For all Products shipping from CoastalFirearms
- All orders ship from Columbia, MO and are delivered by either the United Parcel Service (UPS) or the United States Postal Service (USPS).
- USPS makes final delivery for all orders shipping to a PO Box.
- A variety of carriers could make final delivery for orders shipping with our Economy Service. You have the option to specify your delivery method, however there are additional charges for upgrading Economy to different carrier, shipping method or expedited service and these charges vary.
- All orders, except those shipped via USPS First Class Mail, have tracking information. CoastalFirearms provides the tracking number for your package, in an order confirmation email, when your package ships from our fulfillment center. Tracking numbers are not activated by the individual shipping carrier until they are scanned into the carrier’s system. There may be a delay of up to 48 hours between the time you receive your order confirmation number and the time the tracking number is activated by the carrier. You may access your tracking information by clicking the link in the Shipping Confirmation email or by visiting My Account > Orders. Your order’s specific shipping carrier and service (UPS Ground, USPS Priority etc…) are available at either of these locations.
- Once shipped, orders may not be re-routed due to difference in tax rates and/or legal restrictions at the final destination. If you realize an error has been made with the delivery address, it is important to notify us immediately.
For Ship Alone Products shipping from CoastalFirearms
- Since Ship Alone Products ship separately from other products, they will arrive in a separate package from the rest of your order and possibly on a different date.
For Drop Shipped Products shipping directly from supplier:
- Drop Shipped Products ship separately from supplier, and will arrive in a separate package. If ordered at the same time as other products, drop shipped products may arrive on a different date.
- Carriers and shipping services vary as these are chosen by suppliers. Additional information regarding delivery of Drop Shipped Products can be found on applicable Product pages.
SHIPPING CHARGE CALCULATION
- Shipping Charge Total = Per Order Charge based on Total Order Weight + (Total Order Weight x Per Pound Charge) + Any Additional Charges
- Shipping Charges are based on the Total Order Weight plus any Additional Charges for UPS Final Delivery Upgrades, Location Surcharge for Remote Locations (for orders over 1 Pound), Large or Extra-Large/Irregular Shape Products and HazMat Products.
- The Total Order Weight is determined by adding all individual product Shipping Weights together, adding the weight of the shipping box and packing materials, and rounding that value up to the next pound.
- A product’s Shipping Weight is shown in the “Delivery Information” section of each Product Page. Shipping Weight is the total weight of the product and its packaging, as calculated by the shipping carrier. This weight is the same weight used by the carriers for charges, and is based on the greater of actual or dimensional weight, calculated as (rounded cubic inches) / (carrier dimensional weight divisor).
- The Total Order Weight and all other Shipping Charge elements are shown individually on the Shopping Cart Page.
- The weight of the shipping box and packing materials depend on the size and weight of the products ordered. For example, our smallest products sometimes ship in a padded envelope, which weighs about 1 ounce, while our largest products ship in a box that weighs just under 3 pounds.
- There is no “Per Pound” charge for orders weighing less than 1 pound.
- Products designated as “Ships Alone” (ships from CoastalFirearms, separate from other products), “Oversized” (Large or Extra-Large/Irregular Shape Products), or “Shipped From Supplier ” (ships from supplier, separate from other products) may incur separate charges. These products are designated as such on each Product Page.
- Smokeless Powder, Black Powder, Primers, and Fuses ship from our warehouse with other products. This ensures no more than one Shipping Charge and one HazMat Charge per order (unless you also order products that Ship Separately from CoastalFirearms or our Suppliers and Oversized product charges still apply). Each order is limited to no more than 25 pounds of Black Powder, and no more than 66 pounds each of Smokeless Powder, Primers, or Fuse. Smokeless Powder, Black Powder, Primers, and Fuses are considered hazardous materials, incur HazMat Charges, and can only ship ground freight within the continental U.S. Due to safety considerations and legal/regulatory reasons, Smokeless Powder and Primers cannot be returned.
- For products that are out of stock (backorders), there is a separate Shipping Charge calculation. These products ship together once they are all received or once they have been at CoastalFirearms for 90 days.
- Carriers have a lower threshold for classifying orders as “Large” when they ship via air. Therefore, orders shipping UPS 2nd Business Day Air and UPS Next Business Day Air that are over 3,500 cubic inches incur additional charges.
- USPS Priority Flat Rate shipping has been incorporated into the USPS Priority Service. When an order is eligible based on its contents, and is less expensive to ship via USPS Priority Flat Rate, we will use the USPS Priority Flat Rate service. Shipping charges for USPS Priority Flat Rate are the same as the published rates charged by the USPS. When USPS Priority Flat Rate is used, no location surcharges will be applied.
PRODUCTS DESIGNATED AS SHIPS FREE & FREE SHIPPING ORDERS
- Free Shipping only applies to products designated as “Ships Free” on orders containing $49 in Free Shipping products and occasional Free Shipping promotions (with some exceptions for certain large, bulky products).
- Additional Charges for Products shipping directly from our Suppliers, Delivery to remote locations, Large orders shipping UPS 2nd Business Day Air and UPS Next Business Day Air, Large or Extra-Large/Irregular Shape Products, and HazMat Products are still applicable for products designated as “Ships Free”.
- Free Shipping is only available to remote locations for orders under 1 Pound with USPS Final Delivery. Orders over 1 Pound going to these destinations ship per the Shipping Charges in the Shipping Rate Chart, including the Location Surcharge for remote locations.
- If an order contains one or more products designated as “Ships Free”, and there are NO Non-Free-Shipping products and/or NO Additional Charges on the order, there are NO Shipping Charges associated with the order.
- If an order contains one or more products shown as “Ships Free” and there ARE other Non-Free-Shipping products and/or Additional Charges on the order, the incremental, “Per Pound” and Additional Charges associated with the Non-Free-Shipping products are added to the Shipping Charges.
