We do not ship C.O.D. and we do not require a signature for a package to be left unless requested. We ship via UPS or FedEx and are unable to deliver to P.O. boxes. Delays or returns due to invalid or incorrect addressing are the responsibility of the buyer, although we and our carriers do our best to ensure the product arrives as intended. We are not responsible for delays due to signature requirements or failed delivery attempts.
Incorrect Addresses/Reroutes
If your order requires a change in address by the shipping carrier, please call us immediately. If your gift is already with UPS, you will be charged a $25 rerouting fee. Address corrections will also add at least one day to the delivery time and, during warm/cold weather months, and may result in a compromised product.
Failed Delivery Attempts
A correct address is essential because our products are perishable. UPS will attempt to deliver up to three times. After the third attempt, the order will be returned to Frog Hollow Farm. Failed delivery attempts do not qualify for replacements or refunds.
