We use a 3rd party courier service for last mile shipping, costs are thus calculated during checkout based on the customer's address approximating the 3rd parties shipping costs. Payment for shipping will be collected with the purchase. This price will be the final price for shipping cost to the customer.

Given the nature of fresh produce and products, Farmers Tree cannot take back returns due to change of mind.
However, if there are any issues that resulted in you not receiving full quality of our product - for example, damage during transit (see #6 and #9 below), we will happily replace this product with our subsequent delivery to you. Replacement and shipping will be born by Farmers Tree.
