Shipping Times and Signatures
We prioritize getting your gear to you promptly and understand that timing is critical for outdoor adventures. While we work closely with shipping carriers, certain factors are outside our control. Delivery times are not guaranteed. Signatures are required for Kayak Shipments.
Kayak Shipping
Outdoor New England ships kayak's to local ABF Freight Terminals to save time, reduce costs, and minimize the risk of damage. We will find the ABF Terminal closest to your location for pick up. If you prefer home delivery, give us a call and we can arrange it for an additional fee.
In some cases, especially for remote locations, ONE may request additional fees to cover the true shipping cost. We’ll notify you in advance and work to find the most efficient, affordable solution. Occasionally, in this instance, we may also suggest delivery to a nearby freight terminal for pick-up.
You may pick up kayaks directly at our Franklin, New Hampshire Location. Please contact Customer Service to arrange pickup. If you need to change your shipping method after placing your order, email us at info@outdoornewengland.com, and we’ll do our best to assist.
*Important Note for Kayak Orders: *
Upon kayak pickup/delivery, inspect the boat thoroughly before signing the received receipt. This is critical, as signing confirms the condition, and we cannot file damage claims afterward. If you notice any damage, do not sign and contact us immediately.
