We’ve all heard the phrase, "timing is everything," and while we here at 2Sand.com think timing is certainly important, we don’t believe ‘everything’ starts and ends with timing. When it comes to the success of projects, we tend to agree with President Dwight D. Eisenhower when he said “planning is everything.” Without planning, even the simplest of tasks can go awry and the ability to put perfect timing into play is minimal.

Planning allows you to look into the future, decide how that future will look, and then take action today to make it happen. It is often the source of inspiration that pushes you to innovate, by creating new solutions to make your vision of tomorrow a reality. Planning also gives you the ability to manage change, determine timing, and even practice perfect timing to make certain that events occur when you want them to happen: things like getting your sanding supplies when you need them.

2Sand.com recently launched a new feature in your shopping cart and checkout to help you manage your sanding product needs and estimate when you will receive your order. For FedEx and UPS shipping options, we now provide shipping cost AND an estimate of when you should expect delivery based on your location and shipping method selected. This new estimation feature not only takes into consideration shipping time, but also lead, packaging, and handling times, giving you a true idea of when your sanding discs, sandpaper rolls, and sanding belts should be at your door.

Go ahead and try it – go shopping for the sanding supplies you need, then complete the Country, State/Province and Zip/Postal Code information in the Estimate Shipping and Tax box below your products. Click the Get a Quote button and – voila! Your shipping options, delivery estimates and cost are all laid out for you.

We hope you find this new feature to be as handy as we do and make it part of your plan for success in your shop!
