Shipping:

The custom fabrication such as bumpers, etc, will ship via LTL (Less than Truckload) with various trucking companies, so depending on geographical location and shipping destination, the actual cost and time to deliver and carrier will vary. 

  • The product will be packaged as required to assure common carrier acceptance. All claims by the customer for shortages or damage, as a result of transit, are to be made promptly to the trucking company/shipper with a copy to Blue Lake Offroad at time of delivery
  • Since every build is different, we cannot tell you the shipping cost up front until the bumper is built, placed on a pallet, and weighed/measured.  
  • We ship to all US States, Canada, Australia, as well as all countries in Europe, and Central/South America. Hawaii and all International will be quoted with an international carrier.
  • Transit time in USA 48 is usually within 5-10 days delivery travel time, from our location to your destination in most circumstances. This is entirely up to the carrier.
  • For separate accessories items such as lights., winches, etc., these items will typically ship within 1-3 days and delivery transit time is based on ground service times, usually around 2-3 days
  • All shipments from Blue Lake Offroad are F.O.B. and are the property of the customer once it leaves the our dock
  • Shipping Damage in transit:
    • If anything is damaged in shipment it must be reported to the driver at time of delivery and recorded on the shipping paperwork with the driver, that you will need to sign. Take pictures of everythng when it arrives. All shipments are insured, but the carriers will not honor after the fact claims. Please contact us priomptly as well. 
    • Do not refuse the shipment as a representative from the carrier will most likely need to inspect the damage. If it does become necessary to return it, the return shipment will be arranged if Blue Lake has issued an RMA. It is also most helpful if pictures can be taken before the packages are unwrapped
    • Please fully examine your package before signing for it. If you do not report damage to the carrier at the time of delivery, there is usually very little we can do to help you. All shipments are insured by the carrier
    • Be sure to be home when your bumper is delivered if residential delivery is requested. If you suspect there may be hidden damage, make the delivery driver wait and open the package
    • Always take pictures and document with the driver
  • If you request delivery options not originally part of the shipping quote with the trucking company after it ships (examples: residential instead of commercial, lift gate delivery add, appointment delays, inside delivery, etc), there will be an additional charge as determined by the freight carrier that you are responsible for
  • Unless you tell us otherwise, we will re-bill the same credit card you used when you placed the order. Were happy to use a different form of payment if you let us know ahead of time.
