We offer free standard shipping on all grocery and dry products. Fresh and frozen products are subject to calculated shipping charges, which will be displayed at checkout. Expedited shipping is also available for a fee.

What shipping methods are available?

We ship most orders via FedEx or UPS. For larger, palletized orders, we partner with Gold Coast Freight.

Your order will typically ship within 1-2 business days using UPS or FedEx. Once shipped, you can generally expect your package to arrive within 1-7 business days. Please allow extra time for holidays.

Will my whole order come in one shipment?

While suppliers aim to ship your entire order in one shipment, multiple shipments may be necessary if items are sent from different locations. If this occurs, you'll receive separate tracking information for each shipment.

Why am I receiving multiple tracking numbers for my order?

We work with a variety of suppliers to offer a wide range of products. Sometimes, products in your order may ship from different locations, which results in multiple shipments and tracking numbers. This is normal and helps us get your order to you as quickly as possible.

For lost shipments, we will work with the carrier to locate it. If deemed lost, we will provide a satisfactory resolution.

Do you ship internationally or to all US states?

We currently only ship within the United States, excluding California, Hawaii, or Alaska. If an order is mistakenly placed to these restricted regions, it will be cancelled and refunded.

Can I pick up my order or ship using my own carrier account?

We may request photos to assist in resolving the issue.
