Can I select my delivery date?

Yes. We love when people plan ahead. During checkout, you can leave a message requesting a specific delivery date.

Your order can be delivered on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday (except in cases where UPS is observing a holiday/black out day). 

We stop shipping orders Thursday afternoon to ensure products arrive fresh with UPS next day delivery. No orders are delivered on the weekend. 

When do I need to order by to ensure delivery on holidays and special occasions?

Please check our Holiday Delivery.

Can I ship my order to more than one address?

No. Each individual order must ship to a single qualifying address. If you wish to ship to multiple addresses, you must place separate orders.
Can my shipping address be different from my billing address?
Yes.

Why is a phone number required on the shipping address?

UPS requires shipping addresses have a valid telephone number to provide an additional method to contact the recipient should there be complications or issues with the shipment.

Are there any shipping or delivery restrictions?

Yes. Orders must ship to a single address in the 50 U.S. States or District of Columbia. Additionally, we are unable to deliver orders to:
PO Box addresses (all shipments require a physical address).
APO/FPO addresses (due to the perishable nature of our products).
International addresses (due to customs laws).

Can I change or reschedule my delivery date

Sometimes. If you wish to amend a delivery date, you should contact Customer Service immediately. Provided your order hasn’t already been packed and/or left our facility, we will make every effort to accommodate your request. In SOME cases, changing a delivery date will require having to cancel your original order and place a new order – as shipping costs may vary by delivery date.

Can I change my delivery address?

If your order hasn’t already been packed and/or left our warehouse, you can contact our Customer Service department to do this. In most cases, changing delivery address requires cancelling your original order and placing a new order (as shipping rates will change depending on the delivery location).

What if my order shipped to the wrong and/or invalid address?

Le Petit Epicurien is not responsible for validating shipping addresses. Any shipment that is un-deliverable and/or delivered incorrectly due to incorrect, incomplete and/or invalid shipping addresses voids our guarantee and/or the ability to refund the order in question – which is why Le Petit Epicurien strongly urges you to check and verify all addresses and zip codes carefully when placing your order.

Do I have to be home to receive my delivery?

We send our packages with No Signature Required, and UPS will normally leave your package with some important exceptions: It is up to the UPS driver’s discretion whether the package can be left at an apartment/condo complex when there is no secure place to leave the package, or they cannot gain access directly to your unit. If you are delivering to a business address, UPS generally requires a signature and will not be able to leave a package if the business is closed. Orders greater the $500 may require a signature. Le Petit Epicurien cannot take responsibility for packages that are un-deliverable for these reasons, so please plan accordingly.

What if UPS failed to deliver my order on the specified date/time?

In most cases, we recommend you contact UPS Customer Service directly – as this is generally the fastest way to resolve the issue because UPS will know more about the delivery status, have information on where to pick up the order, and/or know if/when a second delivery will be attempted.

Can I pick up my order directly at your warehouse?

Yes, do your order online, and select “pick up”. Our warehouse is located at :
2311 NW 149th St, Opa-Locka, FL 33054

Will I be notified when my order ships?

Yes. On the day your order is scheduled to ship, a shipping confirmation email containing your UPS tracking number and a link to the UPS website will be sent to the email address you used when placing you order. If you don’t receive a tracking email, please feel free to contact Customer Service.

Why is tracking information not available at the UPS website?

It’s likely your order hasn’t been picked up by UPS from our facility and/or UPS is in the process of updating their website. After receiving your shipping confirmation email, it can sometimes take a few hours for your tracking information to show up on the UPS website and/or show the status/movement of your shipment.

How will my order be packed?

Your order will be handpicked from stock held in our refrigerated warehouse. It will be carefully packed in an insulated box with reusable ice/gel packs designed to maintain your items in good condition for up to 48 hours. (Note: Frozen items may thaw during transit.)

What should I do with the ice packs in my order?

Ice gel packs are reusable. Store them in your freezer and use them to keep food cold on road trips, picnics, our outings. Throw them away anytime they are punctured or leaking.
