When you purchase from an Authorized Guardian Distributor like Safety Emporium, you are guaranteed that you are receiving genuine, new, and warranty-covered Guardian Equipment products.
Although Guardian's products are made in Chicago, IL USA, they have been hit hard by the combination of supply chain disruption (particularly for stainless steel), unprecedented demand, and a tight labor market. Products that used to be "quick ship" within 1-2 business days before the pandemic have continued to experience prolonged lead times.
Most replacement parts have no more than a week lead time. Most signs and miscellaneous small items are all shipping normally.
The following list shows the current lead times of select products as of the date shown in the far right column. Similar items have similar lead times; for example, the G1950 and G1909 will have the same estimated lead time as the G1902. Please feel free to contact us for the latest information on your specific model whether or not it's listed here.
