- If you need EXPRESS shipping options, please make sure to select the appropriate shipping option during the checkout . Requests for expedited shipping will be handled usually within the next business day.
- If you live in a high risk area, you may wish to request “SIGNATURE REQUESTED” service to ensure your package is delivered safely. You can put this in the notes section. If you don’t specify the “SIGNATURE REQUESTED,” we will, and the carrier will, assume it’s safe to leave your package in the usual delivery for your home, apartment, or condo. Once your package has been shown as delivered by the carrier to your door, we cannot accept further responsibility. If you need anything special for shipping requirements or have notes on where to put the package, please let us know in the NOTES section during checkout, and we’ll be sure to include them on your shipping label for the carrier! We do read them.
- Standard delivery charges apply to continental United States only. Alaska, Hawaii, Military Bases, and US Territories will receive additional charges. If shipments are improperly processed without the correct shipping charges, we will notify you. You may elect to cancel the order or pay the additional necessary fee for shipping.
- International — We do not ship international orders at this time.
- Bulk items/orders - The $7.95 flat fee or free shipping does not apply to bulk orders. Bulk items are heavily discounted already, and we cannot apply discount codes to bulk (with the exception of Wholesalers in our Wholesale Program). Currently, we don't offer direct ordering of bulk items/orders from our website. Bulk items can be requested, ordered, and then invoiced by contacting our customer service via phone or email. Your shipping cost for bulk orders will be determined by the carrier you choose, weight of your order, and shipping location to you at the time of your order.
We strive hard to ship most Dried Vegetables, Dehydrated Vegetables, Freeze Dried Fruits, Freeze Dried Vegetables, Dried Instant Beans, Textured Soy Protein, or any of our other Food Storage products orders within 1 to 3 business day. Large orders or orders during high demand times may take an extra 1 to 3 days to ship. Please be patient with us!
If you are using our flat rate $7.95 or Free shipping services, then you must use the address that the post office uses to send your mail to. This shipping is a partnership between UPS, our principle carrier, and the US Post Office. UPS ships the parcel from our warehouse to your hometown. Your local Post office then delivers it to you.
Please note: We ship to the address that you have provided. We cannot be responsible for any delivery errors. If it is not able to be delivered, for any reason, and is returned to us, you will need to pay the postage that the Post Office charges to returned it to us and then the postage to have it sent back out the second time.
Seasonal Shipping Delays
Please note that events outside of our control can delay shipping times. Here are a few reasons why your package may be delayed in getting to you:
- Holiday Rush: Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas-time
- National Crises: Economic Downturns, COVID pandemic, Political Unrest, Supply Chain Issues, Rising Freight Costs, Labor Shortages, etc.
- Regional Disasters: Hurricanes, Snowstorms, Earthquakes, Wild Fires, etc. that can drive up the demand, even as they prevent regular delivery services.
