Shipping policy
SHIPPING POLICY
At Bubba and Charlee's Coffee, we work to ship orders accurately and promptly while keeping expectations clear around processing, transit, and delivery.
1. Order Processing Time
Orders are typically processed within 48–72 hours after they are received.
Processing time refers to the time needed to verify, pick, pack, and prepare your order for shipment. This does not include carrier transit time.
Orders may be delayed if there is an issue requiring review, including but not limited to:
-
Invalid or incomplete shipping address
-
Missing apartment, suite, or unit information
-
Inventory availability questions
-
Order details requiring clarification
If an order must be paused for one of these reasons, it will not ship until the issue is resolved.
2. Shipping Method
Orders ship using the shipping method selected at checkout.
If no shipping method is selected, the order will default to Economy Shipping.
Orders addressed to P.O. Boxes will be shipped through USPS or another service capable of completing delivery to that address.
3. Transit Time
Transit time depends on the shipping service selected and the carrier handling the package.
Typical transit time is 3–6 business days, but this is an estimate only and is not guaranteed.
We are not responsible for delays caused by:
-
Carrier network disruptions
-
Weather
-
Peak season congestion
-
Missed scans
-
Delivery exceptions
-
Events outside our control
4. Tracking Information
Tracking information is provided once a shipping label has been created and the carrier scans the package into its network.
Please note:
-
Tracking movement begins only after the carrier performs the first acceptance scan
-
A lack of movement before the first carrier scan does not necessarily mean the order has not shipped
-
Marketplace or order notifications are triggered once tracking becomes active
5. Shipping Address Accuracy
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout.
Please double-check:
-
Street address
-
Apartment or suite number
-
City, state, and ZIP code
-
Any business or delivery access details
If an address appears invalid, incomplete, or undeliverable, the order may be delayed until corrected.
We are not responsible for delivery issues, reshipment costs, or losses resulting from an address entered incorrectly by the customer.
6. Undeliverable or Returned Packages
If a package is returned because of an incorrect, insufficient, or undeliverable address, any reshipment or refund will be handled according to our store’s discretion.
Original shipping charges may be non-refundable.
7. Multiple Shipments
Some orders may ship in multiple packages depending on item availability, packaging requirements, or order composition.
If this occurs, each shipment may receive its own tracking number.
8. Out-of-Stock Items and Substitutions
If an item becomes unavailable before shipment, the order may be delayed while the issue is reviewed.
We do not substitute products without approval.
9. Delivered but Not Received
If tracking shows Delivered but you report that the package was not received, please contact us promptly.
We may review available shipment details, including tracking, ship date, service used, and carrier scan history. However, we are not liable for:
-
Theft after delivery
-
Misdelivery by the carrier after a Delivered scan
-
Carrier service failures outside our control
Any replacement or refund in these situations is handled at our discretion.
10. Delayed or Stalled Tracking
If tracking appears not to be moving, we will review the shipment status and confirm whether the package has been accepted by the carrier.
Once the carrier has possession of the package, delays in movement are considered carrier-controlled.
11. Wrong Item, Missing Item, or Damaged Order
If your order arrives with the wrong item, is missing items, or is damaged in transit, contact us and include the appropriate evidence so we can investigate.
For wrong item claims, please provide:
-
A photo of the item received
-
Packaging or label visible if possible
For missing item claims, please provide:
-
Your order number
-
Photos of all items received
-
Photos of the packaging if applicable
For damage claims, please provide:
-
Photos of the outer shipping box
-
Photos of the inner packaging
-
Photos of the damaged product
-
A photo of the shipping label
We review these claims using shipment records and order data before determining next steps.
12. Coffee Freshness and Shelf Life
Our coffee is a shelf-stable product, but freshness matters.
For best quality, we recommend:
-
Unopened: best within 4–6 months
-
Opened: best within 6 weeks
-
For peak flavor, use within 3–4 weeks of opening
Store coffee sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
