Q. What is the total delivery time for my order?

The delivery time for your order is determined by two factors:  Processing and Shipping.

Processing is the time between submitting your order and when the item leaves the warehouse. For most items, processing time is done electronically and usually completed within 1-2 business days for small parcel and 1-7 business days for larger items that ship Freight.

Shipping begins when the item leaves the warehouse to when it arrives at the Member selected delivery destination.

For your protection, some orders may be diverted to our Order Verification Team. As part of this verification, we will notify you via email, usually within 48 business hours to validate your order. Please respond promptly so your order will not be cancelled. Additionally, be sure to provide accurate contact information when placing your order.

The following items typically require extra processing time:

• Specialty furniture
• Jewelry
• Mattresses
• Personalized items such as water bottles.
• Installable items such as hot tubs, vending machines, industrial kitchens, safes, garage doors, and appliances.

If you choose to ship order(s) to an address other than the billing address of your credit card, Sam's Club may contact you to verify the "ship to" address. This may cause a short delay. To expedite order processing, please provide up-to-date contact information when placing your order.

NOTE:  The "ship to" address cannot be altered after the order has been shipped.

Q. What is the Shipping Estimator?

 

This estimates the shipping costs for all available shipping options before an order is placed.

 

NOTE:  This value is an estimate based on current shipping rates and is subject to change. 

 

 

---

 

Q. How are shipping costs determined?

• The shipping cost for most items is based on the item's size, weight, shipping method and delivery address.

• In your shopping cart, we show an estimated shipping cost based on our lowest-price shipping method and presuming that all items in your cart are going to a single address within the contiguous United States.

• If a different shipping method or address outside the Continental United States (AK &/ HI) is selected, the actual shipping cost will most likely be increased.

 

---

 

Q. Why is the delivery agent trying to charge me more for shipping?

This can happen if you paid for one level of service but request another. If you didn't request extra delivery services and the carrier is trying to charge extra, please CHAT with Member Care to report the issue immediately.

NOTE: Do not pay the carrier/delivery agent any amount, if extra delivery services were not requested/provided. 

 

---

Q. Can I receive a reduced shipping rate if I make a large purchase?

In most situations, the answer is no. Members can however, receive a bulk purchase discount for orders that meet certain criteria. Please contact the Sam's Club Bulk Order Team via email for inquiries regarding bulk orders.

Q. What are the shipping regulations for items purchased?
 

Due to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restrictions, we cannot ship items by air (premium or express) that contain regulated or hazardous materials. Restrictions are usually identified on the product page and these items can only be shipped via ground to the 48 contiguous states.

These items typically fall into 2 categories:

1. Aerosol products in pressurized spray cans 

2. Products that contain flammable, volatile or corrosive chemicals

 

---

Q. How do I check the status of my order?


After any order is completed, you will receive an email confirming the purchase. After the order ships, you will receive a second email with tracking information. This information is also available through your online Account Information under Order History.

 

 

 

---

Q. What should I do if the tracking number I receive is not working? 

It can take up to 1-2 business days for the tracking number to be registered/scanned in the carrier's system. This could prevent visibility to your shipment.

If two business days have passed after you receive your tracking email, and you are still unable to track the order, please Chat with Member Care. The Member Care Team can investigate and provide updated tracking information and order status.

Q. What can I do if I never receive my order?

Occasionally, packages are lost in transit, delivered to the wrong address, or arrive in separate packages. Packages may also be left with a family member, neighbor, co-worker, or building manager.

NOTE:  If an order is 3 days past the estimated delivery date or tracking shows it as delivered, and you never received the order, please contact Member Care to check your order status.
