Subject to stock availability. We try to maintain accurate stock counts on our website but from time-to-time there may be a stock discrepancy and we will not be able to fulfill all your items at time of purchase. In this instance, we will fulfill the available products to you, and contact you about whether you would prefer to await restocking of the backordered item or if you would prefer for us to process a refund.
2. Shipping Costs
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.
3. Returns
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.
