SHIPPING INFORMATION
FREE SHIPPING: Base shipping is free to all of the lower 48 United States* on all orders! We use USPS, UPS, and Freight Services for shipping carriers. We choose the most cost-efficient carrier(s) for all orders. *There may be additional fees for shipping to U.S. islands, including but not limited to Nantucket and the Florida Keys.
Regarding shipping to Alaska , Hawaii and Puerto Rico - there are additional charges for shipping to your location. If you are interested in making a purchase, please send an email to team@fringesport.com and we will be happy to hook you up with a sales guru who can not only make you a deal on gear, but also give you a quote for shipping. We always attempt to find the most cost efficient shipping method available, but please note our gear is heavy and shipping will reflect that.
For potential customers from Canada, Mexico and any international customers, we are happy to work with you as well. You are welcome to send an email to salesteam@fringesport.com and your info will be sent to one of our sales gurus. They can give you a quote for gear and a quote for the most cost effective shipping we can find. Again, it must be noted that our gear is both heavy and large, and the shipping costs to your location will reflect this.
We are happy to welcome international folks who want to become a member of the Fringe Fam. Please note, if your country charges duty fees, taxes and import fees, those fees do not come from Fringe Sport. These come from your government and those fees will need to be paid before you are able to receive your gear. If you have questions about those, you will need to check with the delivery location in your country. Fringe is only responsible for charging for the gear and the shipping fees. Any additional charges will be your responsibility to pay upon receipt of the items.
Ground Package Service - Most orders under 500 pounds are shipped via a ground package service, including UPS Ground, USPS First-Class, or USPS Priority. A tracking number(s) is provided via email upon shipment. Some orders may include multiple packages with multiple tracking numbers and sometimes multiple carriers. By default, these packages will be delivered to your doorstep whether or not you are there to sign for them.
Freight Service - Large orders, including those with over 10 kettlebells, bumper plate sets over 500 lbs and combination orders, are shipped via an LTL freight service. A PRO/tracking number will be provided upon shipment. For these shipments, you must be at the delivery address to receive them from the carrier.Upon receipt of your freight order, we ask that you inspect your items.
- Make sure nothing is damaged. Any visible damage to the product should be noted with the freight delivery person.
- Make sure you have received everything that you ordered.
Please note that all freight deliveries are curbside services. Doorstep deliveries (i.e. deliveries down driveways, private roads, etc.) require a "white glove" freight service which is not included in our free shipping. If you would like a white glove service we would be happy to schedule the freight with a special carrier, however the financial responsibility of the shipment cost will rest with you, the customer. ***All special deliveries made in this manner are subject to the driver's discretion and may not be guaranteed if the driver deems the delivery a risk to the truck or trailer.***
Tips For Navigating Freight Service - By default, we ship these with a scheduled appointment; this means that you will be contacted 24 hours in advance to discuss a deliver window (usually 2-4 hours). If you would like to get your delivery a day earlier, you may be able to contact the carrier and remove the appointment. If you call the carrier the morning of the delivery, you may be able to give them your contact information and ask for a call 30 minutes before delivery. Always have your PRO/tracking number handy when contacting the carrier.

We are happy to welcome international folks who want to become a member of the Fringe Fam.
Please note, if your country charges duty fees, taxes and import fees, those fees do not come from Fringe Sport. These come from your government and those fees will need to be paid before you are able to receive your gear. If you have questions about those, you will need to check with the delivery location in your country. Fringe is only responsible for charging for the gear and the shipping fees. Any additional charges will be your responsibility to pay upon receipt of the items. Packing slips for International Shipments cannot be marked as a "gift" or with altered prices.

Hawaii/Alaska Shipping
First the bad news- it is expensive to ship to Hawaii and Alaska! But once again, we want to try to bridge that by pulling custom quotes for every shipment. We check UPS, USPS and Freight carriers to find you the best deal on whatever you need to fill out your gym.
Another option for APO/Hawaii/Alaska/International shipping would be to use a third-party logistics company. We would ship to, who would then ship to your address. That is something you would need to organize between you and the logistics company.
You are welcome to send an email to team@fringesport.com so we can hook you up with a sales guru and they can let you know the gear plus shipping costs to your location!
DAMAGED OR LOST PACKAGES

Shipping:
I only received part of my order? Where is the rest of it?
Bummer! A couple things could be happening here: You ordered big and small items: For smaller items we use USPS and the larger items we use UPS. So if you got your UPS delivery, the USPS delivery is either on the way or sitting in your mailbox
I see you guys are nearby, can I just pick up my order?
I just got a tracking number but it isn't showing me anything. What's wrong?
Take a deep breath and don't panic. In some cases, tracking information can take up to 48 hours to show anything informative. Give it a little time and you should be able to keep an eye on your order. If you have a larger order that requires Freight Service, you will get a separate email with how to track your order and instructions on delivery.
Do you ship internationally?
Do you ship to APO addresses?
Hell yeah. But can you fit a barbell in the APO box? We love to outfit those who serve (and we offer a 5% MIL discount, natch- hit up customer support to get your discount). We also ship to APOs- simply check out on the web or email us at team@fringesport.com for a custom quote. Do note that some of our larger products are INSANE to ship to an APO. But we will always try!
Does Fringe Sport offer Military Discounts?
Yes! We have military discounts! Or, call/text Ryne and he will hook you up!
Fringe Sport's General Attitudes
I heard you guys hate dogs. But really, do you hate dogs? So your attitude towards dogs would not be characterized by one of hate?
