| Delivery Info
Fast & friendly service: Internet Orders ship within 24 hours... or less! We are shipping from Brooklin, Maine, the high-traffic count (if you're talking about deer, bear, and moose) metropolis on the coast of Maine, so packages will arrive in the New England area within a day of when we ship. It should take 2 to 7 working days for other areas of the US to receive their orders. Working days exclude the weekends and typical holidays. Full-sized boat kits are the exception, and will take 3-6 weeks.
Next-day and Two-day orders placed by noon, EST ship that day, at fair delivery prices.
Next-day and Two-day delivery orders placed after 12:00 noon on Friday ship on Monday.
Please note, our Next-day fees are geared for what Fedex terms "Standard" overnight delivery. That means it saves you money by not forcing "Priority" overnight delivery fees on you. However, a few areas do not get "Standard" service (usually because they are too far from the Fedex terminal) and if you happen to be in one of those areas you'll see a bogus ship charge (ie: blatantly low fee). We know you'll be understanding when we contact you with the "real" rates, ie: priority overnight, or your other options, like priority mail, etc. We figured it better to have the bogus rate show on a very few orders, than penalize 99% of the next day deliveries with the higher "Priority" fees. Apologies for our limitations.
Honest Timing: A Next-day delivery order placed on Thursday after 12:00 noon would be delivered on Monday, and a Two-day delivery would arrive on Tuesday. It's all based on the cut-off time and the "working days" of the carriers.
No COD's outside the US (sorry, not even Canada). The $8.50 extra charge for COD will be added to the order after you "send" it here.
Delivery Outside the US? Use the pull-down at the STATE field, and select International, or if going to Canada, select the providence. Please note: for certain items going to certain countries we will require Federal Express for delivery. They are safe, fast, but not inexpensive. Of course, we will not ship this way until we have confirmed with you. We may need to decline the acceptance of the order if not allowed to ship via Fedex.
Customs / Duties for shipments outside the US. Sorry, but those fees are your responsibility. We cannot predict what the fine folks at your local customs house will decide. PLEASE NOTE: If you decide to refuse a package because your customs agents are extracting a pound of flesh nearest the heart... they will ship the package back to us in Brooklin, Maine. And, they will charge us for that privilege, so we would need to pass-on that charge to you. Ouch!
A word of caution... our tracking of packages to Canada (even Nova Scotia which is very close to us) shows 1-6 weeks is par. Delivery to European countries varies greatly, ranging from just a week or two, but... 6-8 weeks is not uncommon.
