Holiday Shipping Deadlines

Make sure your gifts and fossils arrive on time this holiday season! We offer shipping via USPS and UPS.

Please Note: When Dave’s Rock Shop covers your shipping (free shipping on orders of $250 or more, we choose the carrier).

Important: UPS only insures fossils up to $1,000. For items valued above that, we recommend USPS or additional insurance options.
