Disc Nation is one of the largest and most reputable disc golf retailers in the world. We have built our reputation by shipping over 97% of the orders we’ve received over the past 5 years no later than the next business day, and by sending customers only what they order. To make things better, we now automatically ship your order on the same business day if you place the order by noon EST with either the default shipping method or any other UPS shipping method. In fact, we were the first and still one of the only disc golf supply company that shows you all of the products and product options that are currently IN STOCK and ready to ship to you.

Order Exception Handling — Products

We strive for excellence in order fulfillment, but occasionally experience problems due to the complexities of managing our inventory this closely. In the event that something you ordered may not be available, here is how we will handle it:

Golf Discs:

  • If we do not have a disc in the weight or color ordered , then we will contact you to review options. We will not substitute a different weight without asking you first.

Ultimate Discs:

  • If we do not have the color you ordered, then we will contact you to review options. We will not substitute a different color Ultimate disc without asking you first.

Disc Bags:

  • If we do not have the bag color you ordered, then we will contact you to review options. We will not substitute a different color bag without asking you first.

Disc Baskets:

  • If we do not have the basket in the color you ordered (i.e. for the Skillshot, etc.), then we will contact you to review options. We will not substitute a different color basket without asking you first.

Clothing:

  • If we do not have the size and color you ordered, then we will contact you to review options. We will not substitute a different size or color shirt, hat, etc. without asking you first.

If you are concerned in any way about how your order will be filled, then please ADD A NOTE TO YOUR ORDER AT CHECKOUT. We read every note and put your note on the receipt with our response to show you that we read it.


Order Exception Handling — Addresses

Providing us with your correct name, address, city, state, zip code AND phone number is VERY IMPORTANT. Selecting the proper method of delivery for your address is also VERY IMPORTANT. UPS Ground is our standard flat-rate shipping option. However, UPS does not deliver to PO Box or General Delivery addresses. It is YOUR responsibility to select the proper method of shipping for your address. If you provide a PO Box address and select any UPS delivery method, then YOUR ORDER WILL BE DELAYED, and we will not honor our next business day shipping guarantee.

In the event that we need to contact you about your order, we will contact you first via e-mail, then via phone if no response is received within 24 hours to discuss other alternatives with you. Please note that in these rare instances where we must contact you prior to shipping your order, that our ability to promptly contact you may impact our ability to ship your order the same or next business day.


Standard Shipping (Contiguous US States)

Standard shipping is the most economical way for you to receive your order. By selecting "Standard Shipping" at checkout, you are saving shipping charges because it allows us to send your order at the lowest cost to us. About half of "Standard shipping" orders are shipped through the US Mail and half through UPS Ground. The rules and rates for each carrier vary greatly by delivery address and the delivery timeframes are similar to most locations, so by allowing us to choose the exact delivery method, it enables us to pass along the savings to you. Standard shipping on one-disc orders is a flat-rate of $3.00, and standard shipping on orders of more than one-disc is $5.99. Please note: Standard Shipping is not available on Basket orders as baskets must be shipped via UPS Ground.

Customers requiring a guaranteed delivery timeframe must select a UPS shipping method.

$8.99 Flat-Rate UPS Ground Shipping (Continental US)

Disc Nation is currently providing UPS Ground shipping on most orders for $8.99 with no minimum purchase to the Contiguous 48 US States. Our $8.99 UPS shipping includes insurance on the value of your shipment without any additional cost to the customer. The following rules apply:

  • Customer must select UPS Ground Shipping option at checkout.
  • According to UPS, you will receive your package in 2-6 business days using ground shipping.
  • Only for shipments within the continental US (other areas will see shipping options and quotes based on ship-to location)
  • Only for ground shipping (Expedited shipping quotes appear in the shopping cart for faster methods of delivery).
  • Offer not good for Shipments to PO Box Addresses.
  • Offer not good for orders of full-sized baskets or targets (see $25.99 offer below).
  • Other rules and restrictions may apply.
  • All paid orders to the continental US received by 12:00 PM EST are guaranteed to ship the same business day, orders received after this time are guaranteed to leave our facility next business day (does not include baskets — Please see below)!

