Shipping, Delivery & What to Expect
Where can you deliver kayaks?
We can deliver to most physical addresses within the contiguous (lower 48) states. Delivery is not available to post office or private mailboxes, Hawaii, Alaska, APO addresses, or other countries. Remote addresses or limited-accessibility locations may require additional handling. Please reach out to our customer service team if you have questions about your address.
When will my order ship, and when will I receive it?
Once your order is placed, your shipment will be scheduled on the next available truck. After it ships, our shipping partner, FragilePak, will email you tracking information and a questionnaire to coordinate drop-off. Once your boat has shipped, standard delivery time is two to four weeks.
How are kayaks shipped?
We partner with top-quality freight carriers to make sure your kayak arrives safely. Their white-glove delivery service has a 99% damage-free delivery rate.
What should I expect after my order ships?
You'll receive a follow-up email from FragilePak. Please open it and fill out the delivery survey, which helps get your kayak to you as quickly as possible. While your kayak is en route, FragilePak will keep you updated on its progress and arrange a delivery time.
Total transit time from shipment through delivery averages 10–14 business days. More remote locations may take extra time. Once you have a tracking number, you can track your shipment
here.
FragilePak will call to schedule your delivery day, then contact you the day before with a 4-hour delivery window, and again 30 minutes before final delivery. The delivery team will bring your kayak to the first dry area — such as your porch or garage — but will not unpack it or remove debris. A signature is required at delivery. Please make sure there's a clear path between where the truck will park and your desired delivery location.
If you have questions about your shipment, you can email FragilePak at

(720) 535-4139 — including your PRO/tracking number gets you the fastest response. You're also welcome to reach out to our customer service team directly.
What do I do when my kayak arrives?
Please unwrap your kayak and thoroughly inspect it for damage before accepting the delivery. Ask the driver to wait while you inspect it.
Damage, Cancellations & Returns
What do I do if my boat arrives with damage?
Please report any damage to our customer service team within 72 hours of delivery.
Major damage — damage that compromises the hull and voids the warranty, such as holes, crush damage, or cracks: take pictures, write a description of the damage on the bill of lading, return the damaged kayak to the driver, and contact our customer service department immediately.
Cosmetic damage — nicks, scratches, dents, or broken parts: take pictures, accept the shipment, and contact our customer service department. We'll provide a repair kit and instructions. If you choose to return a kayak with minor cosmetic damage, you'll be responsible for return shipping costs and a 20% restocking fee upon our receipt of the boat.
What is your order cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel an order, please call our customer service team immediately. Kayak orders cannot be cancelled once the kayak has shipped.
What is your return policy on kayaks?
We accept returns of unused items within 30 days of the purchase date. Products must be unused and in the same condition as shipped.
All returns require a Return Authorization Number (RA#) — contact our customer service department and reference your order number to obtain one.
Our return shipping address is: 3300 McMinnville Hwy, Sparta, TN 38583.
You're responsible for return shipping costs — we're unable to offer our own shipping service for returns. Services like freightquote.com or freightcenter.com are a good starting point for quotes.
Once your kayak is received and inspected at our warehouse, we'll process your refund to your original payment method.
Please note: to receive a refund, the kayak must arrive back in new condition with all original packaging and accessories, show no signs of wear, and must not have been on the water. Damaged or used kayaks will not be accepted, and no refund will be given.
