Fermentation Trap’s Shipping Policy
and Our Shipping Philosophy

We know what it feels like to get ripped off on shipping, we've ordered from those  Ebay sites that charge you $25.00 to ship a $4.00 item, and we believe it is a bad way to do business.  We will never try to make money by charging you excess shipping fees, we think the flat rate shipping is a great way to do this, but if your items are over 20lbs we will charge you actual shipping costs.


 
Shipping Methods
Fermentation Trap ships orders through either United States Postal Service (USPS) or the United Parcel Service (UPS). Please allow 5-7 days for delivery of items shipped through the Gound option, and 2-3 days for the Express option. If you ship with the Express option you will receive an email from UPS with a tracking number for your convenience. If you do not receive one, please email us at shipping@fermentationtrap.com or call us at (434) 985-2192 or fax us at (434) 985-2212.

Shipping Rates

Your shipping charges are a flat rate:

Ground: $7.99
Express: $16.99

Orders over 20lbs will be charged an additional fee based on the total cost of shipping through the cheapest option. We won't rip you off on shipping and we will get a reauthorization based on the actual cost of shipping before sending out your items. If there is ever a problem with shipping please email us at shipping@fermenationtrap.com.


Order Processing

Please allow 2-3 business days for the shipment of the product (provided the product is not backordered). It usually takes 12-24 hours to ship the product from our store. However if the product is in high demand or short supply then we have to order from our supplier in which case it will take another 24-48 hours. After that we ship the product using the method you selected in Checkout. It normally takes between 3-10 days to reach the customer's shipping address, depending on the shipping option selected. Business days include days from Monday - Friday.

Backordered Products

We try to maintain as much stock as possible of all products at our store but in the event of short supply or high demand of any particular product, it may be backordered. In that case our sales department will let our customers know the status of their product and possible shipment time. The customer will then decide whether he/she wishes to wait for the product or re-order in future.

Bulk Orders

If you would like to order bulk volume (i.e. 50 units or above) for any product then please contact our sales team giving your contact information (including phone and email). Our sales team will then contact you and give details on discounts and shipment.

International Shipping

Fermentation Trap will ship to international countries, please contact us for shipping rates at shipping@fermentationtrap.com

Incorrect Shipping Address

 Please take time to enter your shipping address correctly. We also email you the receipt of the order you have purchased. The receipt contains the shipping address you have entered on the website. If you feel that you have entered any information incorrectly please let us know within 48 hours by emailing or calling us. You will not be charged anything extra. However, if the order is shipped (with incorrect shipping address) through UPS then you will have to pay extra to reship to your correct shipping address as we have to pay that money to UPS.

Incomplete/Partial Orders Shipment

Fermentation Trap can split your order depending on your selection during checkout (a split shipment order is any order in which back ordered items are shipped separately as the items become available). In case of split-ship order, we'll immediately process and ship the in-stock items, and send the on-order items separately when they're available. In these cases, you are required to pay additional shipment fees to ship the items which become available later on. The amount to be paid will be communicated by our sales team.

Order Cancellation

 If you wish to cancel your order, please email us immediately at shipping@fermentationtrap.com. Please write your order code in the email so that we are able to expedite the process. Please not that if you order has been shipped and you wish to cancel that order then you will ONLY be refunded product amount (minus the 15% re-stocking fee) and tax (if applicable). You will NOT be refunded shipping amount as we have to pay that amount to UPS. You will ALSO have to bear shipping charges of returning the product to us in its unused condition.

If the product has been used, opened or tampered in any way then you will NOT be refunded any amount for that product as we do not provide any warranty for that product. However, if your product has NOT been shipped then you will be refunded complete product amount, tax amount (if applicable) and shipping amount. If you have any other questions, please contact us.
