Free Fast Standard Shipping

Currently we offer FREE Fast Standard shipping on most domestic orders over $59.00. We will determine the shipping method for all Fast Standard orders. Free Fast Standard shipping applies only if the order total, exclusive of shipping charges and tax, is at least $59.00. Free Fast Standard shipping applies only to the contiguous United States.

Our Standard shipping method may be from the United States Postal Service, UPS, or FedEx. Typical delivery time for Fast Standard shipping is typically between 1 and 6 business days depending on shipping location.

Light or small items are usually shipped United States Postal Service Ground Advantage or Priority mail, and heavier items are usually shipped by UPS or FedEx.

The following are exceptions to our FREE Fast Standard shipping charges:

  • We reserve the right to decline to ship any order via FREE Fast Standard shipping if the package is unusually large or heavy. If we decline to ship an order via FREE Fast Standard shipping, we will contact you before we proceed with your order.
  • Certain large or heavy items (including but not limited to trolling motors, augers, downriggers, ice huts or shelters, waders, nets, or orders that must ship in multiple packages) are excluded from FREE Fast Standard shipping and may be subject to additional oversized shipping charges which will be displayed in the cart during the checkout process. These large or heavy items may not qualify for expedited shipping and may be limited to shipping to the 48 contiguous United States. Information noting these shipping limitations and charges will be noted on the items. Some of these larger items may be shipped by a freight company.
  • Certain large or heavy items (including but not limited to trolling motors, augers, downriggers, ice huts or shelters, waders, nets, or orders that must ship in multiple packages) may be excluded from shipping to Alaska or Hawaii, or may be charged our actual shipping cost. If your order cannot ship to Alaska or Hawaii, you will be contacted by our Customer Service team. If your order can ship to Alaska or Hawaii but requires you to pay for our actual shipping cost, our Customer Service team will notify you with a shipping cost quote and await your approval by telephone or email. Information noting these shipping limitations and charges will be noted on the items.

Generally orders shipped to APO boxes and United States territories ship for our standard domestic shipping rates. However, if an item it too large or heavy or requires shipment in multiple packages, additional charges may apply. If additional charges do apply, before we ship your order we will email you with the additional shipping charges and request your approval of those charges.

 

Three Day, Two Day, and Next Day Domestic Shipping

FishUSA offers Three Day, Two Day and Next Day delivery of most domestic orders. We will select a delivery method that the carrier guarantees will deliver your order within the time window according to business days. Our shipping speed does not correspond to a specific carrier-branded shipping service. Delivery methods that we use, and that provide guaranteed delivery dates, include UPS Ground, UPS Expedited, USPS Priority Mail, FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery, and FedEx Expedited. Please note we may ship these orders by a method that requires a signature for delivery.

The following additional terms and conditions apply to expedited domestic shipping:

  • Delivery dates are business days only and do not include Saturday, Sunday, holidays or dates on which UPS or FedEx does not pick up. For example, if you order on Monday morning with Two Day delivery, your order will arrive on Wednesday if no holiday intervenes. If you order on Thursday morning (Eastern Time) with Two Business Day delivery, your order will arrive on the following Monday, which is two working days after the order date.
  • Orders received after 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) may ship the next business day.
  • Guaranteed shipping dates are valid for in-stock items only. If the item is not in stock, we will contact you promptly.
  • A street address is required for both expedited shipping and for items that ship directly from the manufacturer. We cannot deliver expedited or drop ship orders to a post office box.
  • Certain large or heavy items (including but not limited to ice augers, nets, downriggers, trolling motors, waders, ice huts and ice shelters) are subject to an oversized charge, or orders that must ship in multiple packages, will not ship for the expedited rates shown above. If an order contains an item that is too large or too heavy to ship for the expedited rates shown above, or if the order must ship in multiple packages, we will contact you promptly and advise you of the shipping charges and options available. In addition, certain items are too large to ship expedited. If an order contains an item that is too large to ship expedited, we will contact you promptly and advise you of the options available. Please contact us if you have any questions about an expedited order.
  • Certain promotional, free and incentive items that ship separate from an expedited order will be shipped Standard. FishUSA reserves the right to determine how promotional, free or incentive items will be shipped.
  • UPS, FedEx, and USPS will not deliver expedited orders to certain rural addresses.
  • Expedited shipping is not available for orders shipped to APO boxes and United States territories.
  • For prompt delivery of expedited orders, please ensure that someone will be available at your shipping location to receive your order. If your mailing address is a post office box, please also include a physical address, because UPS and FedEx cannot deliver to a post office box.
  • Please contact us if you have any questions regarding expedited shipment availability or delivery time frames.
