If you are inside our delivery area, local delivery shows up as a shipping option at checkout and we bring the boat to you ourselves. We call ahead to set a meet-up, and since we do the unloading there is nothing for you to inspect or sign at the curb. Otherwise it ships LTL freight with a carrier running a 99.9% damage-free rate. On a freight delivery, look the boat over before you sign the receipt and write down any damage you see. That one step protects your claim. Then email clear photos to \u003ca href=\"mailto:helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com\"\u003ehelpdesk@cfoutdoors.com\u003c\/a\u003e within 2 hours.
