Shipping Policy
At Mother Lode Coffee Traders, we aim to provide transparent and reliable shipping for every order.
Shipping Rates & Delivery Costs
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on:
- Your delivery location
- Package size and weight
- Shipping carrier rates
In most cases, the total shipping cost will be displayed before you complete your purchase, so there are no surprises.
Order Processing Time
Orders are typically processed within 1–3 business days after payment is received.
Please note:
- Orders are not processed or shipped on weekends or holidays
- High order volume or supplier delays may extend processing times
Shipping Times
Estimated delivery times vary depending on the product and supplier location:
- Domestic (U.S.): 5–10 business days
- International: 7–21 business days
These are estimates and may vary due to carrier delays, customs processing, or other factors beyond our control.
Multiple Shipments
Because we work with multiple suppliers, your order may arrive in separate packages at different times.
Tracking Information
Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information (if available).
Incorrect Addresses
Please ensure your shipping address is accurate at checkout.
We are not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by the customer.
Lost or Delayed Shipments
While we work with reliable carriers, delays can happen.
If your order appears lost or significantly delayed, please contact us at [your email], and we will assist in resolving the issue.
Customs, Duties & Taxes (International Orders)
International customers are responsible for any customs fees, duties, or taxes imposed by their country.
Shipping Issues & Damaged Items
If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the issue so we can make it right.
