General Policy
Shipping
BigTent Outdoor Equipment Ltd. ships from our warehouses in Canada and the United States, with inbound stock arriving from our brand partners in South Korea. Delivery times, duties, and return procedures vary depending on the shipping origin and destination.
Please review this policy carefully before placing your order.
1. Shipping Schedule & Delivery
1-1. Order Processing
Orders ship Tuesday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. Our team and showroom are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM PT.
You can change or cancel any order for a full refund at any time before it leaves our warehouse — for pickup orders, any time before you collect it. See our Cancel, Return & Exchange Policy.
1-2. In-Stock Items — Estimated Delivery Time
Items on our shelves in Canada or the USA are ready to ship, or to collect, within 1–2 business days. Estimated delivery once they ship:
| Shipping Route | Estimated Delivery Time |
|---|---|
| Canada → Canada | 3–7 business days |
| USA → USA | 3–7 business days |
| Canada → USA | 4–10 business days |
| USA → Canada | 4–10 business days |
Delivery times vary with destination, customs clearance procedures, and carrier performance.
1-3. Reserve Orders & Items Arriving from Korea
Some items aren’t on our shelves yet. We bring them in from our brand partners in South Korea on our own shipments — an ocean container every three weeks and a flight every week. Each product page shows how the item reaches us and the date it will be ready at our warehouse in BC.
| On the product page | What it means | Price | Ready at our BC warehouse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reserve | Your order is reserved on one of our ocean containers — one already on its way, or the next one from Busan if you order by the order-by date shown. | Reserve price, or Early Bird price for a new product — shown on the product page | The date shown on the product page — about 5 weeks after the order-by date |
| Arriving | The container has already reached the Port of Vancouver. | Regular price | Within about a week |
| Express Air | Flown on our weekly air shipment. Offered on eligible items only. | Regular price plus the air charge shown on the product page | 5–12 days after you order |
Once your order is ready, it ships within 1–2 business days and follows the delivery times in section 1-2 — or waits for you at our showroom if you chose pickup.
“Ready” means ready at our warehouse in BC — not the day a ship docks, and not the day your order reaches your door.
Reserve price applies until the container reaches port; from then on the item is sold at the regular price as Arriving. If you have already ordered, you keep the price you paid.
Ready dates are estimates. Weather, port congestion and customs exams can move them — see Customs Exams & Your Order. If your ready date moves, we will email you the new date, and you can keep your order, switch to Express Air where it’s offered (we’ll tell you the price difference first), or cancel for a full refund at any point before it leaves our warehouse.
Orders with items from different shipments. If your order mixes items from our shelf with items arriving from Korea, it usually ships together once everything is ready. If it makes sense to send part of it sooner, you will get a separate shipping confirmation with tracking for each shipment.
If a brand partner’s stock becomes unavailable after your order is placed, your order may be postponed or cancelled — see Section 2 of our Cancel, Return & Exchange Policy.
1-4. International Delivery (Outside Canada and the United States)
Orders shipping to destinations outside Canada and the United States ship from South Korea within 3 business days. At checkout you choose how your order travels; the options available and their estimated delivery times depend on your country.
| Option at checkout | Mode | Estimated Delivery Time (after it ships) | Tracking |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMS Premium | Air | Usually 3–7 days | Full tracking |
| EMS Express | Air | Usually 4–8 days | Full tracking |
| Sea Parcel (some countries only) | Ocean | Usually 1–3 months, occasionally longer | Limited — updates may be days apart |
Please note for international orders:
- These orders are Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU). Customs duties, brokerage or clearance fees, and local taxes are payable by you to your customs office or carrier before final delivery. Sales tax is not collected at checkout.
- Sea Parcel is a surface service. Transit can exceed three months during peak season or when customs clearance is delayed, and long gaps between tracking scans are normal. Please choose this option only if you are comfortable with an extended and variable delivery window.
- Size, weight, and battery or fuel restrictions may make some items ineligible for international shipping.
- Return shipping from outside Canada is at the customer’s expense and can cost significantly more than the original shipping. Please review your order carefully before checkout.
1-5. Tracking & Notifications
Before your order ships: follow items arriving from Korea at tracking.bigtentoutdoors.com. Enter the email address you ordered with, and we will email you a private link to your order’s page.
When it ships: you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your carrier tracking number and an estimated delivery date. If your order ships in more than one shipment, you will receive a confirmation for each.
If your ready date changes before your order ships, we will email you — see section 1-3.
2. Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
Canada & United States Orders (DDP)
All orders shipped to Canada or the United States — including items brought in from South Korea — are processed as Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), meaning applicable import duties are already included in your checkout total and no additional duty payment is required upon delivery. This applies to all items regardless of shipping origin.
Countries Outside North America (DDU)
Orders shipped to destinations outside Canada and the United States are processed as Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), where customers may be required to pay customs duties, brokerage or clearance fees, and local taxes directly to their customs office or carrier before final delivery. BigTent does not control or pre-calculate these fees. Sales tax is not collected at checkout.
3. Shipping Package Protection (OrderProtection™)
We strongly recommend OrderProtection Package Protection for all deliveries.
If OrderProtection Package Protection is deselected at checkout, BigTent Outdoor Equipment Ltd. assumes no liability for packages that are lost, damaged, or stolen.

Any costs associated with re-consignment, holding, or re-delivery are the customer’s responsibility.
7. Taxes by Province/Territory (Canada)

“Delivery date” means the date the carrier records your shipment as delivered, as shown in your tracking history. If your order arrives in more than one parcel, the 15-day window is counted separately for each parcel from its own delivery date. For pickup orders, the delivery date is the day you collect your order.
Requests received after 15 days cannot be processed as a return or refund. Manufacturing defects reported after this window are handled under the manufacturer’s warranty — see our Warranty Policy.
1. Changes & Cancellations Before Your Order Ships
You can change or cancel any order for a full refund at any time before it leaves our warehouse. It doesn’t matter where your item is — on our shelf, in port, on this week’s flight, or on a container still on its way from Korea. We refund the full amount to your original payment method, with no fee. If you chose showroom pickup, the same applies right up until you collect your order.
To cancel or make a change, email support@bigtentoutdoors.com with your order number, reply to any of your order emails, or contact us through Support Chat. If your request reaches us before your order has left our warehouse, we will cancel or change it as you asked. Requests that arrive outside business hours are handled at the start of the next business day.
| Where your order is | Can you cancel? | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Not yet shipped — on our shelf, in port, in the air or at sea (pickup orders: not yet collected) | ✔ Yes | Full refund to your original payment method — no fee |
| Already shipped (or collected) | ✖ No — it becomes a return | See Section 3 |
If part of your order has already shipped, the items that haven’t shipped can still be cancelled the same way.
Changes work the same way — a different size, colour or item, adding to your order, or switching from ocean to Express Air where it’s offered. If a change lowers your total, we refund the difference in full. If it raises your total, we’ll ask you to pay the difference before we confirm. If a change moves your ready date, we’ll tell you the new date first.
Refund timing: refunds go back to your original payment method and may take up to ten (10) business days to appear, depending on your financial institution.
Orders shipped from Korea to countries outside Canada and the United States can be cancelled free of charge until they leave our office in Korea, usually within 3 business days of your order.
Address changes: tell us before your order ships and we’ll update the delivery address. Once you have received a shipping confirmation, we are generally unable to change the delivery address. In some cases you may be able to contact the carrier directly with your tracking number and redirect the parcel to a local pickup point. Any re-consignment, holding, or re-delivery fees charged by the carrier are the customer’s responsibility.
2. Ready Dates, Delays & Supplier Changes
Many items are brought in from our brand partners in South Korea after you order — reserved on one of our ocean containers, flown on our weekly air shipment, or already in port. Each product page shows the date the item will be ready at our warehouse in BC. These dates are estimates based on our shipping calendar and our partners’ schedules. They are not guaranteed dates.
If your ready date moves — because of weather, port congestion, a customs exam or a production delay — we will email you the new date. You can then:
- keep your order — you don’t need to do anything;
- switch to Express Air where it’s offered — we’ll tell you the price difference first; or
- cancel for a full refund, at any point before your order leaves our warehouse.
If a brand partner’s stock becomes unavailable, backordered, or discontinued after your order is placed, we may need to postpone fulfillment or cancel the affected items. We will email you as soon as we confirm the change, and you may choose to wait for the revised date, swap for an available item, or cancel the affected items. If we do not hear back from you within 7 days, we will hold your order and continue to update you.
Cancellations of this type are not customer-initiated. They are refunded in full to your original payment method with no transaction fee deduction, and any shipping charges paid for the affected items are refunded as well.
Your price is set when you order: if a Reserve price ends or a price goes up after you’ve ordered, you keep the price you paid. Container exams by Canadian customs are explained on our Customs Exams & Your Order page.
