Shipping policy

Free Shipping over $89. What’s not to love! We ship out the fastest and most economical route as possible. We typically ship out within 1-2 days after the order during the business week excluding Saturday and Sunday’s. Orders placed on Fridays go out on Monday's.

When placing an order with NORTH RIVER OUTDOORS with your debit or credit cards, We do not charge your card until an order actually ships. We simple do what's called an "authorization hold" on your payment method until an item is ready to be shipped directly to you. An order that is ready within 6 days, we are able to successfully charge your payment card and send your gear out. When an order is greater or equal to 7 days, then your payment method has expired and we'll send you an new invoice to be paid so we can send out your gear.

Please note: If paying with AfterPay or Sizzle, a 3rd party payment vendor, you will be charged immediately and will be asked to pay via 4 easy payments directly with their payment service.

Placing authorization holds for credit and debit card transactions is a smart, safe, and easy way for merchants to protect themselves from fraud, chargebacks, and unnecessary refunds.

An authorization hold is just what it sounds like: a hold put on funds, pending authorization. Sometimes known as card authorizations or pre-authorizations (pre-auths), NORTH RIVER OUTDOORS uses authorization holds to temporarily lock the funds for a particular order, ensuring we actually get paid for purchases made via credit or debit card. The process is easy to understand, but first a little background is needed.

Completing a payment card transaction involves two steps: 1) authorizing the purchase and 2) settling "capturing" the transaction. The authorization process doesn’t transfer funds from the cardholder to the merchant. It’s simply the bank’s way of telling the merchant that the funds for a purchase exist. When a customer pays with a credit or debit card, the merchant contacts the cardholder’s issuing bank and requests an authorization code. The bank’s response to the authorization request will tell the merchant how to proceed
