Shipping Policy
Last updated: October 22, 2026
Fishing rods are long, fragile, and costly to ship safely, so BC Rods doesn't normally ship orders. Rods are handed over in person, by pickup or drop-off.
Local Pickup and Drop-Off
We offer pickup and arranged drop-off in Delaware and the nearby Tri-State area (Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania). After your payment goes through, we'll call or email you to set a time and place. We share the exact pickup location privately after you buy.
Choose pickup or drop-off at checkout and double-check your phone number and email. If you haven't heard from us, please contact us. We set up each hand-off individually.
Shipping and Delivery by Request
Shipping or delivery is possible only in rare cases and only if we agree to it first. If you need your rod delivered, contact us before you buy. If we agree, we'll confirm the carrier, timing, insurance, and cost in writing before you pay. Shipping is quoted separately and is not added at checkout.
Custom, Repair, and Refurbishing Work
Finished custom builds, repairs, and refurbished rods are returned to you by pickup or drop-off unless we agree otherwise in writing. Timelines are estimates and are confirmed when we accept your order.
Risk of Loss and Transit Damage
For pickup and drop-off, the rod is your responsibility once it is handed to you. For any shipment we agree to, we'll confirm the packaging, carrier, and insurance in advance. If a rod arrives damaged, contact us right away with photos of the rod, the packaging, and the damage. We'll work out a repair, rebuild, replacement, or carrier claim based on what happened.
