Shipping Policy

Effective Date: November 1, 2025

At California Fish Plants, we aim to deliver your fishing tackle orders, including jigs, spoons, lures, plastics, line, and scents, promptly and securely. This Shipping Policy outlines our shipping practices, timelines, and responsibilities. By placing an order, you agree to these terms. Shipping details are provided at checkout, and we reserve the right to update this policy with notice via our website.

Shipping Methods and Costs

  • We ship primarily within the United States using carriers such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx, selected based on order size, weight, and destination.
  • Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the order's weight, dimensions, and delivery address. We do not offer flat-rate shipping unless specified in promotions.
  • Free shipping may be available on orders over a certain threshold (e.g., $50), as indicated during checkout or promotions.
  • Expedited shipping options (e.g., 2-day or overnight) are available at an additional cost.

Processing and Delivery Times

  • Orders are typically processed within 1-3 business days after payment confirmation, excluding weekends and holidays.
  • Standard domestic shipping (within the contiguous U.S.) takes 3-7 business days from the ship date.
  • Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories may take 5-10 business days.
  • We do not guarantee delivery dates, as delays may occur due to weather, carrier issues, or high volume periods. Estimated times are provided at checkout.
  • International shipping is not currently offered. If you are outside the U.S., please contact us for potential arrangements.

Tracking and Confirmation

  • All shipments include a tracking number, sent via email once the order ships.
  • You can track your order through the carrier's website using the provided number.
  • We recommend monitoring your shipment to ensure timely delivery.

Lost, Damaged, or Undelivered Packages

  • If your package is lost or damaged in transit, contact the carrier first with your tracking number to file a claim.
  • For assistance, email us at hello@californiafishplants.com with your order number, tracking details, and photos of any damage. We will work with the carrier on your behalf but are not liable for carrier errors.
  • If a package is returned to us due to an incorrect address provided by you, we will reship at your expense or issue a refund minus original shipping costs.
  • Risk of loss transfers to you once the package is delivered to the carrier.

Address Accuracy and Changes

  • Ensure your shipping address is accurate at checkout. We are not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses provided by you.
  • Address changes after order placement may not be possible; contact us immediately if needed.

Customs, Duties, and Taxes (If Applicable)

  • For any future international shipments, you are responsible for all customs fees, duties, taxes, and import regulations in your country.

Additional Information

  • We comply with California shipping regulations, including accurate disclosure of shipping terms under California Business and Professions Code Section 17538.
  • During peak seasons or events (e.g., holidays), processing and delivery may take longer; we will notify you of any significant delays.
  • This policy does not affect your rights under applicable consumer laws.
