All shipping is insured in case of damage.
Shipping Times: We work to provide fast shipping, however the products we sell are shipped in large, heavy boxes that require manual loading/unloading and take much longer to be shipped out than smaller packages. Most smaller packages can be processed and transferred via conveyor belts in shipping facilities, so they can be shipped faster than the large products that we sell. For this reason, tracking numbers for our products may not update as quickly as other smaller packages. There is no overnight or expedited shipping available.
Shipping Estimates: Most products take anywhere from 1-5 business days to ship out of the warehouse and are estimated for delivery within 5-10 business days once they leave the warehouse, unless they ship via freight. Freight items take anywhere from 5-10 business days to ship out of the warehouse and are estimated for delivery within 10-20 business days once they leave the warehouse. Keep in mind, freight items are only shipped once a week, so it may be several days after the order date for a freight item to be shipped. Again, keep in mind that these are only estimates, and no shipping times/dates are guaranteed.
Shipping & Handling Method: Orders are typically shipped via FedEx Ground or UPS. Some Large/Heavy items are shipped via LTL Freight truck. LTL Freight orders CANNOT be shipped to any Apartments, Condominiums, or Complexes. They also cannot be shipped to any residence that requires delivery to a second floor or higher. In very rare situations, LTL freight orders can incur additional shipping charges in certain areas of the country. BTGC will contact you if there are additional charges to discuss options and billing before the unit is shipped. Most orders will ship out from the West Coast.
Signature Requests: In most cases, if a signature is required for packages upon delivery this is done by the carrier. However, Big Toys will require signatures in some rare cases such as a product being shipped to an area that has had a recent theft. Most of the time signatures are required, but not always. This means in certain areas if the carrier believes the package will be safe, they may leave it on your porch in your absence.
Shipping Damage: Be sure to open and inspect your product for shipping damage immediately once delivered. We must receive photos of shipping damage within THREE days of delivery in order for our suppliers to file a shipping damage claim. If your product does arrive with shipping damage please DO NOT assemble the product until we assess damage photos or it will be considered user damage and also will not be covered. Replacement parts can take 1-2 weeks to be delivered and overnight/expedited shipping is not an option, so for this reason please be sure to assemble the product with plenty of time for a replacement part to be delivered if needed.
Peak Holiday Price Increase: During the peak Christmas holiday season, our shippers (such as FedEx) add a "Peak Holiday Surcharge" and this is reflective in our pricing beginning on October 1st and extending through Dec 31st of each year.
Ordering Multiple Items: Our suppliers may refuse to ship multiple items at one time due to the increased risk of shipping damage. For this reason, we limit orders to 1 item per household. If you are in need of two items, you may place an order for one item first and ensure it arrives without damage, then place a second order after it is delivered.
Larger Priced Products: In some cases with high-ticketed items, a wire transfer may be required for payment.
