They issue a return authorization number before anything ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does the Old Town Sportsman PDL 106 ship?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ways. 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. We email the full details once your order is placed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Old Town Canoe \u0026 Kayak","offers":[{"title":"Photic","offer_id":52736677806240,"sku":"01.4072.0101","price":2599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ember","offer_id":52736677839008,"sku":"01.4072.0103","price":2599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/8477\/5584\/files\/Old-Town-Sportsman-PDL-106-Sit-On-Top-Fishing-Pedal-Kayak_3098__69340.1707587731.1280.1280.jpg?v=1756069136","url":"https:\/\/cfoutdoors.com\/products\/old-town-sportsman-pdl-106-fishing-kayak-pedal-kayak","provider":"Caney Fork Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
