SHIPPING AND RETURNS

Due to pressures on freight and logistics carriers, some orders are taking 5 to 7 days longer to ship than normal. We appreciate your patience as we all navigate these unique times. If you have a question about why your order has not shipped, feel free to reach out using the chat below.

BetterPatio strives to provide you with an exceptional customer experience.

We understand the importance of your outdoor living, and we're committed to providing you the widest selection of Outdoor Kitchen, Outdoor Patio Furniture, and BBQ Grills and Accessories available.

As soon as you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation e-mail. This means that we have received your order in our system and the credit card charge was processed for the purchase. As soon as we receive your order, we automatically reach out to our suppliers to confirm that it is in stock and available for immediate shipment. More than 90 percent of our active products are tied to our suppliers inventory control systems, so if we say we have the item in stock, then it's most likely ready for fulfillment and shipment.

If your item is on backorder or unavailable, we will reach out to you via e-mail or telephone. If your item(s) are available for immediate shipment (as per the shipping time specified on the product page) we will submit the order for shipment. Our items generally ship within one to three business days on non-customized items. If your item is shipping freight, please allow an additional 1 to 2 days for tracking number to populate in the system.

Please note that we only offer free shipping to shipping locations within the continental United States. For customers outside of the continental United States, we offer free shipping to a freight forwarding port or airport within the geographical continental United States. The customer would be responsible for shipping outside of the continental United States.

Please note that there may be free shipping exceptions if you live in hard-to-reach areas (ex: Nantucket, Massachusetts). We will reach out to you prior to ship to confirm additional charges. We will not charge a restocking fee if this is the case, as we don't think this is right. If you have specific questions about your hard-to-reach area, feel free to reach out to us via chat, phone or email.

Shipping Policy

If your order is in stock and we process the charges to your credit card, it will usually ship within the time frame specified on the product page. We will send you tracking information within 24 hours of your order leaving the warehouse to the e-mail address your provide when checking out. If you do not receive tracking information from us within six business days of your order feel free to follow up with us here or in the chat window below.
Once a shipment is in the hands of the delivery company, we are not able to change shipping addresses. Additionally, we cannot make a delivery happen on a certain day, and we can only approximate delivery times based on what the delivery company makes available to us. We wish we could have more control over shipments.
If an item is shipped and returned because it is not deliverable due to an incorrect address, or the customer is unable to accept the item for any reason, the customer will be responsible for shipping both ways. Orders for larger items that must ship freight require the shipping company to contact the customer prior to delivery. If the product is returned because the freight company could not reach the customer, this will be considered a return, and the order will be subject to our regular return policies.

Freight Shipping

Freight shipping is used only when orders are oversized. The standard freight shipping delivery method is typically called Curbside Delivery. Curbside delivery is the method used on all our freight shipments unless other arrangements are made. The shipment will require a signature at the time of delivery. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, we cannot be held responsible for damages that may occur during delivery.
Your delivery will be made with a full-size Semi-Truck ranging from 20 to 53 feet in length. The truck will not be a box truck like a UPS or FedEx truck. The driver is only obligated to deliver curbside at the end of your driveway.It will be your responsibility to move it from there. In some cases, drivers will deliver up your driveway when possible, but it is up to them to decide. They may help, but are not obligated to assist once the freight is off the truck.If the truck does not have a lift gate, you would be responsible for getting the item off the back of the semi-truck.
The delivery company should give you a call a day or two ahead of time to schedule and confirm the delivery timeframe. If the customer cannot accept delivery within 5 business days of being notified, storage fees may incur and will be payable prior to delivery.
