During the holidays our turnaround time may exceed ECE's standard average of 3-5 business days. During this temporary period of reduced staffing as our employees celebrate
with friends and family, our 5-day rush option is available if you need the evaluation report within 5 business days.

***Happy Holidays! ECE will be closed on Wednesday, December 25th for Christmas Day and Wednesday, January 1st for New Year's Day. These two days will not count as processing days.***
