Free Fast Standard Shipping

Currently we offer FREE Fast Standard shipping on most domestic orders over $39.00. 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 $39.00. 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 kayaks, 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 kayaks, 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, kayaks, 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.

  • 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.

Kayak Shipping Terms and Information

  • We ship kayaks via LTL freight carriers. Kayaks do not qualify for FREE Standard shipping or expedited shipping.
  • All kayaks are subject to a shipping & handling fee that will typically be shown in the cart during the checkout process. The fees will vary and are based on the item dimensions and weight as well as the shipping destination.
  • In some cases, we may be unable to ship a kayak to its destination or we may need to charge you our actual shipping cost. If your order cannot be shipped or requires you to pay our actual shipping cost, you will be contacted by our Customer Service team. If you need to pay our actual shipping cost, we will provide you with a new shipping quote and we will hold the kayak until you approve the new shipping quote and pay the additional shipping cost.
  • The LTL freight carrier will deliver your kayak in a large tractor-trailer. Because of this, the “ship to” location must be able to accommodate a tractor-trailer vehicle. Our LTL freight carrier service provider will contact you when your kayak is shipped and when it is ready to be delivered to establish a delivery day and time window.
