Shipping Times
GOAT is a popular online platform for buying, selling, and trading sneakers. Their shipping policy allows for customers to get their orders in a timely manner, and there are a few different shipping options to choose from.
In this article, we’ll be discussing how long GOAT take to ship, so you know when to expect your package.
Standard Shipping Times
When you purchase a product from GOAT, standard shipping times typically range from 3-9 days to reach its destination. However, delays due to weather, holidays or other factors may affect the expected delivery time of your order.
GOAT offers different delivery options depending on the type of product you purchase and the purchase amount. For example, if you buy a pair of shoes with a total price higher than $50 USD, our standard domestic shipping may be free. In these cases, orders usually arrive within 4-7 days in the US after processing (which is when it leaves our facility and is picked up by USPS).
However, in some cases we may not offer free domestic standard shipping – even with purchases totaling over $50 USD. In these situations customers may be charged for additional fees for a USPS United Priority Mail service, which usually arrives within 1-4 business days after processing and leaving our facility. We also offer other faster shipping methods such as UPS Ground (1-3 business days after processing), UPS 2nd Day Air and UPS Next day air (depending on location). Please note overnight delivery currently is only available in the United States and not available for international shipments at this time.
Furthermore, please keep in mind that if an item has been customized or personalized prior to shipment it’s possible that there are additional processing times which will add onto the shipping time estimate listed above – such as when adding custom tags onto shoes or including gift wrapping with an item. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for understanding!
Expedited Shipping Times
Expedited shipping is a great way to get your items delivered in a timely and efficient manner. Delivery times vary depending on the size and weight of the item, as well as how far it needs to travel. There are several options for expedited shipping depending on the urgency of delivery desired. Common expedited shipping methods include:
- Next-Day Delivery: Depending on distance, some carriers may offer next day delivery service. The item is typically delivered by the end of the next business day after it is shipped, with Saturday delivery available in some areas.
- Two-Day Delivery: Delivery times for two-day delivery range from 2 to 3 business days, with weekend shipments arriving Monday or Tuesday.
- Express Shipping: Three-day express delivery service has guaranteed delivery in 3 business days or less (excluding holidays).
- International Express Shipping: International express shipping offers reliable and secure international deliveries within 2 to 6 days for most major markets and destinations.
At checkout, you can choose from different services based on price and speed, allowing you to meet your timelines with ease and convenience. With expedited shipping, you can select the best option to ensure your items arrive when needed while sticking within budget!
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are probably one of the most important considerations when it comes to purchasing something online. GOAT offers a variety of shipping options, so it’s important to understand how long it takes to get your items and what the associated costs are. Here we’ll cover the different shipping options and how long they take to get to you:
- Standard Shipping – 5-7 business days

Standard Shipping Costs
Standard shipping costs are the most cost-efficient way to send items and are typically calculated based on weight and destination. They also take into account package dimensions. It is important to note that standard shipping costs can vary greatly depending on the item’s weight and size, as well as where it is being shipped to.
Standard shipping costs do not include tracking services or insurance unless these services are specifically requested prior to shipment. Items that are sent with standard shipping options usually have an estimated transit time of two or three days, although delivery dates may vary depending on a number of factors, such as weather delays or holidays.
When calculating standard shipping costs, it is important for customers to understand any additional charges associated with their shipment – such as taxes, fees or surcharges – that may be applicable in certain regions. These additional fees must be considered when deciding which type of service best fits their needs financially.
Expedited Shipping Costs
Expedited shipping is the fastest option available for purchases from GOAT. Choose this option and receive your order within 1-2 business days. Depending on your address and the size of your shipment, expedited shipping may cost more than standard delivery options. To find out the exact cost of expedited shipping, you can select “Expedited” while at the checkout page and view real-time estimates in the shipping calculator below:
For domestic orders, here are approximate fees associated with expedited delivery options:
- FedEx Priority Overnight (1 day): Starts at $50
- FedEx Standard Overnight (2 day): Starts at $30

Please note that late change requests, after 3 PM PST may incur additional charges or be unable to process your request. In addition to this, addresses with P.O. Boxes may require additional time for delivery and unless select otherwise, items shipped via FedEx will not include a signature requirement upon delivery.
Delivery Options
GOAT offers several delivery options to customers, depending on their preferences and needs. Customers can select either standard, two-day, or express delivery for their orders. Depending on the delivery option selected, customers can expect to receive their order in various time frames. Let’s take a look at the specifics of these delivery options:
- Standard Delivery
- Two-Day Delivery
- Express Delivery
In-Store Pickup
In-store pickup is available at many of GOAT’s select retail partners with locations around the world. You can choose this option when you make your purchase, and in most cases, you can pick up your item within an hour or two after placing your order. Make sure to review each store’s specifics when you place your order as times vary from store to store.
It is important to note that not all items are eligible for in-store pickup, so double check the product page before deciding this is the best option for you. Once you place your order, confirm with the partner location(s) about their services and availability before planning on picking up your item there.
Another thing to note: if you choose an in-store pickup option, payment cannot be processed online – you will have to pay in person at the time of pickup with cash or credit card. If we have not receive payment within 3 business days following online orders, they may be canceled without notice and urged customers would have to reorder one they wanted purchase again within a certain amount of time depending on each individual sales policy which can vary from location to location.
Same-Day Delivery
GOAT offers same-day delivery for orders placed within certain geographical areas. Orders placed before the cutoff time given in your location can be delivered on the same day they were ordered. This is a fast and convenient way to get the items you need when you need them. Keep in mind that not all locations support same-day delivery, so please check with your local GOAT store to find out more about this service.
The exact availability and cost of same-day delivery may vary by location. Generally, this service will cost around $14 to $18 depending on where you live and the size/weight of your order. It usually has a larger window of arrival than standard shipping options would provide and is an ideal choice if you are looking for expedited shipping or if you need items quickly for an upcoming event or find yourself with an urgent need for a particular item.

Let’s dive deeper into the details of this policy.

Return & Exchange Policies
Returns and exchanges are a vital part of doing business for any organization. It’s important to establish a thoughtful policy that is both fair to the customer and protects your company’s financial interests. A return and exchange policy should balance the needs of both parties, emphasizing that when customers make purchases with your store they deserve the right to return or exchange the items they purchase if they are no longer satisfied or if the item fails to meet their expectations.
Your return/exchange policy should outline all acceptable reasons for returns and exchanges as applicable, such as dissatisfaction, defect/damage in transit, product mis-shipment, or other factors. It should also detail which products can be returned, identifying any exceptions (e.g., food items or undergarments). Additionally, it should include all deadlines associated with a return/exchange, including time limitations within which refunds may be issued (e.g., 30 days after delivery).
You’ll also want to clearly explain how you expect customers to handle returns by sending back unopened products in their original packaging with their original receipt (or order number), as well as how difficulties due to malfunctioning parts can be addressed at no extra cost to them. Finally, your return & exchange policy should also list all particularities related to specific types of purchases in order to ensure that customers understand what is expected of them when returning certain items (such as mattresses or electronics). By establishing a clear set of policies on returns & exchanges you can help ensure sound customer service while protecting business interests.
