nova51: 230x155x127cm 540kg, Nova63: 230x165x127cm 600kg)

It is not safe to unload the machine from the liftgate.

Suggestions for unloading the large-sized machines

Usually, shipping company truck drivers are not responsible for the unloading. Customers need to unload their machines from the truck themselves.

Please note that the NOVA 51 and NOVA 63 machines are larger than standard liftgates when crated. (Crate dimensions: Nova51: 230x155x127cm 540kg, Nova63: 230x165x127cm 600kg) This means an electric forklift is required for unloading these machines.

Having several strong, fit, friends around to help when your machine arrives is also extremely helpful, otherwise, some drivers may refuse to deliver.

When I get the machine, I will need to tip it on it's side to load it on a dolly. Is there a preferred side to avoid damaging it?

When you receive your machine, the machine is packaged with a crate. The crate size is 155*91*84cm and weighs 226Kg.

When the machine is packaged with a crate, and you load it on the dolly top side up should be better. The top side up is the only placement we recommend.

If you are unpacking the wood case, you need to go through a narrow door and turn the machine on its side.

Take care to protect the laser tube, you can carefully place the machine on its back after removing the moving parts and reducing the weight of the machine.

The placement details are shown in Figure 1 in the attachment.

The size of our machine is 145*81*66cm. The following link is a video of a machine passing through a narrow door, I hope it can provide you with a reference.

At the same time, there is also a link for the machine to remove the moving parts through the door, I hope it will be useful to you.

It is also extremely helpful to have people around to help when loading your machine on the dolly.

Can the machine be delayed in delivery?

If the machine arrives earlier than expected, we can keep it at the terminal hubs for 2-3 days. But the carrier won’t store the machine for us for long, or they will return the machine to the shipper’s warehouse.

We will send an email to confirm with you again when approaching the delivery date two or three days before and see if there is any change in the delivery address and time.
