Orders & Shipping
Shipping Policy:
We guarantee that our fresh, handcrafted artisan teas will be shipped in excellent condition. If you are unsatisfied with your products for any reason we will gladly exchange it for a product of equal or lesser value, excluding shipping charges, on merchandise returned to us within 30 days of delivery. Please Contact Us or call 216-406-9139.
Orders are processed in the order they are received and usually ship within 24 to 72 business hours of receipt, unless otherwise specified. Please keep in mind that if you place your order after 12pm EST on Friday, your order will not process or ship until the following week as Storehouse Tea is not open for business over the weekend. This includes all orders that require expedited shipping (i.e.: Next Day Air, 2-Day Air, 3-Day Select).
USPS & UPS:
All orders shipped within the Continental US are shipped via UPS Ground or USPS unless otherwise specified. UPS does not ship to P.O. Boxes so a street address is required in order to ship a package via this method.
Orders shipped via UPS Ground can take 1-5 days for delivery depending upon your location.
Expedited Shipping (i.e., Next Day Air, 2-Day Air, 3-Day Select) is available for all orders shipped within the Continental US and Canada. Please note that 24-72 hour order processing times still apply to packages shipped via this method.
US MAIL (USPS):
This method is available for shipment to PO Boxes, Military Addresses & International Orders (including Guam, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands).
While our shopping cart does not allow one to choose the military states (i.e., APO, AE, FPO), we can still ship to these addresses. Please enter a real physical street address as a “space-filler” in the Shipping Address section. In the box marked “Add Comments About My Order”, please type “Ship to this Military Address”, followed by the correct shipping address. Please note that when you select your shipping method, the cost estimate displayed will reflect shipping to the “space-filler” address, not the APO, AE or FPO. The new shipping cost will be manually recalculated and processed in-house by customer service and will be reflected on the final invoice. Please allow 5-7 days for delivery via this shipping method. International orders can take up to 14 business days for delivery.
Please note the following:
Process and delivery times shown above are based upon normal business volumes. Please note that during peak seasons and holidays, order process times may increase. (Refer to Holiday Shipping Policy below for more details) You may choose to upgrade the shipping method for faster delivery however, please note that this does not affect order process times. Not all delivery methods are available to all areas.
Storehouse Tea is not responsible for packages that are undeliverable due to wrong addresses, missing information or not having someone present to receive packages. If there is a suite number, apartment number, or building number, please be sure to include that on your order.
UPS has permission to leave packages at the recipient address if no one is there to sign for them; however UPS drivers may also leave a UPS notice for a 2nd or 3rd delivery attempt at their discretion. Storehouse Tea is not responsible for packages stolen or damaged after they are delivered to the address specified by the customer. We highly recommend that someone be home to accept the package or that it is shipped to a workplace or office address when possible.
If you select "Signature Required for Delivery", your package will not be delivered unless it is signed for. If no one is present, UPS will make two more attempts before they return the package to us.
If your order is undeliverable and returned to us, you will be issued a store credit for your order, minus the shipping cost. If you wish to send the same items again, a new order is required. You may also need to provide an alternate shipping address, as UPS may flag the undeliverable address on all future deliveries.
Storehouse Tea is not responsible for delays caused by weather, mechanical failure or other acts beyond our control. If you require special shipping instructions, such as Saturday delivery, or a specified delivery date, please feel free to call us at 216-409-9139 and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
