Shipping Protection with Route
Bigtent Outdoor recommends Route Protection for delivery orders. By deselecting Route package protection, Bigtent Outdoor is not liable for lost, damaged, or stolen items. If customers order for pickup, they should remove Route Protection.
Route offers tracking services and shipping protection extending coverage to online purchases that are lost or damaged in transit, or stolen after the carrier’s proof of delivery where Route traces the transportation. Route App, Inc. (Route) is the named insured on the shipping insurance policy (“Policy”); Safe Order Solutions (“SOS”), Route’s licensed producer entity, procures the Policy from SEG Insurance Ltd. Route, through SOS, may receive compensation for its services and for your participation in Route. With respect to goods purchased on a subscription basis, adding Route to an initial subscription purchase will automatically add Route premium and shipping protection to all subsequent installments of said subscription. View a Policy Summary & Claims Filing Instructions and enjoy the convenience of Route today. Carbon neutral shipping is offered free of charge by Route.
General Shipping
Shipping fees are automatically calculated at the time of order and may vary depending on the type of products ordered, quantity, and destination.
When purchasing alongside items eligible for free shipping, only the shipping fees for those specific items will be charged.
All ordered products must adhere to size and weight requirements set by shipping carriers such as Canada Post, USPS, UPS, and CANPAR (No dimension greater than 2m, weight less than 30kg).
Regions with Additional Shipping Fees: While we strive to maintain uniform shipping fees, some areas may incur extra charges. This is primarily due to factors such as remote locations, limited access, or higher logistic costs. Specifically, in Canada, orders shipped to regions like Yukon, Newfoundland, and certain rural areas are subject to these additional fees. Similarly, in the United States, shipping to Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii may also incur extra charges. We are committed to transparency in our shipping practices. And we will provide detailed information on any additional fees that may apply to your order by email after checkout.

Orders placed before 1PM PST time on business days (Tuesday through Friday) will be shipped the same day. Orders received after the cut off time will be processed on the next business day.