3. Returns After Delivery (Change of Mind)
Changed your mind after your order has shipped? You can return it within 15 days of delivery. You pay for shipping in both directions, and the refund depends on the item’s condition when it reaches us.
Return Guidelines
- Submit your return request through Support Chat or by email to support@bigtentoutdoors.com within 15 days of the delivery date, with clear photos of the item and its packaging. Please don’t send anything back until we approve your request — returns sent without approval cannot be accepted.
- All returns come back to our Coquitlam, BC warehouse. You can ship the item yourself with a tracked service, or ask us for a return label — its cost is deducted from your refund. Return labels must be used within 7 days of issuance; expired labels may require reissuance at the customer’s expense.
- Collected your order from our showroom? You can bring it back to the showroom during business hours instead — no shipping involved.
- Sale items are final sale and cannot be refunded.
- Returns from outside Canada are subject to international return fees, which can be significantly higher, and may need up to 15 additional business days for processing after they arrive at our warehouse. Please review your order details before completing checkout.
Refund Amount
The refund amount depends on:
1. Product condition upon inspection
| Product Condition | Refundable Amount |
|---|---|
| Brand new / unopened / in perfect condition | 100% |
| Packaging opened or damaged, item unused | 80% |
| Missing internal packaging or protection | 50% |
| Used or damaged product | Not eligible |
2. Shipping — both ways
- Shipping to you: shipping charges you paid, including any Express Air charge, are not refunded. If your order shipped free, we deduct the actual cost we paid to ship the returned item(s) to you.
- Shipping back to us: return shipping is the customer’s cost — whether you send the item yourself or use a return label from us (deducted from your refund).
3. Other non-refundable costs
- Payment transaction fee — 3.5% of the amount refunded to your original payment method. Choose store credit instead and this fee is not deducted.
- Any cross-border duties and fees charged by the government or the carrier (if applicable)
- OrderProtection Package Protection cost
Refunds are based on the price you actually paid, after any discount. Please allow time for our team to inspect the returned product and calculate the final eligible refund amount. Items damaged due to improper packaging during return transit may receive a reduced refund or become ineligible for refund.
Return Procedure
To initiate a return:
-
Submit a Return Request
Contact us through Support Chat or by email within 15 days of the delivery date. Include clear photos of the items and their packaging so we can assess their condition and give you an estimate of your refund, including the shipping costs that will be deducted. -
Wait for Approval
Once your request is reviewed and approved, we will send you return instructions and, if you asked for one, a return label. -
Repack the Item
Carefully repack the item in its original packaging. Make sure all original contents (manuals, accessories, tags) are included. The product must be in new and resalable condition. -
Ship the Package
Use our return label within 7 days of issuance, or ship the item yourself with tracking.
Note: We are not responsible for items lost or damaged during return transit. Please keep your tracking information until the return is complete. -
Inspection & Refund
Once we receive and inspect your return, we will email you the result of our inspection and your final refund amount. Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method, or as store credit if you chose it, and may take up to ten (10) business days to appear, depending on your financial institution. International returns may require additional time due to customs clearance or carrier delays.
Exceptions / Non-Returnable Items
Certain products are not eligible for return due to their nature, condition, or fulfillment method. Items fulfilled internationally, special-order products (items ordered through our Custom Order page), and products with signs of use may be subject to stricter limitations or reduced refundable value.
The following cannot be returned or refunded:
- Items sold as final sale, including sale and clearance prices
- Customized or hygiene-related products
- Requests submitted after the 15-day window from the delivery date
- Items showing signs of use, wear, or damage
- Returns sent without our approval
Items bought at a Reserve price or an Early Bird price are not final sale, and Reserve, Arriving and Express Air items are not special orders — they can be returned under this section like any other item.
Final-sale items can still be reported as damaged or defective under Section 5. Nothing in this policy limits your rights under applicable consumer protection laws.
4. Exchanges After Delivery
To switch to a different product after delivery, return your original item under Section 3 within 15 days of the delivery date and place a new order. The change-of-mind return costs in Section 3 apply. If you are exchanging because an item is damaged or defective, see Section 5 instead.
Exchanges are processed as a return followed by a new order to keep inventory accurate and fulfillment consistent across our shipping locations. See also our Exchange Policy.
5. Damaged or Defective Items
If your item arrives damaged or doesn’t work as it should, email us at support@bigtentoutdoors.com within 15 days of the delivery date with:
- your order number;
- clear photos of the problem, the whole item, and the box it arrived in, including the shipping label;
- a short video if the problem is with how something works — a zipper, pole, valve, burner or hinge, for example.
