Express Ticket Delivery

You may request that your tickets be delivered by express delivery in certain circumstances for an additional fee. To be eligible for express delivery, you must make your reservations at least four days before travel for US delivery and at least six days before travel for Canadian delivery. This option is available for continental US, Alaska, Hawaii and Canadian addresses only. Delivery to PO boxes is not available. Deliveries are made Monday through Friday only and someone must sign for the delivery.

Special considerations for short-notice travel from unstaffed stations:

  • If you are departing from an unstaffed station and you are purchasing your tickets within 10 days of your departure date, you must select the express delivery option. An express delivery fee applies.
  • If you are departing from an unstaffed station and you are purchasing your tickets within four days of your departure date, please call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245) and speak with a reservations sales agent to determine what alternative ticketing option may be available to you.
