Free Shipping on Qualifying Orders of $69 or More

Qualifying items totaling $69.00 or more will ship completely FREE! Items that do not qualify for "free shipping" that are in your order will be the only items that you are billed shipping for at checkout, as shipping costs vary based on weight and size of the item. Please note that most closeout, clearance and sale items are not eligible for free shipping. Shipping addresses in Alaska and Hawaii are not eligible for free shipping at this time.

Kayaks, canoes, stand up paddleboards, and other larger items do not qualify for free shipping.

Our free shipping method is most commonly UPS Ground for medium to large size items, and for smaller clothing items or accessories, USPS. 

All Non-Watercraft Orders Typically Ship within 24-48 Hours

Most orders placed Monday through Friday are shipped the same day if the order is submitted by 12:00 PM Central Time. Orders submitted after 12:00 PM on Fridays will be processed to ship the following Monday. When your order is marked "shipped," you will receive an email containing the tracking number. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking data to update, as tracking numbers are created before the item is physically picked up by UPS or USPS.

If for any reason your order cannot be fulfilled within 24-48 hours due to stock availability, a customer service representative will contact you with options regarding your order.

We Recycle!

At Sherper's we care about the environment and attempt to recycle all packing materials. We receive many packages at our stores each day, and strive to use all of that packaging to ship your order before using any new packing materials. Stay green!

TRANSIT TIMES

Most medium to large size items with free shipping are shipped via UPS Ground. Smaller items such as gloves, t-shirts, or lightweight objects will ship via USPS. Items shipped via USPS can take up to 5 days to receive once in transit. UPS Ground shipments can arrive as quickly as one day depending upon where you are located! 

Please see the current UPS Grounds shipping time map below for estimates on how quickly you may receive your package if shipped via UPS Ground:

Canoes, Kayaks and Stand Up Paddleboards | How Do We Ship Our Large Watersports Gear?

Some Single Recreational Kayaks under 16’ in length can be shipped via Estes-Express Freight, while we do not prefer it. We prefer to ship all watercraft items through FragilePak only.

If you wish to have your kayak shipped via Estes-Express LTL shipping, please call to make this request. These kayaks are carefully wrapped in multiple layers of corrugated cardboard and thick plastic wrap. 

Kayak deliveries via Estes-Express typically take between 5-14 days for delivery from the time of purchase.

Once the kayak reaches the nearest Estes-Express terminal to your home, a driver will reach out to schedule delivery as someone will need to be present to receive the shipment. 

While we take extra care to wrap each kayak thoroughly, it is important to inspect your kayak immediately upon delivery PRIOR to signing for it. Once a kayak is signed for, we are unable to file any damage claims or have the kayak returned, so it is very important to fully inspect the kayak before you sign for the delivery.

Once the driver arrives with your kayak, carefully open the kayak and fully inspect it for any major damage. If there is any damage, at this point you can deny the shipment and have the driver take it back. Please take photos of the damage to submit to customerservice@sherpers.com for the purpose of filing a damage claim. 

If there is no damage, or very minor imperfections and you choose to keep the kayak, you can sign to accept the delivery.

Please note that once a kayak is signed for, we are unable to file claims with the freight shipper, and the kayak is unable to be returned. Fully inspect all sides of your kayak thoroughly prior to signing. By making a purchase, you are acknowledging and accepting these conditions.

Single Recreational Kayaks under 16', Tandem kayaks, heavier fishing kayaks, canoes, and longer touring kayaks over 16’ in length will ship via FragilePak. 

FragilePak is a damage free delivery service, guaranteeing your kayak or canoe arrives in ideal condition! Kayak deliveries via FragilePak can take between 3-6+ weeks for delivery, depending upon current demand. 

Kayaks are wrapped thoroughly with protective plastic, and transported directly by FragilePak from our warehouse to your home. When your boat reaches the nearest terminal to the shipping address, you will be able to schedule your delivery with FragilePak. Someone does need to be available to accept the delivery from FragilePak. While damage is very unlikely, it is still suggested to inspect your kayak and note any damage before the driver leaves. If you find any imperfections, please take photos and submit them to customerservice@sherpers.com within 24 hours of receiving your kayak. We will work with FragilePak to evaluate the damage and provide a resolution depending upon the level of damage.
