verveforge Order & Shipping Policy

---

Welcome to verveforge. We are committed to getting your grocery and kitchen essentials to you safely and on time. The policies below are written to give you a clear, honest picture of how we handle every order — from the moment you check out to the moment your package arrives at your door.

Order Processing & Dispatch

• Standard Non-Perishable Orders: We pick, pack, and dispatch these orders within 1–2 business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays).
• Order Cut-Off Time: Orders submitted before 2:00 PM EST (Monday through Friday) are typically processed the same business day. Orders received after 2:00 PM EST, or on weekends, are handled on the next business day.
• Perishable Goods Handling: Temperature-sensitive and perishable products are packed using specialized cold-chain insulation and are shipped only Monday through Thursday, so they never sit in transit over a weekend.

International Shipping

verveforge ships to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and select European Union countries.

• Estimated Transit Time: 7–14 business days after dispatch.

Order Tracking & Delivery Confirmation

After your order ships, we will send you an automated shipping confirmation email with a direct tracking link and courier details.

If your tracking information has not updated, or you have not received a tracking number within 3 business days of your order confirmation, please contact our support team with your order number.

Order Modifications & Address Changes

Because we work to dispatch orders quickly, processing begins soon after your order is placed.

• If you need to change your shipping address or modify your order, please contact us within 1 hour of placing it at support@verveforge.shop.
• We will make every effort to accommodate your request, but once an order has been transferred to the shipping carrier, we are unable to change the shipping address.

Damaged, Lost, or Compromised Shipments

We stand behind every order we deliver:

• Perishable Items: If a perishable item arrives compromised, spoiled, or damaged due to shipping delays, notify us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we will issue an immediate full refund or send a free replacement.
• Lost or Damaged Packages: If tracking shows your package as delivered but you have not received it, or if items arrive damaged, please contact us within 7 days of delivery.
