UPS
Ground Shipping Rates: We
ship most orders by UPS ground. Shipping cost
is based on weight and we charge what UPS
charges us to ship your package. If
you order online, the shipping cost is calculated
once the items you wish to order are added to
the shopping cart and you enter the ship to address.
If you are mailing or faxing an order you will
need the shipping quote before the order is sent
to us. Here are the options for obtaining a shipping
quote:
- Use
our shopping cart to calculate shipping: Add
the items you wish to order to the
shopping
cart by clicking the buy button and enter
the ship to address. Click the calculate shipping
button to see the shipping options.
- Call
1-800-768-4409 or Email
us for a shipping quote: Let
us know the items you wish to order and the
shipping address.
- UPS.com: If
you
know the exact shipping weight of your order
(including the weight of the
box and packaging), you may use the USPS shipping
page. Our zip code is 95060. Enter the address,
shipping weight, and our zip code, and rates
and times in transit will be displayed. Please
note that time in transit starts from the date
the order shipped, which is usually but not always
day after the order is placed. To calculate time
and cost with UPS use this link: http://wwwapps.ups.com/calTimeCost?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PNRO_L1
- USPS
Rate Calculator: If
you know the exact shipping weight of your
order (including the weight of the
box and packaging), you may use the
US Postal Service shipping page. Our zip code
is 95060. Enter the address, shipping weight,
and our
zip code,
and rates and times in transit will be displayed.
Please note that time in transit starts from
the date the order shipped, not the day you
place the order. Our
mail carrier picks up orders at 10 am on
most days. This
means
orders must be placed by 12 pm to be shipped
by Priority Mail the following day. Orders
placed after noon that are being shipped
by Priority
Mail
will
not ship the next day, they will ship the
day after. To calculate time

If
you order on-line, for more specific information
about choosing the right shipping option please

Cart Ship Info Page
***ORDERS
THAT WEIGH OVER 150 lbs***
Our
shopping cart cannot compute the actual shipping
cost for orders that weigh over 150 lbs. If ordering
heavy items online, the shopping cart will bill
you a $99 temporary rate. This is not a flat rate
to ship your order. The actual cost will be calculated
by our shipping department and we will contact
you to authorize the actual shipping charge. For
orders over 200 lbs, the rate will include the
hundredweight discount if shipped by UPS ground.
SHIPPING & BACK
ORDERS:
We
ship most orders within one business day of receiving
them (except for orders shipped via the US Post
Office, which can take up to 1 extra day for
processing). If an order is received by 12 PM
on a weekday we
will
ship
it
the same
day
(except
for very
large orders and USPS orders). We are a small
business with a small staff, so there are days
when we
have
lots
of orders to ship and we cannot ship all of the
orders on that day. When this happens (most often
on Mondays), we always ship the orders in the
order that we received them. We really appreciate
your understanding! We do not back order or substitute
items without contacting you first: If we are
out of an item we will call or e-mail for instructions,
unless the item is a closeout that is no longer
available, in which case it will be dropped from
the order.
C.O.D.
ORDERS:
We
do not accept COD orders. Check or money orders
can be mailed to the address on the order
form
EXPRESS
SHIPPING:
If
you are in a rush we can ship your order via
UPS Next Day, 2nd Day, or 3 Day Air to zones
A & B. Zone C Shipments are always shipped
USPS Priority Mail, but can be shipped overnight
upon request. If you wish NEXT DAY AIR Shipping,
you must place your order by telephone. Orders
shipped by an expedited method are billed the
actual cost of shipping & insurance.
Special
Notice: On October 1, 2007, Flat rate
shipping ended.
For
many reasons, the time came for us to
end the flat rate shipping program we
have offered for many years. Shipping
costs rose so much in recent years that
we were forced to inflate our prices
to cover the extra shipping, making our
prices seem outrageous to some customers,
and certainly unfair to customers who
live geographically closer to us. From
an environmental standpoint, the flat
rate shipping discouraged our customers
from seeking more local sources of heavy
items as the flat rate actually was an
incentive to ship as much weight clear
across the country as possible. Also
our web store never automatically applied
the correct flat rate shipping (a feature
that is not an option without switching
e-commerce providers) forcing us to make
it an honor based system which has been
confusing for many of our customers.
The new shipping system in our online
store will be much simpler: the shopping
cart will correctly charge the actual
shipping rate based on the destination
zip code, shipping method, and weight
of items ordered.
With
your continued support and choice to
brew organic, we are confident that in
the future more organic ingredients will
be available at lower prices all across
the US and beyond. Thank you for supporting
sustainable agriculture and choosing
organic!!
