All our grills and smokers are drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer, and they have varying lead times. You can find the lead time on the product options page or listed on your order confirmation email under the "items" section.  Lead manufacturing times may vary due to factors such as inclement weather, production delays, availability, or the summer/holiday grilling season. We always request grill manufacturers to ship your order as soon as possible, and orders are rarely delayed past the estimated lead time.  If you require your smoker by a specific date, please email us, and our team will respond within 48 business hours to assist you.  If you selected Lift Gate Delivery, it includes liftgate service to remove your grill or smoker from the freight truck. This option is suitable for residential deliveries without loading docks or forklifts. Please note that it does not include unpacking or assembly. If the freight carrier cannot access your driveway, they will deliver to the safest spot nearest to your house on the street. You will be responsible for moving your grill shipment up your driveway. Extra delivery fees may apply for long driveways or private roads.  If you selected Standard Shipping, it is ideal for commercial addresses with a loading dock or forklift available. With this option, the truck will arrive at your delivery address, and you will be responsible for unloading it and moving it to your desired location. Please exercise caution, as these freight trucks can be several feet off the ground, and smoker shipments can weigh 300+ lbs. Big Poppa Smokers will not be held liable for any damages if you choose to offload the truck yourself and damage your smoker in the process. If you request liftgate delivery/removal from the truck, additional charges may apply.  Grill and smoker orders will be shipped via any freight company selected by Big Poppa Smokers, including but not limited to UPS Freight, SAIA, Conway, AAA, FedEx Freight, RoadRunner Transport, etc.
