Shipping policy

How we ship

Kayaks over 60 lbs ship freight to your driveway. Smaller orders (accessories, paddles, PFDs) ship UPS or FedEx Ground. Every kayak is uncrated and water-tested before it leaves our shop.

Real freight rates

Kayak orders ship LTL freight (less-than-truckload) with curbside-residential delivery and liftgate. Base rate is $449 in the Western US for one kayak, plus $179 per additional kayak on the same pallet. Accessory orders ship UPS/FedEx Ground from $14 (under $100), $29 ($100-$500), or $59 ($500+ heavy items). Pickup is free.

Shipping insurance (required)

Every shipped order carries a mandatory transit-insurance fee of 2.5% of merchandise value, with a $19 minimum and $179 cap. The fee covers loss, theft, or freight damage from the moment the truck leaves our dock until you sign for delivery. Claims paid within 7 business days, no deductible, no questions asked. Pickup orders skip the fee.

Delivery time

Freight: 5–9 business days. Ground: 2–4 business days. We email tracking the day your order ships.
