Shipping Policy & Returns Info

Refused or Returned Orders:
Orders refused or returned DO NOT qualify for FREE shipping and will be charged the full cost of shipping both to and from the customer and any storage fees charged to Coastal Authority by FedEx or any other Carriers. Customer will be refunded the balance between amount paid for the product less all shipping costs and fees.

Address Correction or Other Fees:
At order placement, Customer shall provide Coastal Authority with a valid and accurate FedEx/UPS deliverable shipping address including any apartment, unit or suite number and whether location is a street, avenue, etc. Shipping address must also include the correct zip code. This is very important because FedEx imposes an "Address Correction" fee for each box shipped if the address or zip code is not correct. If the address provided by the customer is not a valid FedEx deliverable address according to FedEx, an "address correction" fee of $15 per box will be charged to the customer's credit card upon notification by FedEx to Coastal Authority. Orders being shipped to a P.O. Box cannot be shipped because of size restrictions.

Shipping Options:
Our standard method is calculated FedEx Ground or UPS anywhere in the Continental USA with an average delivery in 3-5 business days from the shipping date.

• FedEx or UPS Ground - average delivery in 3-4 business days
• Ships Daily Monday - Friday from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
  
• Customers receive notification and tracking number when the order is shipped.

We strive to ship your order the same day it was placed. However, due to order volumes and holidays, we ask that you allow 1-3 business days to process your order. Please email brian.c@coastalauthority.com if you have NOT received your shipping confirmation email (sent to your Customer Account email address).

We do not ship via the United States Postal Service (USPS) unless there is absolutely no other option. Therefore, we do not allow "P.O. Box" shipping addresses for on-line orders. If this is your only option, please contact us directly.

United States Orders

We only ship products within the United States and due to shipping cost from the mainland, we do not ship for free to Puerto Rico, Hawaii or Alaska. 

Military Orders

Due to varied shipping costs and limitations, we cannot process military APO or FPO addresses from our online store. These orders must be shipped via USPS (United States Postal Service) and thus require prior approval. However, in most cases, we can process these orders manually by phone from our main office at 757-831-1612.