We review every claim and reply by email. If we accept your claim, we will tell you what happens next — a replacement part, a replacement item, or a refund — and we cover the shipping involved. Refunds for accepted claims are made in full, with no 3.5% fee. If we decline it, we will explain why. Please don’t send anything back until we have accepted your claim. Not sure whether it’s a defect or shipping damage? Email us first and we will point you in the right direction.
Please note the following:
- Defects found after 15 days are handled under the manufacturer’s warranty for the full warranty period. Report them to us the same way, by email; shipping for warranty claims follows our Warranty Policy.
- Transit-related damage (e.g., crushed packaging, broken components) is covered only if you opted in to OrderProtection Package Protection at checkout. If OrderProtection was deselected, Bigtent Outdoor Equipment Ltd. is not liable for issues such as damage, loss, or theft during shipping.
- Transit damage and loss claims are filed with OrderProtection and follow OrderProtection’s own claim deadlines, which may differ from our 15-day window. Please file as soon as you notice an issue.
We strongly encourage reviewing the Shipping Package Protection section of our Shipping Policy before completing your order.

Price Matching & Protection
We want every price you pay at BigTent to feel fair — on the day you buy and in the week after. Most of what we carry comes from our brand partners in Korea on our own shipments, so the price of an item depends on how you buy it. Here is how that works, and how we handle price matching and price changes.
How Our Prices Work
- Regular price — what an item costs when it ships from our shelf in BC (In stock), when its container has already reached the Port of Vancouver (Arriving), or when it is flown in on our weekly air shipment (Express Air, plus the air charge shown on the product page).
- Reserve price — a lower price, usually 10% off, for reserving an item on an ocean container that hasn’t reached port yet. It is lower because you wait for the shipment and we don’t hold the stock in the meantime. When an item sells out on our shelf, the next container usually opens for reservations right away — so the same item can show a Reserve price soon after it was in stock.
- Early Bird price — an introductory price, usually 15% off, on a new product’s first shipment.
Each product page shows which price applies, how the item reaches us, and the date it will be ready at our warehouse in BC.
Price Matching
If you find a lower price for the same product before making your purchase, send us the product page (URL link) through Support Chat or by email to support@bigtentoutdoors.com, and we will try to match it.
- Price matching applies only to Canadian websites.
- The product must be identical and in stock at the other retailer.
- We compare the total cost, including product price and shipping fees, with our regular price.
- Reserve prices, Early Bird prices, and clearance and seasonal sale prices are already reduced, so they can’t be combined with a price match.
- Price matches are not eligible if the price difference is due to variations in shipping methods, import costs, or freight logistics.
It may take a few days for price adjustments to be reflected on Google Shopping.
Price Protection
- If the regular price of an item you bought drops within 7 days of your purchase date, contact us through Support Chat or by email with your original order number.
- We compare like with like: the same item, bought the same way — an in-stock order with the new in-stock price, or a Reserve order with the Reserve price on the same shipment.
- We will create a Store Credit (a coupon code) for the difference in price, excluding taxes and shipping.
- Store Credit cannot be used in combination with other coupon codes.
- Store Credit will expire 60 days after activation.
What isn’t a price drop
- A Reserve price or Early Bird price on a later shipment — for example, when an item sells out on our shelf and the next container opens for reservations at a lower price. That price is for waiting about five weeks for the next container; an in-stock order is for having it now.
- The difference between ways of buying the same item — In stock, Arriving, Express Air, or Reserve.
- Clearance sales, Holiday sales, Black Friday, and Flash sale events such as our Summer sale.
- Discount codes and offers for new subscribers.
- Price changes resulting from adjustments to our shipping structures, shipping methods, or international import logistics.
If a Reserve price ends or a price goes up after you’ve ordered, you keep the price you paid.

BigTent Outdoor Equipment Ltd. ships from our warehouses in Canada and the United States, with inbound stock arriving from our brand partners in South Korea. Delivery times, duties, and return procedures vary depending on the shipping origin and destination.
Please review this policy carefully before placing your order.
1. Shipping Schedule & Delivery
1-1. Order Processing
Orders ship Tuesday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. Our team and showroom are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM PT.
You can change or cancel any order for a full refund at any time before it leaves our warehouse — for pickup orders, any time before you collect it. See our Cancel, Return & Exchange Policy.
