As a shop made up of independent makers across the globe, we aren't currently able to accept returns, except for damaged items. Food, gift cards, vintage, and monogrammed pieces are not eligible for returns—unless, of course, someone monogrammed the wrong letter on your tea towel. Thankfully, this has only happened once.
If you'd like to contact us regarding your order, please email [email protected] within 15 days of receiving your order. Please note if an item is accepted for return, refunds will be provided in the form of Food52 Shop credit, minus the cost of return shipping, and some items may be subject to a restocking fee. Thank you—from both Food52 and our makers worldwide—for your understanding.
If you receive a damaged item, please contact us within 30 days of receiving your order at [email protected] with your name, order number and photos of the damage—we’ll straighten this out right away!
We offer $9 flat rate shipping within the contiguous US. A rate of $30 applies to orders shipping to Alaska or Hawaii. The majority of our products are shipped via UPS Ground, although a select few ship via USPS. Please note: We are currently unable to send packages to P.O. Boxes.
If you need something quickly, many of our products are also eligible for express shipping for an additional charge. You can see if your product has this service available by clicking “Shipping options & delivery estimate” on the product page.
If something is particularly heavy, bulky, comes in an especially cumbersome package, is perishable, or ships from another country, we’ll note an extra surcharge on the product page and at checkout.
We currently ship within the U.S., to all 50 states. We hope to offer international shipping sometime in the future!
On each product’s page you’ll see a shipping icon with “Shipping options & delivery estimate” which will detail our estimate for how long it will take the product to leave our merchant’s location. Most of the products in our shop ship UPS Ground and you’ll receive an email with tracking information within an hour of shipment. Once a package is on its way to you via standard shipping, it will arrive within 1 to 5 business days.