UPS Ground Deliveries to Home and Business addresses are sent NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED. This means that UPS may leave the package at your door, or in a convenient location if no one is present to receive the shipment. If you require a signature, then you must select the corresponding delivery method with the words "Signature Required", at an additional cost, as UPS charges extra for this level of service.

Ground Shipping on Baskets (Continental US)

Disc Golf Baskets are shipped through UPS Ground. The shipping price for orders containing a disc golf basket are based on the basket ordered. Each basket carries a per unit shipping cost, meaning that you will be charged the defined shipping cost for each item purchased, not a flat-rate for the order.

Shipping Costs By Basket Model

  • Skillshot - $29.99
  • Mach Lite - $29.99
  • Disc Nation Liberty - Not Available
  • Disc Nation Freedom - Not Available
  • Chainmaster - Not Available
  • DISCatcher Sport - Not Available
  • DISCatcher Traveler - Not Available
  • M-14 - $37.99
  • Chainstar - Not Available
  • DISCatcher Pro - Not Available
  • Mach II New - Not Available
  • Mach III - Not Available
  • Mach V - Not Available

The prices listed above are a per basket charge, so an order with a Skillshot and a Disc Nation Liberty would have $69.98 in shipping ($29.99 + $39.99). n This shipping charge then covers any other non-basket items on the order. So, an order with one (1) Disc Nation Freedom basket, 5 discs and a bag would have a total shipping charge of $39.99. Please note that baskets that are drop-shipped are shipped via UPS Ground. If the order contains other items that ship from our facility, then these items will be shipped according to our "Standard Shipping" policy.

Additional Basket Shipping Notes:

  • Customer must select UPS Ground Shipping to Home or Business option at checkout.
  • Many targets are shipped directly to you from the manufacturer. Please allow extra time for shipping
  • Only for shipments within the continental US (Contact us for all other quotes)
  • Only for ground shipping (contact us if interested in faster shipping).
  • Offer not good for Shipments to PO Box Addresses.
  • Other rules and restrictions may apply.

Please note that some baskets are shipped directly from the manufacturer. In these instances, we cannot guarantee that the basket will be shipped within one business day. Further, the manufacturers are often slow in providing us with shipment tracking numbers. Your on-line order will be marked with the tracking number of “will ship from manufacturer” until we receive tracking information from the manufacturer.


Drop Shipment Policies

If you have added a drop ship item to your cart, the item will be shipped via our standard drop ship shipping. Regardless of the shipping method selected, the drop ship items will be shipped via USPS, UPS, FEDEX or DHL at the discretion of the manufacturer. We recommend you do not select an expedited shipping method as some of the manufacturers do not offer this level of service. If you have selected other items, they will ship for free via USPS or UPS. If you would like to select specific shipping for the additional items, please place a second order and select your preferred shipping method.

Expedited Shipping (Continental US)

Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii

Orders shipped to Alaska and Hawaii are eligible for flat-rate shipping of $5.10 for single-disc orders or $19.99 for larger orders. To these states, your order will be shipped via US mail and you may not receive a tracking number. Orders shipping to Alaska and Hawaii via flat-rate shipping are not eligible for our order shipping timeframe guarantee. If you are placing a time-sensitive order to these states, then you must select a UPS Expedited shipping method (UPS 2-day for example).

We DO NOT ship baskets to Alaska or Hawaii.

All bag orders will need to call 512-828-7414 to receive a quoted price for shipping.


Canadian & International Orders

At this time we do not offer shipping to Canada or to any country other than the United States.


Package Tracking and Undelivered Shipments

When your order is shipped (generally within 1 business day), we will complete your order in our system and you will receive an automated e-mail with your package tracking information. This automated e-mail will be from "customerservice@discnation.com". You can also find this information on this web site by logging in with your user ID/password and clicking on the Order History Link. It is YOUR responsibility to track your package and plan for its arrival. If your order does not arrive, then we adhere to the following process.

