Create an account here for free shipping on orders of $99 or more plus other perks!

Christy Sports also offers Next Day service via FEDEX Next Day Saver. Select Next Day during checkout and your order will ship same business day if cleared by 1pm MT. Due to the remote location of some of our shipping points and the current state of the FEDEX network, some Next Day orders may require an extra business day to ship.

  • For orders over $700, the base charge is $75.

Christy Sports makes every effort to ship out orders by the next business day after your order has been confirmed. Often, we are able to ship them out the same day (when cleared before 1pm MT). Orders placed on Friday; Saturday and Sunday will ship no later than Monday (assuming Monday is not a holiday). Throughout the holiday season we will make every effort to honor this commitment and don't anticipate any additional delays.

NOTE: When we find an item in your order that we can't quickly source from one of our warehouses, we work tirelessly to see if we can find that item from one of our stores, while shipping you the rest of your order, before canceling the item we can't fulfill.

Once the order leaves our warehouse, all orders currently ship via FEDEX ground. Orders shipping to CO and UT are generally in transit for no longer than 1-2 business days. Orders to the East and West can take an extra 2-4 business days to arrive at their destination.

Close


How long will it take to get my order?

Once the order leaves our warehouse, the shipping method you chose during checkout will determine the time in transit (until delivery). Transit time varies by the location of the delivery address, but you can generally expect locations further from Colorado to require longer transit times (for Standard Shipping). Orders shipping to CO and UT are generally in transit for no longer than 1-2 business days. Orders to the East and West can take 3-5 business days from date of shipment.
