Live Delivery Guarantee Update!

The shipping carriers that we utilize (FedEx, UPS, and USPS) have been unable to guarantee transit times. For this reason, we will be unable to guarantee live delivery on any order that is shipped. If you have any further questions, please contact us before placing your order at 1.800.733.2380. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • Wholesale Bait Company is not responsible for carrier delays or issues. Claims due to carrier errors or delays must be handled directly with the carrier, not Wholesale Bait Company.
  • On all Live Bait shipments requiring more than 2 day ground transit times, we will be unable to offer a Live Delivery Guarantee unless an expedited shipping option is utilized. We will be happy to provide a shipping quote on those orders. If a ground option is chosen, the shipment will be strictly at the customer's risk.
  • There are certain times of the year, particularly June through September when we must suspend our Live Delivery Guarantee due to temperature extremes. You will be notified at the time of order if there are concerns with your order arriving safely!

United Parcel Service delivers your order to your door. If your address contains only a post office box or rural route number be sure to include the name of your street, road or state or county road number. Be sure to make arrangements for receipt of your shipment if you are closed or not at home.
UPS Next Day and 2nd Day Air available for many products to many areas. Please call us for details.

In certain instances, where weather conditions, distance, etc. may make UPS shipping of LIVE BAIT items too risky, we may (at our option) be able to ship your order by PRIORITY MAIL.
