All questions regarding shipping will be answered via email at info@parkersbbq.com. A representative will respond within 48 business hours.

Our BBQ and sides are shipped frozen, and all of our packages are shipped on dry ice in Styrofoam coolers. We ensure there is an ample amount of dry ice so that our BBQ and sides stays intact during transit.

All of our meat products are vacuumed sealed. However, our sides are either vacuumed sealed or containerized in an FDA grade clear bag. Upon arrival, all products should be immediately put into the freezer or refrigerator. Packages may arrive partially thawed; however, it should be cool to the touch.

All mail orders ship Via FedEx or UPS, depending on shipping address location. We ship Monday – Wednesday. Orders placed by 10 AM EST Monday through Wednesday will ship out same day. Orders placed after 10AM EST will be shipped out the next day. We do not ship over the weekend due to dry ice losing its effectiveness over long periods of time. Orders placed after 10 AM Wednesday will be sent out the following Monday. This schedule may vary around holidays. A disclaimer will be displayed on product pages if there is an alteration.

Transit times can be between 1-3 days. Packages in NC, SC, VA, and MD can be expected to arrive the day after they are shipped. All other states can expect a 2-3-day transit time from the date of shipment. All orders on the West Coast are expressed shipped to ensure they are delivered within the 3-day time frame.

No, We Cannot ship to P.O. Boxes due to the nature of the packages. If you provide a P.O. Box address, your order will remain on hold until a sufficient address is provided.

There is no way for us to know an exact delivery time for your package. FedEx delivers between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. It is important to monitor your package if it is the expected day of arrival. FedEx’s policy is to leave packages at the front door without ringing the doorbell! We are not responsible for packages that are left at the door for an extended period of time.

You can specify if you would like your package to ship at a later date while on the shopping cart page.
