We will gladly accept any unopened items in store within 30 days of purchase with a receipt. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.
All online returns require pre-authorization and if approved once the return is received back to us, the refund issued will be the original purchase price minus a 15% restocking fee and any shipping fees. You may be asked to provide pictures before authorization is provided.
All orders canceled before they are shipped will be issued a refund of the original purchase price minus a 15% restocking fee and any shipping fees.
Bulk products and/or products closed with a twisty or tab closure are not returnable.
Your refund will be returned via the original payment method. (Purchases paid by check requires a 10 business day waiting period from purchase date.)
Unfortunately, we cannot accept any returns of opened items unless there is a quality control issue.
All special orders require pre-payment and are non-returnable.
All bulk produce orders are special orders, require pre-payment, and are non-refundable. While we do our best to store them in an optimal environment, we are not responsible for your failure to pick up in a timely fashion and the degradation of the produce. After three days, unclaimed produce will be discarded and is non-refundable.
BackOrder Refund Policy
Orders cancelled, when you order the item knowing that it is backordered, are subject to a 5% cancellation fee. Meaning that you will only receive 95% of the original price in refund as we can no longer promise ETAs due to ongoing manufacturing supply chain challenges.
