Once your order has been marked as delivered by the carrier, Big Poppa Smokers is not held liable for stolen or missing packages.

Replacements (if approved) will be shipped standard ground delivery. Refunds (if approved) will be issued to original form of payment and will be processed within 5 business days. 

- If our customer service team cannot confirm that your shipment was missing an item, then no store credits, e-gift cards, replacements, or refunds will be issued. Example: the delivered weight on the carrier's proof of delivery matches the weight of the items on the order AND the weight of the package when it left our warehouse.

How do I get free shipping? Is shipping free?

- We offer free standard ground shipping on rub, sauce, and some accessory orders totaling $75 or more within the contiguous United States or weight being 39lb or under.

What happens if my order is damaged?

Damage Claims - Rub, Sauce, Fuel & Accessory Orders: 

- Once your order leaves our warehouse, Big Poppa Smokers is not responsible for any carrier damages. It is the responsibility of the customer to file a damage claim with the carrier (UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc) to recoup the cost of the product. Big Poppa Smokers goes above and beyond to accomodate customers who receive damaged product -  we evaluate each claim on a case-by-case basis. 

- Did one of your bottles break in transit? Email us a photo: [email protected] - you must include your first/last name, order #, and the broken item name + qty to be considered for a claim. We review each claim on a case-by-case basis. If our team determines that you are eligible, we will issue you a store credit or e-gift card for the retail price of the product when you purchased it. 

- Damage claims can only be made within 7 days of your order being delivered. Any damage claims made outside of that timeframe will not be honored. 

- DO NOT sign for your order if the packaging or product is visibly damaged. Refuse delivery and send us an email: [email protected]. Please include your first/last name and order # so we can better assist you. 

- Replacement shipments (if approved) will be shipped out via standard/ground shipping. They will not be expedited. 

 

Damage Claims - Grill & Smoker Orders:

- DO NOT SIGN for your grill, smoker, or product if the packaging or product is visibily damaged and/or that you have confirmed that your grill/smoker is not damaged. If you suspect there is damage, take photos of ALL SIDES + paperwork, write DAMAGE on the paperwork, REFUSE the delivery, and contact us ASAP at [email protected]!

- You should also call the freight carrier directly with your PRO # to report the damage. 

- You MUST inspect your shipment before signing for delivery. If you sign for your smoker "clean" and there is damage after you unpack it, Big Poppa Smokers will not be held liable for any damages and cannot assist you with reimbursement or a damage claim.

- Again, we cannot help you if you sign for your smoker and it is damaged. Yes, you can make the delivery driver wait for a signature until you have fully inspected your grill/smoker to confirm that it is damage free! 

- BPS will need detailed photos of all original packaging and damage before considering replacements and reimbursement. Carriers will not accept any damage claim unless there are photos and the damage is notated on all paperwork at the time of attempted delivery WITHOUT a signature. 

- If you did not follow the steps listed above, Big Poppa Smokers cannot assist you or be held liable for the damaged product.
