Canada
Fishing Rods are not available to ship to Canada. For all other orders, you can expect delivery within 2-3 weeks after your order has shipped. Canadian tracking information is only active while a shipment is in transit within the United States. Tracking information will not update beyond the Canadian border.
Shipping Carriers
We ship all of our products with UPS and the United States Postal Service (USPS). UPS Small parcels will be the carrier on all expedited 2-day shipping orders. UPS is the carrier that picks up the orders from our facility and then the individual packages are handed off to the USPS to make the final delivery to your address.
Shipping Destinations
We currently ship within the United States and Canada. Fishing Rods are only available in the United States and not available to ship to Canada.
Shipping Fees
All of our monthly subscription boxes ship for FREE within the United States and Canada. All other items including our specialty boxes, apparel, reels, and additional ecommerce items require a shipping fee. We do offer an option to upgrade your shipping at this time. Select items will have the option to purchase with 2-day expedited shipping for just $9.99.
- $6.99 USD (U.S. & Canada)
*Fishing Rods will include an additional $12 shipping surcharge on each order.
Tracking My Order
Once your order ships, we will send you a confirmation email with tracking information. You can also login to your account at any time to check the status of your shipment and view tracking from the main page after logging into your account. Tracking numbers may take a full 24-48 hours from the ship date to activate, and it's normal for a few days to go by without a location update. Please be aware that if your order contains more than one item you may receive more than one tracking as products may ship from different locations depending on the item ordered.
All shipments come equipped with forwarding capabilities which means customers can edit their shipping address while a shipment is in transit by contacting a USPS Post Office and requesting 'Mail Forwarding' to get your package re-routed. Please be aware it can take up to an additional 2 weeks to arrive once a shipment has been re-routed.
