How much does TW add to the cost of a rod for shipping? Is there a surcharge for a 7'3" rod?

I know that orders over $50 are free but not sure on rod purchases..

Nope! Anything is free over 50 bucks

Not to mention it�s also still free shipping on rod returns as well. Hard to beat TW and their customer service.

Thanks guys! Appreciate your info!!

It�s amazing that they ship them for free, some places charge $15 for shipping rods.

Keep the tube. You never know when it'll come in handy!

Until you have 10 if them in your garage...then start putting them out in recycling a few at a time...

Can't beat the $5 2 day shipping on rods.

This is correct.

Anything over $50 is free shipping, BUT you have to pay an additional $5 to ship a rod, and their process for paying the additional $5 is not done until AFTER you have completed your purchase on the website, you have to do a COMPLETELY SEPARATE transaction and pay the $5 in order for the order to go out the next business day! (I love TW, but this is the most confusing process they could come up with) I have voiced my concern on this to them several times. I've ordered probably 10 rods this year from them.

So, I would advise this: Check your order confirmation email, and somewhere hidden at the bottom is ANOTHER link from TW telling you that you have to pay the additional $5, click on the link and pay it. THEN, call TW with your order number, and make them look it up and confirm that it has been paid. THEN, they will put it in the system in real time, and insure that it will ship out that day. TRUST ME, I've been down this road several times.

Hope this helps, and saves you some headache.

One issue I had was that my rod tube was broken in half and the rod was in 3 pieces. Not TW's fault, but I had to wait for a claim to get filed before they would send me a new one. Then I called like a week later and they say. Oh, yes claim was settled so we'll send you a replacement. But why did I have to call them? Once settled they should have emailed me and sent me the rod. Not the service one would expect. All other orders to TW have been flawless though, but they really need to look at their damage claim processes and do a better job. Should not be up to me to get the process handled.

Anything over $50 is FREE Shipping! You only pay $5 00 for 2 Day Shipping ! Otherwise the rod ships FREE with standard delivery!

They also have 10% off for active duty military and veterans. I sent them a copy of DD214 a couple years ago, they give discount after you order and then will send email with reduced price total. Love me some TW!!!

I ordered over night shipping for $10, however sense I ordered more than just a rod I ended up having to pay $20 for shipping because they ship the rods in separate containers. So just expect this if you're ordering more than a rod.

You do realize your doing this for only next day right? The rod over $50 ships free on normal delivery. No extra charge.
