Sam'S Club Free Shipping December 2024

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.

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.