1-2. In-Stock Items — Estimated Delivery Time
Items on our shelves in Canada or the USA are ready to ship, or to collect, within 1–2 business days. Estimated delivery once they ship:
| Shipping Route | Estimated Delivery Time |
|---|---|
| Canada → Canada | 3–7 business days |
| USA → USA | 3–7 business days |
| Canada → USA | 4–10 business days |
| USA → Canada | 4–10 business days |
Delivery times vary with destination, customs clearance procedures, and carrier performance.
1-3. Reserve Orders & Items Arriving from Korea
Some items aren’t on our shelves yet. We bring them in from our brand partners in South Korea on our own shipments — an ocean container every three weeks and a flight every week. Each product page shows how the item reaches us and the date it will be ready at our warehouse in BC.
| On the product page | What it means | Price | Ready at our BC warehouse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reserve | Your order is reserved on one of our ocean containers — one already on its way, or the next one from Busan if you order by the order-by date shown. | Reserve price, or Early Bird price for a new product — shown on the product page | The date shown on the product page — about 5 weeks after the order-by date |
| Arriving | The container has already reached the Port of Vancouver. | Regular price | Within about a week |
| Express Air | Flown on our weekly air shipment. Offered on eligible items only. | Regular price plus the air charge shown on the product page | 5–12 days after you order |
Once your order is ready, it ships within 1–2 business days and follows the delivery times in section 1-2 — or waits for you at our showroom if you chose pickup.
“Ready” means ready at our warehouse in BC — not the day a ship docks, and not the day your order reaches your door.
Reserve price applies until the container reaches port; from then on the item is sold at the regular price as Arriving. If you have already ordered, you keep the price you paid.
Ready dates are estimates. Weather, port congestion and customs exams can move them — see Customs Exams & Your Order. If your ready date moves, we will email you the new date, and you can keep your order, switch to Express Air where it’s offered (we’ll tell you the price difference first), or cancel for a full refund at any point before it leaves our warehouse.
Orders with items from different shipments. If your order mixes items from our shelf with items arriving from Korea, it usually ships together once everything is ready. If it makes sense to send part of it sooner, you will get a separate shipping confirmation with tracking for each shipment.
If a brand partner’s stock becomes unavailable after your order is placed, your order may be postponed or cancelled — see Section 2 of our Cancel, Return & Exchange Policy.
1-4. International Delivery (Outside Canada and the United States)
Orders shipping to destinations outside Canada and the United States ship from South Korea within 3 business days. At checkout you choose how your order travels; the options available and their estimated delivery times depend on your country.
| Option at checkout | Mode | Estimated Delivery Time (after it ships) | Tracking |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMS Premium | Air | Usually 3–7 days | Full tracking |
| EMS Express | Air | Usually 4–8 days | Full tracking |
| Sea Parcel (some countries only) | Ocean | Usually 1–3 months, occasionally longer | Limited — updates may be days apart |
Please note for international orders:
- These orders are Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU). Customs duties, brokerage or clearance fees, and local taxes are payable by you to your customs office or carrier before final delivery. Sales tax is not collected at checkout.
- Sea Parcel is a surface service. Transit can exceed three months during peak season or when customs clearance is delayed, and long gaps between tracking scans are normal. Please choose this option only if you are comfortable with an extended and variable delivery window.
- Size, weight, and battery or fuel restrictions may make some items ineligible for international shipping.
- Return shipping from outside Canada is at the customer’s expense and can cost significantly more than the original shipping. Please review your order carefully before checkout.
1-5. Tracking & Notifications
Before your order ships: follow items arriving from Korea at tracking.bigtentoutdoors.com. Enter the email address you ordered with, and we will email you a private link to your order’s page.
When it ships: you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your carrier tracking number and an estimated delivery date. If your order ships in more than one shipment, you will receive a confirmation for each.
If your ready date changes before your order ships, we will email you — see section 1-3.
2. Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
Canada & United States Orders (DDP)
All orders shipped to Canada or the United States — including items brought in from South Korea — are processed as Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), meaning applicable import duties are already included in your checkout total and no additional duty payment is required upon delivery. This applies to all items regardless of shipping origin.
Countries Outside North America (DDU)
Orders shipped to destinations outside Canada and the United States are processed as Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), where customers may be required to pay customs duties, brokerage or clearance fees, and local taxes directly to their customs office or carrier before final delivery. BigTent does not control or pre-calculate these fees. Sales tax is not collected at checkout.
