There are two types of estimated delivery dates.
1. Up to the point that your order is fulfilled, we will provide an estimated delivery date range that includes processing and transportation time.
2. Once we have processed your order, you will receive a Shipping Confirmation email that includes a tracking number. Clicking this tracking link will bring up an updated estimated delivery date along with tracking details.

You will receive a date range for each shipping option during checkout prior to completing your order. After the order is placed, it will take 1-3 business days to process the order before you receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number. By clicking this tracking link, you will be provided with an estimated delivery date, along with tracking details. You can also click here to log-in and view your orders.

Shipping charges are determined based on the shipping option you select and the weight of the items in your order. Larger items may require a handling fee.

You will see your estimated shipping, handling, and taxes listed in checkout before you place your order. The amount is not final until your items are shipped. You can get up-to-date order information by clicking here to access your account.

Our carriers may deem a package undeliverable if an address is incorrect, if there is an address or label format issue, or if there have been failed delivery attempts.

Should the carrier return an undeliverable package, you will receive a notification by email and be issued a full refund that includes the shipping charges. Big Lots will not re-ship the order, but you can place another order with the new address if the item(s) are in stock.
