Fast Standard Shipping

Fast Standard shipping rates are listed above. We offer free Fast Standard shipping on most domestic orders over $75.00. To qualify, the order total must be at least $75.00, excluding shipping charges and sales tax. Free Fast Standard shipping applies only to orders shipping within the contiguous United States.

We determine the carrier and shipping method for all Fast Standard orders. Orders may ship via the United States Postal Service, UPS, or FedEx. Typical delivery times for Fast Standard shipping are between 1 and 6 business days, depending on the shipping destination. Light or small items are typically shipped via United States Postal Service Ground Advantage or Priority Mail, while heavier items are typically shipped via UPS or FedEx.

Fast Standard Shipping Exceptions
  • We reserve the right to decline free Fast Standard shipping for any order with an unusually large or heavy package. If we determine that free Fast Standard shipping is not available for your order, we will contact you before proceeding with shipment.
  • Certain large or heavy items, including but not limited to trolling motors, augers, downriggers, ice huts or shelters, waders, nets, and orders requiring multiple packages, may be excluded from free Fast Standard shipping and may be subject to additional oversized shipping charges. Any applicable charges will be displayed in the cart during checkout. These items may also have shipping restrictions, including limited availability to the contiguous United States or restrictions on expedited shipping.
  • 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, Hawaii, or U.S. Territories, or may be charged our actual shipping cost. If your order cannot ship to these locations, you will be contacted by our Customer Service team. If your order can ship 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 about these shipping limitations and charges will be shown on the cart page.

Orders shipped to APO boxes and U.S. Territories generally qualify for standard domestic shipping rates. However, oversized items, heavy items, or orders requiring multiple packages may require additional charges. If additional charges apply, we will email you with the updated shipping cost and request your approval before shipping your order.

 

Expedited Shipping

FishUSA offers Three Day, Two Day, and Next Day expedited shipping options for most domestic orders within the contiguous United States. We also offer Express Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories, with delivery typically within 2–3 business days. Shipping speeds are based on the delivery timeframe selected and do not correspond to a specific carrier-branded service.

We select the carrier and delivery method that provides the guaranteed delivery timeframe for your order. Shipping methods may include UPS Ground, UPS Expedited, USPS Priority Mail, FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery, and FedEx Expedited. Please note that expedited orders may ship using a method that requires a signature upon delivery.

The following terms and conditions apply to expedited shipping:

  • Delivery estimates are based on business days only and do not include Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or days when the carrier does not pick up packages. For example, a Two Day order placed Monday morning will typically arrive Wednesday if no holiday intervenes. A Two Day order placed Thursday morning (Eastern Time) will typically arrive the following Monday.
  • 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 physical street address is required for 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 Fast 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 or U.S. 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 our Customer Service team if you have any questions regarding expedited shipping availability or delivery time frames.
