High-Value Critical Shipping Options
Last updated: October 7, 2026
When creating a kit in Cofactr, you will have the option to select from a wide assortment of standard UPS, FedEx, and DHL shipping services. For shipments containing particularly high value parts or parts that are critical and difficult or impossible to replace, we offer a Custom High-Value Critical Services (CHVC) option. For CHVC shipments, we will coordinate directly with you to arrange specific packaging and carrier options.
