Shipping & Returns


Shipping:

We ship Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays and weekends within the United States. Shipping charges are calculated online directly by the United States Postal Service (USPS) through the checkout process based on the weight of the package and destination of the package. We don't ship to PO Boxes. Insurance costs are included in the shipping cost regardless of size of package and destination. All orders are shipped by USPS within 3 business days of payment being received and effective if stock is available. Out of stock orders will be shipped when items become available. Worldwide shipment available. To calculate your shipping costs, simply add any of the items to cart and click the estimate shipping button. Tracking number and Delivery confirmation are provided with every shipment. Shipping charges are non-refundable costs related to your order. Under no circumstances shipping charges will be refunded either by the United States Postal Services or By Valenti Organics.

Orders placed after 5:00 PM (EST) will be processed the next business day. Orders received on Saturday and Sunday will be processed on the following business day.

By Valenti Organics is not responsible for undeliverable packages. If USPS has attempted delivery 3 times according to their policies, and they are unable to deliver to the shipping address given, USPS will automatically redirect the package back to the By Valenti Organics warehouse. The customer will be responsible for all shipping charges incurred during this process.

For Canadian and International Customers: Shipping charges are based on the weight of your parcel and will be accurately displayed in the shopping cart (subject to offline verification). Please note that customs, duties, taxes, and other import fees may be imposed on shipments separately from the shipping cost by the country of destination. By Valenti Organics cannot and will not be responsible for these charges. We urge you to check with local authorities regarding customs, duties, taxes and import charges prior to ordering if you are not already familiar with them. Finalizing and submitting your order indicates your acceptance of any duties and taxes your country of destination may impose.

Any shipping & handling and insurance services paid to ship orders to the address in the United States of America provided as the destination address for and by the Package Forwarding Services company will be rendered invalid after the package is received by the Package Forwarding Services company and won't apply nor be refunded if package is lost or suffers damage while in the custody or after delivery by the Package Forwarding Services company.

Damaged or Lost Items During Shipping:

It is normal for outside boxes and envelopes to show sign of wear, however if the content was damaged, please notify us immediately and report this issue to your carrier. If the outside box looks severely damaged, if possible refuse the shipment and request the driver to note all the details. Damage or loss incurred during shipping is the delivery company's responsibility. Since all our orders ship with insurance from the United States Postal Office, claims must be properly filed with the delivering carrier (USPS) online or at your local post office. Please take pictures of the box and content to record any damage. Keep all the packaging material as you may need to show the condition in which you received your order. Only shipments that are insured can claim the total of the loss, minus shipping or delivery charges, to be reimbursed by the delivery company. Although the addressee must initiate damage claims against the shipper, we will be happy to assist you in all we can. By filing a claim with the United States Postal Office you cannot request a refund from By Valenti Organics.
