Shipping Questions 
How long till you ship? 
We typically ship weekday orders out within 1-2 days of the time the order is placed. In the off season or as Winter winds down you can expect board orders to be shipped out within a few days (usually 1-4) after the order is placed. Each board is handmade and requires extra time in the off season.
Boards will depart from from Michigan - Monday through Friday. 
We do not ship on major holidays or when the shipping carriers are closed. Due to recent nationwide delays, order early if your Snurfer boards are gifts. 

How much is shipping if my order does not total $100?

Most standard ground shipping to the contiguous US (lower 48) are only $15. Not valid for oversized items. Shipping rates for many items we sell are size and weight based and calculated by destination. Depending on the size and weight and destination of your order please contact us with your order details if you do not see a shipping quote automatically generated.

I live outside the United States in Alaska or Hawaii, do you ship here and what are the rates? 
We currently ship to US addresses. 
If you are interested in a quote for shipping outside of these areas, please contact us with the delivery address details if you do not receive a quote through the checkout process.

I received a notification that my board was delivered- but it's not here. What do I do now? 
Especially around the holidays carriers may mistakenly scan a package as delivered when it is not really delivered. It may be on the truck for delivery and actually arrive within 24 hours. Please wait at least 24 hours after the first delivered notification to open a case with the carrier. Then you may email us claim/case details including proof of the claim. We will be in touch with you right away. 
Do you send order confirmation and shipping notification emails? 
Yes. You will receive an order confirmation email almost instantly after placing an order. These are automated and should contain your order details. If you did not receive an order confirmation email, please let us know, we can check for a system glitch and manually send you an order confirmation via email. 
Please make sure the email address you entered is spelled correctly during the time of placing the order. 
You will receive a separate shipping confirmation email containing a tracking number after your order has shipped, at the same email address used to place the order.
