meritport Order & Shipping Policy

---

Thank you for choosing meritport. We are committed to getting your grocery and kitchen essentials to you safely and on schedule. The guidelines below explain exactly how we handle orders, what shipping options you can expect, and how we resolve any delivery issues — so you always know where your order stands from the moment you check out to the moment it arrives.

Order Processing & Dispatch

• Standard Non-Perishable Orders: Orders are prepared and sent out within 1–2 business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays).
• Order Cut-Off Time: Orders submitted before 2:00 PM EST (Monday through Friday) are typically handled the same business day. Orders received after 2:00 PM EST, or on weekends, are processed on the next business day.
• Perishable Goods Handling: Temperature-sensitive and perishable products are packed using specialized cold-chain insulation and shipped Monday through Thursday only, so they are not held in transit over the weekend.

Order Tracking & Delivery Confirmation

After your order ships, you will receive an automated shipping confirmation email with a direct tracking link and carrier details.

If tracking information has not appeared, or you have not received a tracking number within 3 business days of your order confirmation, please contact our support team with your order number.

Order Modifications & Address Changes

Because we work to dispatch orders quickly, processing begins soon after your order is placed.

• If you need to update your shipping address or change your order, please contact us within 1 hour of placing it at [email protected].
• We will make every effort to honor change requests, but once an order has been transferred to the shipping carrier, we are unable to modify the delivery address.

Damaged, Lost, or Compromised Shipments

We stand behind every order we ship:

• Perishable Items: If a perishable item arrives compromised, spoiled, or damaged due to shipping delays, notify us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we will issue a full refund or send a free replacement right away.
• Lost or Damaged Packages: If tracking shows your package as delivered but it has not arrived, or if items arrive damaged, please contact us within 7 days of delivery.
