Kayaks require special handling and therefore cost (A LOT) more to ship than most items. We cover most of the freight cost to keep your shipping rate as low as possible (only on qualified items). Kayak and shipping is only to the lower 48 states (sorry, HI & AK).
Kayak orders can take up to 10 business days to be delivered.
Kayak shipping damage
Upon delivery, unwrap your kayak and thoroughly inspect for damage.
If you find major damage; such as holes or deep gouges, have the carrier document in writing a detailed description of the damages before signing anything, take pictures, return damaged kayak to the driver, and contact us immediately.
If you find minor damage; such as minor scratches, dings and dents, note the damage on the Bill of Lading, take pictures and accept the shipment. You can contact us with any questions.
If the product is signed for without damage being reported or if the driver leaves the property without the damage being reported, Nirvana Kayaks won't be able to replace it. You will have to pay return freight charges (which ranges from $185 - $390) in order to get a replacement or accept the kayak as is.
