Shipping Information
Most items leave our facility within 1-3 business days from when the order is placed. We ship Monday, Wednesday, and Friday excluding US Federal Holidays. All orders placed after noon, CST, will be shipped out the next day that we process and ship orders (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). We ship via UPS Ground, UPS Surepost, USPS Priority Mail International, and USPS Priority Mail. You may select your carrier preference during checkout, or select the Flat Rate option (which is only for the Contiguous U.S) to get the cheapest available. If you choose the Flat Rate option, that means it will be shipped out via UPS Ground, UPS Surepost, or USPS Priority Mail at our discretion.
What is UPS Surepost? UPS Surepost a shipping method provided by UPS working together with USPS. UPS will transport the package for the longest part of its trip to the destination city’s Post Office, then USPS will take it the rest of the way to the shipping address provided. It can take a couple days longer than UPS Ground, but it does save considerably on shipping & handling costs. All orders should arrive within the standard 5-7 business days.
Free shipping: We do offer free shipping for orders over $400. This is only applicable to the Contiguous U.S.
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii: We can only ship to these destinations via USPS Priority Mail. Our system cannot accurately calculate the shipping cost when more than one item is ordered. It is something that we are constantly trying to solve, but in the meantime please feel free to email us a request for a quote. We’re more than happy to assist! Reach out to us at [email protected].
Please be aware that UPS Ground does not deliver to P.O. Boxes.

* Shipping times may vary by your destination. Customers outside the Continental United States should expect longer ship times.
International Shipping
Welcome international customers! We do not require a minimum order for overseas orders. If you do not see your country in the drop-down menu of the shipping calculator located in the cart, that means either we can’t ship there or we haven’t done so before. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] and we will be happy to see if we can ship to you.
Kindly note that the buyer is responsible for any possible additional charges related to customs clearances, fees to collect the item from your local post office, and for being aware of any laws governing the import and possession of machetes in his or her home country. If you choose not to pay the extra fees/duties that occur for you to obtain your order, any monetary losses accumulated against Machete Specialists will be taken out of any anticipated refund. For example: if you fail to pick up your order from the local post office, or refuse the order and it is sent back to us, we will refund you for the cost of the merchandise only, minus any initial and/or accrued shipping fees.
Machetes are classified as agricultural tools in MOST countries and are not subject to any special regulation. Some countries classify the machete as a knife that can be imported, but cannot be brandished or carried in public. A few countries classify the machete as a weapon and restrict its import entirely. Please consult your local laws regarding the ownership, transport, and possession of machetes before placing your order.
Some international orders may be eligible for a cheaper shipping option, USPS First-Class Mail International. Each country has it’s own length and/or weight limits as to what can be shipped via First Class International, so again, we are more than happy to run a quote for you to see if your order is eligible for this shipping method.
