Shipping

At Tackle World, we offer FREE shipping for orders over $100.00 in continental USA, EXCLUDING rods, blanks and other oversize items. We use UPS for RODS and MOST REELS due to delivery concerns. 

All RODS and REELS require Signature Confirmation. IF you would like to opt out of Signature Confirmation, please let us know via order note at the time of order so that we can process accordingly BEFORE shipping. If the order has already shipped, please use UPS My Choice to change confirmation method (CLICK HERE). PLEASE note that Tackle World is NOT liable for any loss or theft for orders that have opted out of or overrode signature confirmation service. If you would like to opt out of signature confirmation, we highly recommend purchasing ROUTE package protection at the time of order so that you're fully protected in case of loss, theft or even damage.

$25 flat rate shipping for rods and blanks. When ordering multiple rods and/or blanks we will consolidate packaging.

Shipping and delivery dates are based on the AVAILABILITY of the items and SHIPPING option. Orders normally take 1-2 business days to process for shipping. Random authentication process may take place for quality and customer security.

Weekend delivery: weekends are typically not considered business days and therefore transit and deliveries are unavailable on weekends. Many USPS hubs may make Saturday deliveries, but this is solely up to the local hub's discretion and is out of our control. For UPS, Saturday delivery may be available but will incur an additional charge. If you would like your order to be delivered on Saturday, or you want to make sure your order is actively in transit on Saturday, please reach out to us via e-mail or phone BEFORE your order is shipped so that you can settle the additional charge.

When ordering, please plan ahead as unforeseen delay, damage or loss can happen within any type of carrier. For urgent orders, please contact us directly prior to order placement so that we can accommodate your needs.

Online order department is open Monday through Friday from 9AM-5PM EST and closed for public holidays.

Shipping cut off time is Monday through Friday at 12pm EST for USPS (may include Standard shipping method), and 2pm EST for UPS. This time may change depending on carrier pick-up time for the day. There is no shipping on federal holidays, even if the store is open.

For assistance with any order issues, please e-mail us at info@tackleworld.com or call us at 201-587-0011 during business hours (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm EST).

 

ROUTE Package Protection

Starting February 2023, Tackle World has partnered up with ROUTE to offer you a comprehensible and hassle-free package protection service. When you purchase ROUTE package protection at the time of checkout, at as little as 98 cents per order, you can protect your package from theft, loss and damage.

As a small business, as much as we try to help you, our patron, there can be limits to what we can accommodate when unforeseen issues arise during and after order delivery. When there is a loss, unreasonable delay, damage, or theft--which has been happening more and more--it is not only an inconvenience but often a critical loss for both you and us. Traditionally, dealing with carriers as either shipper or recipient can take too long, with a massive uncertainty on whether the loss can be recovered or reimbursed; not to mention most loss, damage and theft claims are thrown out by the carriers for many reasons.

ROUTE package protection eliminates all of the issues above! We have seen it with our own customers after partnering up with ROUTE. 100% of claims that were submitted so far were approved within 24-48 hours since claim submission, whether it be in a form of refund or replacement! In addition, ROUTE is also able to send you real-time shipping and delivery notifications via e-mail and/or text, per your request, which is pretty darn cool too.

We highly encourage you to join the rest of the anglers in this fool-proof shopping experience. Not only does it give you a peace of mind, it actually WORKS! All you need to do is simply click on a little button next to "Package Protection" in your Shopping Cart page.
