 Content with PurchaseFeb 13, 2008
By J. Sears
I've read a few of the other reviews regarding shipping problems with this item. It seemed like I might have been taking a risk of having problems myself. After all I'm purchasing a 47 pound item and getting free shipping. I'm sure that Amazon... or whoever the vendor is... wasn't going to absorb the cost of providing a secure crate to ship this item as a freebie option. In some eyes that is fair.
Nevertheless, I took a chance. I got my item in a reasonable amount of time. Yes, I took the freebie shipping option and I got an undamaged product. I can't say that the negative reviewers were over reacting to their problems as I have no difficulty imagining what happened to them.
For sure, I received my product in the same box that one would find on the shelf at a local store. Yes, the cardboard is flimsy. There was no foam, paper or anything to absorb shock from any banging, dropping, etc. It had the plastic strappings (thankfully!!)... but the box surely took a beating somewhere... likely during the shipping process. It held together... barely... but all in all there were no cracks in the iron pot or lid.
I'm happy with the outcome... but I truly think that one is taking a roll of the dice here. I don't know if upgrading the shipping will provide a more secure shipping package or not... but at nearly 50 pounds for the pot... you're going to pay a pretty penny for upgraded shipping. Would be wise to make contact to confirm that you're getting a better shipping package when upgrading... or learn from others' experiences and perhaps you can demand getting better packaging with free shipping.
Depending on how bad you want the item... it might be worth it.

 More about amazon than Bayou ClassicJan 17, 2007
By Rosc
This would be a great product, if you can actually get one UNDAMAGED from Amazon. I received the first pot, with a small crack in the lid, so I requested a replacement from Amazon (Ohh and the first pot had been returned and re-sent to about a half dozen people, as indicated by the half dozen different UPS labels all over the box.. Beware of Amazon resending damaged goods!)
The second pot came in, RUSTED and with a HUGE crack down the entire side. OK, Amazon, get a clue. Obviously the thin cardboard box these 50lb pots come in is NOT enough padding to prevent shipping damage.
You can get these same pots for the same price from Target or Home Depot, so maybe I'll try there since all Amazon would do is refund my money after pot #2 came in damaged..
These pots are not pre-seasoned, which is a bit of a pain (and hence, my 2nd pot came in with lots of rust.)
And, Amazon, re-shipping damaged goods to other people, hoping they won't notice the "small" crack, is really unethical.. Buyer beware of Amazon :< I never realized they would do something like that, and it really dropped my opinion of Amazon.

Great ValueOct 23, 2010
By Rick McKelvey
I got this large dutch oven for a stone soup party we have every year. We make stone soup over a camp fire every fall. In previous years I had used two smaller ones. One large one works so much better for both the effect and for practical reasons.
The pot arrived in great shape. I seasoned it on my gas grill. My only concern is that the lid doesn't fit well with the handle up. When you lift up the handle, it pushes the lid off to the side. The lid could use a bigger lip that fits inside the oven and the handle could be a little wider.
All-in-all I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Do not buy!, September 6, 2007
By Margaret Thomas "tygerkittn" (Norcross, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This arrived shattered into pieces, the box shredded, as has happened to many other reviewers of this brand, and amazon sent a new one out BUT I have to somehow repackage the broken one and send it back. I can barely lift this thing, I don't know of any box that will hold it and it won't get far in the original box, since it's in shreds. I have to print a label and LUG this monster down to the US post office (do they even accept 40-50 lb boxes?) because amazon will charge me for TWO if I don't, because obviously it's my fault they sent it without any packaging around it. I wish I'd never bought this piece of junk.

 20 qt dutch ovenJan 18, 2008
By James Molle
"jimbo5407"
Product looked great. Might have worked, IF IT WERE NOT BROKEN TO BUPKIS when it arrived, both times. Packaging was terrible. As a result, my son was very disappointed that he did not receive his Christmas gift.
