Shipping and Delivery

Smokies Life online orders are processed Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. Customer service hours are from Monday through Friday from 9 am – 4 pm EST. Orders are shipped via USPS and UPS, depending on the size and weight of the package.

Most orders are processed and shipped within 1-3 business days, depending on product availability. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email confirmation of your purchase along with the order tracking number. 

The shipping cost is based on the distance and method of shipping. Please select the option that best suits your delivery needs during checkout.

If you place an order after 2 pm Friday, or through the weekend, your order will not ship until the following Monday. The Smokies Life warehouse is closed on the weekends.

We do not currently ship outside the USA. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Packaging Materials

Smokies Life is dedicated to sustainable practices for our retail operations. Reducing, reusing and recycling packing materials is our goal, along with providing security and protection for shipments.

Webstore orders generally ship in recyclable poly/bubble mailers made from recycled material or new and reused cardboard boxes. Packing materials for shipments include recyclable/biodegradable new or reused materials. We purchase fully biodegradable packing peanuts and reuse Styrofoam packing peanuts.

Special Shipping Promotions

Any special shipping promotions are designated for one shipping address per order. We are not able to ship to multiple locations for free.

Exchanges of purchased items or a refund for a returned item are accepted on a case-by-case basis within 30 days of purchase.
