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 days for larger items that ship Freight.
Shipping Time 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.

Typically, delivery times are within a 4-hour window Monday – Friday, between 8 am and 5 pm.
Please NOTE: Some areas are not serviced daily and may require additional day(s) for delivery. Please provide up-to-date contact information when placing your order to ensure efficient delivery.
Different Service levels for Freight deliveries:
Threshold Delivery:
Threshold includes interior delivery into the first dry area available. Delivery agents will unload your item(s) and place them in the first dry area available, such as the garage or front entryway. If delivering to an apartment, the carrier will only deliver inside the first floor of the complex.

Please NOTE: The "Ship To" address cannot be altered after the order has been shipped.
What is the Shipping Estimator?
This estimates the shipping costs for all available shipping options before an order is placed.
Please NOTE: This value is an estimate based on current shipping rates and is subject to change.
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.
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 did not request extra delivery services other than what was listed with the item, please contact our Member Services Department at 888-746-7726. The Member Services Department will take your information and inform the SamsClub.com logistics department to investigate and resolve the issue for you.
Please NOTE: Do not pay the carrier/delivery agent any amount, if extra delivery services were not requested/provided.
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 samsbulk@email.wal-mart.com: Email for inquiries regarding bulk orders
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:
- Aerosol products in pressurized spray cans
- Products that contain flammable, volatile or corrosive chemicals
How do I check the status of my order?
After any order is completed, members receive an email confirming the purchase. After the order ships, members will receive a second email with tracking information. You can also find this online at SamsClub.com in your Account Information under Order History.
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 receiving your tracking number, and you are still unable to track the order, please contact our Member Services Department at 888-746-7726. The Member Services Department will take your information for the Sam's Club Logistics Team to investigate and provide valid tracking information.
Why was my order sent in multiple packages when it all could have fit in one box?
Items ordered from SamsClub.com may ship from multiple locations making them unavailable to ship in one box.
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.
Please NOTE: If an order is past the estimated delivery date or tracking shows it as delivered, and you never received the order, please contact Member Services at 888-746-7726.