3. Shipping Package Protection (OrderProtection™)
We strongly recommend OrderProtection Package Protection for all deliveries.
If OrderProtection Package Protection is deselected at checkout, BigTent Outdoor Equipment Ltd. assumes no liability for packages that are lost, damaged, or stolen.
For more details on OrderProtection’s coverage and policies, please visit:

Regions with Additional Shipping Fees
Additional fees may apply for remote or hard-to-access regions, such as:

Countries We Cannot Ship To:

5. Address Restrictions
We are unable to ship to certain countries and address formats. Please ensure your address is complete and valid to prevent order delays.
Invalid or Incomplete Addresses:
- Non-English characters (e.g., Korean, Chinese, special symbols)
- Missing or incorrect postal/ZIP codes
- Address lines exceeding the maximum limit of 35 characters
- Unrecognized or unverifiable addresses
- PO Boxes and APO/FPO addresses are not supported for most shipments, including international shipments
6. Address Change After Shipment
Once you have received a shipping confirmation, we are generally unable to change the delivery address. In some cases you may be able to contact the carrier directly with your tracking number and redirect the parcel to a local pickup point. Any costs associated with re-consignment, holding, or re-delivery are the customer’s responsibility.
7. Taxes by Province/Territory (Canada)
BigTent collects applicable taxes based on shipping destination.
| Province/Territory | Tax Type | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| BC | PST + GST | 7% + 5% |
| AB, SK, MB, NT, YT, NU | GST only | 5% |
| ON | HST | 13% |

“Delivery date” means the date the carrier records your shipment as delivered, as shown in your tracking history. If your order arrives in more than one parcel, the 15-day window is counted separately for each parcel from its own delivery date. For pickup orders, the delivery date is the day you collect your order.
Requests received after 15 days cannot be processed as a return or refund. Manufacturing defects reported after this window are handled under the manufacturer’s warranty — see our Warranty Policy.
1. Changes & Cancellations Before Your Order Ships
You can change or cancel any order for a full refund at any time before it leaves our warehouse. It doesn’t matter where your item is — on our shelf, in port, on this week’s flight, or on a container still on its way from Korea. We refund the full amount to your original payment method, with no fee. If you chose showroom pickup, the same applies right up until you collect your order.
To cancel or make a change, email support@bigtentoutdoors.com with your order number, reply to any of your order emails, or contact us through Support Chat. If your request reaches us before your order has left our warehouse, we will cancel or change it as you asked. Requests that arrive outside business hours are handled at the start of the next business day.
| Where your order is | Can you cancel? | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Not yet shipped — on our shelf, in port, in the air or at sea (pickup orders: not yet collected) | ✔ Yes | Full refund to your original payment method — no fee |
| Already shipped (or collected) | ✖ No — it becomes a return | See Section 3 |
If part of your order has already shipped, the items that haven’t shipped can still be cancelled the same way.
Changes work the same way — a different size, colour or item, adding to your order, or switching from ocean to Express Air where it’s offered. If a change lowers your total, we refund the difference in full. If it raises your total, we’ll ask you to pay the difference before we confirm. If a change moves your ready date, we’ll tell you the new date first.
Refund timing: refunds go back to your original payment method and may take up to ten (10) business days to appear, depending on your financial institution.
Orders shipped from Korea to countries outside Canada and the United States can be cancelled free of charge until they leave our office in Korea, usually within 3 business days of your order.
Address changes: tell us before your order ships and we’ll update the delivery address. Once you have received a shipping confirmation, we are generally unable to change the delivery address. In some cases you may be able to contact the carrier directly with your tracking number and redirect the parcel to a local pickup point. Any re-consignment, holding, or re-delivery fees charged by the carrier are the customer’s responsibility.
2. Ready Dates, Delays & Supplier Changes
Many items are brought in from our brand partners in South Korea after you order — reserved on one of our ocean containers, flown on our weekly air shipment, or already in port. Each product page shows the date the item will be ready at our warehouse in BC. These dates are estimates based on our shipping calendar and our partners’ schedules. They are not guaranteed dates.
If your ready date moves — because of weather, port congestion, a customs exam or a production delay — we will email you the new date. You can then:
- keep your order — you don’t need to do anything;
- switch to Express Air where it’s offered — we’ll tell you the price difference first; or
- cancel for a full refund, at any point before your order leaves our warehouse.
