Frequently Asked Questions

All of the items on the Marketplace are shipped directly from our vendors to you. If your order contains items from multiple vendors, please be aware that your order will arrive in separate packaging. If you would like your order to arrive in one package, please reach out to:
marketplace@thelocalpalate.com.

Shipping is currently only available within the continental U.S, and we are currently unable to send packages to P.O. boxes or to ship to multiple addresses on a single order.

If an item in your order requires special shipping considerations, e.g. heavy items, refrigerated/perishable items, or large quantities, then additional shipping and handling charges may apply on a case-by-case basis.

While we strive to deliver your order in perfect condition, mistakes do happen. If your order arrived with a damaged product, a product out of its expiration date, or otherwise un-usable, please reach out to Marketplace@thelocalpalate.com and include the order number in your message - we will make it right for you!

*Please note that if a product becomes damaged due to being left out in the elements after delivery, or if you simply did not like the product, we will be unable to replace the product or issue a refund.

Occasionally, a product we carry might not be your cup of tea. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns or offer refunds based on a dislike of taste, texture, or flavor. You should never receive an expired product, but if something tastes off, please let us know.
