**** More about our Guaranteed to Arrive Before Christmas, if your product doesn’t arrive before Christmas (Dec 24th or before) and meets the above cut off dates, Survival Frog will issue a gift card in the amount of your order – maximum of $100 gift card. Your initial order will still arrive, so the gift card is our way of saying sorry. If your order is over $100, the gift card amount will not be above $100. We realize there is room for abuse with such a generous guarantee… so we reserve the right to modify this guarantee based on individual situations.  

Please understand with our guarantee, that even if the shipping company is at fault, we will still send you the gift card. Survival Frog will lose money by issuing the gift cards, but realizes how important it is to get your Christmas gifts on time. We are hoping this will bring you back for future purchases for years to come. :)

Shipping Delays

Most products ship within 1-3 days of placing an order. However, some products have “Shipping Delays”, which are clearly marked on the product page in red text. While this is only an estimate, we try and be conservative with the worst case delay. We allow products (usually food) to be sold with “shipping delays” when the product already has an estimated arrival date to our warehouse. With any food, water or PPE products you can cancel your order anytime before it ships from our warehouse to you. Each week you will receive an email from us with updated shipping estimates, and of course you can call us anytime with questions. While a shipping delay is not ideal, you will be able to hold your place in line and be assured that we will get you the product as soon as we can.

Shipping Carrier Delays

USPS First Class & Priority Mail is not a guaranteed date-specific delivery service. Since most First Class & Priority Mail packages are delivered within 1-3 business days, the USPS has added estimated delivery dates on the shipping label to help communication between the shipper and the package recipient. For Free Shipping options, the average delivery time is between 3-5 business days, but when carriers are experiencing significant increases the delivery estimate may increase. To find out the estimated delivery date for your order, we recommend using the tracking ID number provided and checking the shipping carrier's website.

International Shipping Areas

Currently, Survival Frog only ships directly to the USA and Canada. We do not ship to Europe. If shipping fees to Canada appear to be too expensive, call customer support to double check the pricing.

International Shipping Disclaimer

You, the buyer, are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges, etc. required by your country for importing consumer goods. We do not collect this beforehand, and cannot give you an estimate of the cost - charges vary around the world. As an international consumer, please do your research to ensure there are no surprise charges when clearing your package through customs, and to have an idea of what the additional cost may be. If you are unfamiliar with customs fees and charges, please speak to your local postal or customs office for more information. Your full responsibility is to verify the customs, duties charges, and procedures in your country before placing your order. If customs fees and charges are refused at the time of delivery, your order will be returned and you will not receive a refund for shipment costs.

Special Order Items

If you see this message on a product page, "SPECIAL ORDER ITEM", this means that we will ship the product directly from the manufacturer and we cannot upgrade your shipping. Please allow extra time for shipping and handling. This applies when your product needs to be custom made, or the item is large and/or heavy. We estimate you should plan for up to 6 weeks for special order items to arrive, although often they arrive much sooner. Questions?

Once shipped, the length of time it takes for your order to arrive will depend on the origin(s) of the shipment and the shipping method selected.
