Damage Claims - Rub, Sauce, & Accessory Orders:

While Big Poppa Smokers goes above and beyond to accommodate customers who receive damaged products, we cannot be held responsible for carrier damages once the order leaves our warehouse. In such cases, it is the customer's responsibility to file a damage claim.

To file a damage claim, email us a photo at customerservice@bigpoppasmokers.com, including your first/last name, order number, and the broken item name + quantity. Our team will evaluate each claim on a case-by-case basis. If eligible, we will issue you a store credit or e-gift card for the retail price of the product when you purchased it.

Please note that damage claims must be made within 5 days of order delivery, and if the packaging or product is visibly damaged, do not sign for the order. Instead, refuse delivery and email us with your first/last name and order number for assistance.

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

Damage Claims - Grill & Smoker Orders:

For grill and smoker orders, it is essential not to sign for the delivery if the packaging or product is visibly damaged. Instead, take photos of ALL SIDES + paperwork, write "DAMAGE" on the paperwork, refuse the delivery, and contact us immediately.

You must inspect your shipment before signing for delivery. If you sign for your smoker "clean" and discover damage after unpacking, Big Poppa Smokers cannot be held liable, and we cannot assist with reimbursement or a damage claim.

Please provide detailed photos of all original packaging and damage before considering replacements and reimbursement. Carriers will not accept any damage claim without photos and damage notations on all paperwork at the time of attempted delivery without a signature.

Once your order leaves our warehouse, tracking information will be emailed to you. Please track your order closely to ensure you are available when it arrives. Once the carrier marks your order as delivered, Big Poppa Smokers is not liable for stolen or missing packages. We review missing item claims on a case-by-case basis.

The customer is responsible for filing a missing package claim with the carrier. We will assist in filing a missing package claim with the carrier only if the carrier requires the shipper to file the claim. If the claim is approved by the carrier, we will issue you a store credit or e-gift card for the retail price of the product at the time of purchase. If you suspect a missing item, please email us immediately. 

* If you are missing an item in your order, send an email to customerservice@bigpoppasmokers.com with your name, order number, and a photo of your packing list found inside the box. Missing package or item claims must be made within 5 days of your order delivery. Once our customer service team confirms the missing item(s), we will issue a store credit or e-gift card. Replacements, if approved, will be shipped via standard ground delivery, and refunds, if approved, will be issued to the original form of payment within 5 business days.


Once our customer service team confirms that the item(s) is missing from your package, we will issue a store credit or e-gift card. Approved replacements will be shipped via standard ground delivery, and approved refunds will be issued to the original form of payment within 5-7 business days.
