- Payment Terms. Orders & Quotes. Payment terms are within Best Barbeques & Island sole discretion, and unless otherwise agreed upon by Great Lakes Grills payment must be made at the time of purchase. Online payment for Product may be made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover. Phone orders may be placed by either credit card or cashier’s checks only.

Telephone quotes are only valid for a maximum of 14 days, and subject to change based on inventory. Great Lakes Grills is not responsible for pricing, typographical or other errors, in any offer and Great Lakes Grills reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such errors. Any Telephone order that is placed with a request to ship on a specific date of more than 5 days from the date of order will be required to place a 20% nonrefundable deposit on the day the order is placed in order to hold that product for the specified ship date. Online orders are unable to specify a specific ship date.
- Shipping. Shipping and handling charges are an additional charge unless otherwise specifically noted at the time of the sale. All shipping charges are non- refundable. Great Lakes Grills offers three types of shipping options. (1) Will Call at one of our shipping terminals, which is the most cost-effective way to accept delivery. (2) A Commercial business address. All of our carriers are set up for business deliveries, providing you have either a loading dock or forklift to remove the shipment from the truck. Our shipping companies will not unload your product for you. (3) Residential/Lift-Gate delivery to your home address is also an option. The shipping companies will deliver your shipment to your driveway only; they will not bring it into your home or move it to your desired location. This option is the most expensive due to the fact that the carrier must arrange for a specific delivery date and time. We do not guarantee any shipping times; although we will do our best to get the product to you as quickly as possible, sometimes factors occur beyond our control and may affect shipping times. If for any reason you cannot accept delivery of your shipment, after the order has shipped, any and all re-delivery, re-consignment and or storage fees will be the consumer’s responsibility. These fees can be costly, so please be sure you can accept delivery once it reaches its final destination. Orders are not processed or shipped on Saturday, Sunday, or holidays. We cannot guarantee when an order will arrive. Consider any shipping or transit time offered to you by Great Lakes Grills or other parties only as an estimate.

Any and all damage must be noted in writing on the freight bill/delivery receipt. It is the consumer’s responsibility to make sure that no damage has occurred, prior to signing for your shipment. Be sure to verify that you have the correct number of pieces. A packing slip is attached on each shipment and will show the total piece count for the order. Once you sign the delivery receipt, the shipment becomes your property. Upon receipt of your order you must notify Great Lakes Grills of any discrepancies within 24 hours from receipt of the shipment. Failure to do so will hold Great Lakes Grills harmless of any claims.

- Freight products ship on standard pallets. Your item will be shipping on a pallet for several reasons. Most products that ship freight are either too heavy or too large dimensionally for ground shipment. All shipments will require access for a semi-truck and trailer to deliver. If you live in a limited access area or outside of the delivery area, it may be necessary to pick your product up at the nearest freight terminal. We will not be responsible for additional fees or compensate for deliveries in these areas. If this is a concern in your area, your sales representative will be glad to discuss this with the freight company before the item is purchased. After placing your order, the shipping company will contact you to schedule a time to drop off your delivery. For this reason, it’s extremely important to provide your main contact number at the time of check out. For freight shipments going to a residential address, the shipping company will call you the day the freight is delivered at the local terminal to schedule a delivery appointment. All residential freight requires an appointment to be delivered. Oftentimes, the estimated delivery date on the website will be incorrect because of the appointment policy. Do not make arrangements to stay home to accept delivery until the shipping company calls you to set an appointment. Our complimentary lift gate service is available for most of our standard pallet items. This platform is installed at the rear of the truck to expedite the process of unloading your package. The driver will take your delivery off the truck for you, but it is your responsibility to bring it onto your property. Please take a few minutes to examine the exterior of your package for any visible damage. You should unpack your item at the time of delivery in the driver’s presence. In the unlikely instance that you recognize damage, remember to note it on the Proof of Delivery (POD) slip that you’ll receive from the driver. Take photos of the noted damage and email them to us at orders@greatlakesgrills.ecomlifestyles.com In most cases it is in everyone’s best interest to refuse delivery of the product if damage of any kind is noted. If you choose to accept the freight, you will be responsible for filing any claims with the freight company for damage reimbursement. We will not be responsible for damaged items that are not noted on the POD. By signing the proof of delivery, you accept ownership of the property in its current condition. *Freight Policy Only Applies Continental US
- If you schedule a delivery date and time with the freight company and miss your appointment you may be subject to a second delivery charge. This will apply if the freight company charges for a second delivery due to receiving party not being at the delivery location to sign for the package on agreed date and time.
- Extended freight storage policy – once the package arrives at the nearest freight terminal, you will have a 5 business day window to schedule the delivery. If you are not able to schedule within that time frame, there may be additional storage fees charged. We are more than happy to hold the shipment at our personal warehouse for up to 30 days if you are not able to receive the package within that time frame of it landing at the terminal. Once the shipment leaves our warehouse it could be subject to the freight company additional storage fees.
- If your order has shipped from our warehouse and you then cancel your order, you may be subject to a return shipping fee to get the delivery rerouted back. This is on a case- by-case basis and will be reviewed before deciding if the cancellation return freight fee will be applied.