If a brand partner’s stock becomes unavailable, backordered, or discontinued after your order is placed, we may need to postpone fulfillment or cancel the affected items. We will email you as soon as we confirm the change, and you may choose to wait for the revised date, swap for an available item, or cancel the affected items. If we do not hear back from you within 7 days, we will hold your order and continue to update you.
Cancellations of this type are not customer-initiated. They are refunded in full to your original payment method with no transaction fee deduction, and any shipping charges paid for the affected items are refunded as well.
Your price is set when you order: if a Reserve price ends or a price goes up after you’ve ordered, you keep the price you paid. Container exams by Canadian customs are explained on our Customs Exams & Your Order page.
3. Returns After Delivery (Change of Mind)
Changed your mind after your order has shipped? You can return it within 15 days of delivery. You pay for shipping in both directions, and the refund depends on the item’s condition when it reaches us.
Return Guidelines
- Submit your return request through Support Chat or by email to support@bigtentoutdoors.com within 15 days of the delivery date, with clear photos of the item and its packaging. Please don’t send anything back until we approve your request — returns sent without approval cannot be accepted.
- All returns come back to our Coquitlam, BC warehouse. You can ship the item yourself with a tracked service, or ask us for a return label — its cost is deducted from your refund. Return labels must be used within 7 days of issuance; expired labels may require reissuance at the customer’s expense.
- Collected your order from our showroom? You can bring it back to the showroom during business hours instead — no shipping involved.
- Sale items are final sale and cannot be refunded.
- Returns from outside Canada are subject to international return fees, which can be significantly higher, and may need up to 15 additional business days for processing after they arrive at our warehouse. Please review your order details before completing checkout.
Refund Amount
The refund amount depends on:
1. Product condition upon inspection
| Product Condition | Refundable Amount |
|---|---|
| Brand new / unopened / in perfect condition | 100% |
| Packaging opened or damaged, item unused | 80% |
| Missing internal packaging or protection | 50% |
| Used or damaged product | Not eligible |
2. Shipping — both ways
- Shipping to you: shipping charges you paid, including any Express Air charge, are not refunded. If your order shipped free, we deduct the actual cost we paid to ship the returned item(s) to you.
- Shipping back to us: return shipping is the customer’s cost — whether you send the item yourself or use a return label from us (deducted from your refund).
3. Other non-refundable costs
- Payment transaction fee — 3.5% of the amount refunded to your original payment method. Choose store credit instead and this fee is not deducted.
- Any cross-border duties and fees charged by the government or the carrier (if applicable)
- OrderProtection Package Protection cost
Refunds are based on the price you actually paid, after any discount. Please allow time for our team to inspect the returned product and calculate the final eligible refund amount. Items damaged due to improper packaging during return transit may receive a reduced refund or become ineligible for refund.
Return Procedure
To initiate a return:
-
Submit a Return Request
Contact us through Support Chat or by email within 15 days of the delivery date. Include clear photos of the items and their packaging so we can assess their condition and give you an estimate of your refund, including the shipping costs that will be deducted. -
Wait for Approval
Once your request is reviewed and approved, we will send you return instructions and, if you asked for one, a return label. -
Repack the Item
Carefully repack the item in its original packaging. Make sure all original contents (manuals, accessories, tags) are included. The product must be in new and resalable condition. -
Ship the Package
Use our return label within 7 days of issuance, or ship the item yourself with tracking.
Note: We are not responsible for items lost or damaged during return transit. Please keep your tracking information until the return is complete. -
Inspection & Refund
Once we receive and inspect your return, we will email you the result of our inspection and your final refund amount. Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method, or as store credit if you chose it, and may take up to ten (10) business days to appear, depending on your financial institution. International returns may require additional time due to customs clearance or carrier delays.
Exceptions / Non-Returnable Items
Certain products are not eligible for return due to their nature, condition, or fulfillment method. Items fulfilled internationally, special-order products (items ordered through our Custom Order page), and products with signs of use may be subject to stricter limitations or reduced refundable value.
The following cannot be returned or refunded:
- Items sold as final sale, including sale and clearance prices
- Customized or hygiene-related products
- Requests submitted after the 15-day window from the delivery date
- Items showing signs of use, wear, or damage
- Returns sent without our approval
Items bought at a Reserve price or an Early Bird price are not final sale, and Reserve, Arriving and Express Air items are not special orders — they can be returned under this section like any other item.
Final-sale items can still be reported as damaged or defective under Section 5. Nothing in this policy limits your rights under applicable consumer protection laws.