If your package was shipped via US Postal Service:

First, we will track your package to determine its status. If the Postal Service states that the package has not been delivered, we will contact the Postal Service to determine its true status or advise you to contact your local post office to provide additional information. If the Postal Service is unable to deliver your package because the address you provided is incorrect or incomplete, the package will be returned to us within 3 weeks. If after 2 -3 weeks (contiguous US states), the package has still not been delivered or returned to us, we can assume the Postal Service has lost your package. We will then issue a gift certificate in the amount of the entire order. If the Postal Service states that the package has been delivered, we will assume the package has been delivered and will not reship your order or issue a gift certificate. In these instances, your package has essentially been stolen or is otherwise missing, and we recommend you follow-up with the carrier and your local authorities.

If your package was shipped via UPS:

First, we will track your package to determine its status. If UPS states that the package has not been delivered, we will either contact UPS to determine its true status, or advise you to contact them to provide additional information. Sometimes it is clear that they need additional information on your location to complete delivery. If UPS indicates that the order has been successfully delivered, then we will initiate a trace of the delivery. A trace sends the driver out to the delivery location to verify the address where the package was left. A trace takes 8 business days to complete. About 50% of the time a problem is discovered that results in correct delivery of the original shipment.

If the address you provided is not correct or incomplete, you will be responsible for a $15 UPS address change fee. If the package is returned to us, once we receive the package we will issue a gift certificate in the amount of your order less the total shipping fees and any restocking fees.

Once a trace is complete, either the original shipment will have been delivered to you, or it will be declared lost or damaged by the carrier. If the shipment is lost or damaged, we will file a claim and re-ship your order at no cost to you or if the items are no longer available, refund your money. If the shipment is determined to have been correctly delivered to the address by the carrier, then we will do the following based on the shipping method you selected:

    • No Signature Requested (our default shipping method) - If you did not add a note to your order requesting signature, then we cannot reship your order. In these instances, your package has essentially been stolen or is otherwise missing, and we recommend you follow-up with the carrier and your local authorities.

 

  • Signature Requested - If you requested that signature be required upon delivery of your package (read shipping methods above for instructions), then we will file a claim and re-ship your order at no cost to you once we have received verification of the shipment status from the carrier.

The vast majority of our shipments arrive at the destination without any incident. We ship tens of thousands of orders each year and have very few problems with deliveries. We are spelling out these policies to make our customers aware of our process for handling delivery disputes. This policy is required because of experiences we have had with customers who live in high risk areas, but do not take the proper steps to ensure the safe receipt of their order.

UPS Address Change request

If the package is not on the truck for delivery, UPS may be able to change the delivery address. UPS charges $15 for each address change. If you would like to request an address change, contact us during customer service hours to provide us a credit card payment and corrected shipping address. Due to the charges that UPS imposes for address changes, no changes can be made without customer payment.


A Note About Plastic Imperfections

The nature of injection molding and stamping is such that nearly all manufacturers are subject to occasional material and molding imperfections. Every manufacturer has quality standards in place that allow for some level of cosmetic inconsistency that does not affect the actual disc performance. These may include small air bubbles, color striations, molding artifacts and debris.

Please be aware that every disc we sell is considered first quality by its manufacturer, unless otherwise noted. Factory 2nd items are named and described as such. If you feel that an item you received is not to your liking, please read below for our Return policy.


Returns

You can return any item that is in new condition within 60 days of purchase. Simply send it back to us along with a copy of your receipt. Once we receive the items, we will issue a gift certificate for the cost of each item returned. If you request a refund to your credit card in writing, we will refund your card for the cost of each item returned less a 10% restocking fee.:

Disc Nation
Attn: Merchandise Returns
2110 W Slaughter Ln Ste 174, Austin, Texas, 78748


Please Note: If we sent the correct item with your original shipment, then you will be responsible for the costs of shipping the return to us.

Please Also Note: If you return a used item, then you will receive NO credit.
