The Outdoor Plus
As an authorized dealer for The Outdoor Plus, we ship every fire pit and fire table through a dedicated freight network built for fast, reliable delivery.

General Shipping Information
Details that apply across every order, regardless of brand.
General Shipping Overview
Every order placed through AlphaCaveHQ is reviewed and processed right away. Once confirmed, it enters our shipping queue according to standard processing times and current stock availability.
Shipping costs, if any, are displayed at checkout or noted on the product page. In some cases, upgraded delivery services like inside placement or white-glove setup are available — contact us to check availability for your product and location.
Freight Delivery and Inspection Requirements
Many larger items — fire pits, patio heaters, and certain appliances — ship via less-than-truckload freight rather than standard parcel carriers. Freight deliveries are typically curbside to the nearest safe and accessible point at the address you provide.
For freight deliveries, the carrier may contact you to schedule a delivery appointment. It's your responsibility to make sure someone is available at the scheduled time to receive and inspect the shipment.
Before signing the delivery receipt or bill of lading, carefully inspect the packaging and visible product for damage. Note any visible damage, shortages, or concerns clearly on the carrier's paperwork at the time of delivery. If damage is severe, you may refuse the delivery — just contact us right away so we can get it resolved with the carrier.
Failure to document visible freight damage at delivery may limit the options available for repair, replacement, or refund.
Processing and Handling Times
Processing and handling times vary by brand and by product. In general, orders are processed on business days once payment is confirmed. In-stock items typically ship sooner, while made-to-order or limited-production items may need additional lead time.
Any processing time shown on a product page or brand section is an estimate only and doesn't guarantee a specific ship date. If there's a significant change to an expected processing time, we'll share updated information as soon as we have it.
Delivery Timeframes and Estimates
Shipping and delivery timeframes on our website, in order confirmations, or from our support team are estimates. Actual delivery times may vary due to carrier capacity, weather, regional logistics, and processing time.
Once an order is in the carrier's possession, transit timing is controlled by the carrier, not by us. We don't guarantee delivery by a specific date and aren't responsible for delays that occur while an order is in transit.
Backorders and Out-of-Stock Items
From time to time, certain items may be on backorder or subject to extended lead times due to high demand or production cycles. If a product you ordered is out of stock or on backorder, we'll notify you as soon as we have an updated timeline and the best available estimate for future availability.
If a delay becomes substantial, you'll have options — keep the order open and wait for the new ship date, switch to an alternative product if one's available, or request a cancellation in line with our policies.
Shipping Locations
Currently, AlphaCaveHQ ships to addresses within the United States. Certain brands or products may be limited to the contiguous United States and may not be available for delivery to remote locations or areas with restricted carrier access.
We don't ship to international addresses, U.S. territories, or military APO/FPO addresses unless specifically stated otherwise on a product page.
Order Changes, Cancellations, and Address Corrections
Requests to change or cancel an order, or update a shipping address, should be submitted as soon as possible after placing your order. Once an order has entered processing or shipped, changes may no longer be possible or may involve additional fees.
It's your responsibility to provide a complete and accurate shipping address and contact information. Additional charges from address corrections, re-delivery, storage, or failed delivery attempts may be passed through to you if assessed by the carrier.
Returns and Refunds for Shipped Orders
Returns, exchanges, and refunds for shipped orders are governed by our separate Returns & Refunds Policy, along with any brand-specific conditions that apply. Certain products — particularly customized, special-order, or freight-delivered items — may be non-returnable or subject to restocking fees, except where otherwise required by law.
Before placing your order, review our Returns & Refunds Policy for full details on eligibility, timeframes, and procedures.