4. Exchanges After Delivery
To switch to a different product after delivery, return your original item under Section 3 within 15 days of the delivery date and place a new order. The change-of-mind return costs in Section 3 apply. If you are exchanging because an item is damaged or defective, see Section 5 instead.
Exchanges are processed as a return followed by a new order to keep inventory accurate and fulfillment consistent across our shipping locations. See also our Exchange Policy.
5. Damaged or Defective Items
If your item arrives damaged or doesn’t work as it should, email us at support@bigtentoutdoors.com within 15 days of the delivery date with:
- your order number;
- clear photos of the problem, the whole item, and the box it arrived in, including the shipping label;
- a short video if the problem is with how something works — a zipper, pole, valve, burner or hinge, for example.
We review every claim and reply by email. If we accept your claim, we will tell you what happens next — a replacement part, a replacement item, or a refund — and we cover the shipping involved. Refunds for accepted claims are made in full, with no 3.5% fee. If we decline it, we will explain why. Please don’t send anything back until we have accepted your claim. Not sure whether it’s a defect or shipping damage? Email us first and we will point you in the right direction.
Please note the following:
- Defects found after 15 days are handled under the manufacturer’s warranty for the full warranty period. Report them to us the same way, by email; shipping for warranty claims follows our Warranty Policy.
- Transit-related damage (e.g., crushed packaging, broken components) is covered only if you opted in to OrderProtection Package Protection at checkout. If OrderProtection was deselected, Bigtent Outdoor Equipment Ltd. is not liable for issues such as damage, loss, or theft during shipping.
- Transit damage and loss claims are filed with OrderProtection and follow OrderProtection’s own claim deadlines, which may differ from our 15-day window. Please file as soon as you notice an issue.
We strongly encourage reviewing the Shipping Package Protection section of our Shipping Policy before completing your order.

We want every price you pay at BigTent to feel fair — on the day you buy and in the week after. Most of what we carry comes from our brand partners in Korea on our own shipments, so the price of an item depends on how you buy it. Here is how that works, and how we handle price matching and price changes.
How Our Prices Work
- Regular price — what an item costs when it ships from our shelf in BC (In stock), when its container has already reached the Port of Vancouver (Arriving), or when it is flown in on our weekly air shipment (Express Air, plus the air charge shown on the product page).
- Reserve price — a lower price, usually 10% off, for reserving an item on an ocean container that hasn’t reached port yet. It is lower because you wait for the shipment and we don’t hold the stock in the meantime. When an item sells out on our shelf, the next container usually opens for reservations right away — so the same item can show a Reserve price soon after it was in stock.
- Early Bird price — an introductory price, usually 15% off, on a new product’s first shipment.
Each product page shows which price applies, how the item reaches us, and the date it will be ready at our warehouse in BC.
Price Matching
If you find a lower price for the same product before making your purchase, send us the product page (URL link) through Support Chat or by email to support@bigtentoutdoors.com, and we will try to match it.
- Price matching applies only to Canadian websites.
- The product must be identical and in stock at the other retailer.
- We compare the total cost, including product price and shipping fees, with our regular price.
- Reserve prices, Early Bird prices, and clearance and seasonal sale prices are already reduced, so they can’t be combined with a price match.
- Price matches are not eligible if the price difference is due to variations in shipping methods, import costs, or freight logistics.
It may take a few days for price adjustments to be reflected on Google Shopping.
Price Protection
- If the regular price of an item you bought drops within 7 days of your purchase date, contact us through Support Chat or by email with your original order number.
- We compare like with like: the same item, bought the same way — an in-stock order with the new in-stock price, or a Reserve order with the Reserve price on the same shipment.
- We will create a Store Credit (a coupon code) for the difference in price, excluding taxes and shipping.
- Store Credit cannot be used in combination with other coupon codes.
- Store Credit will expire 60 days after activation.
What isn’t a price drop
- A Reserve price or Early Bird price on a later shipment — for example, when an item sells out on our shelf and the next container opens for reservations at a lower price. That price is for waiting about five weeks for the next container; an in-stock order is for having it now.
- The difference between ways of buying the same item — In stock, Arriving, Express Air, or Reserve.
- Clearance sales, Holiday sales, Black Friday, and Flash sale events such as our Summer sale.
- Discount codes and offers for new subscribers.
- Price changes resulting from adjustments to our shipping structures, shipping methods, or international import logistics.
If a Reserve price ends or a price goes up after you’ve ordered, you keep the price you paid.
