Shipping & Returns

Shipping Outside the United States

All Wholesale orders that are requested to be shipped outside of the United States must either provide a Broker or agree to pay the import duties to that country, prior to the order shipping.

Shipping Policy

We have carefully selected the most reliable and cost efficient carriers to use for our shipping, so we encourage all of our customers to benefit from their timely and economical services as well. If, however, a customer prefers to use their own account or their own carrier, they are welcome to do so at their own risk. Please understand the customer is responsible for any damages or losses experienced through their carrier and must handle any claims themselves. Customer also agrees to assist The French Farm in reporting and documenting damages thoroughly so both parties may recoup their losses.

Damages: The French Farm inspects all cartons and pallets to ensure they leave our warehouse in excellent condition. If you receive a box or pallet which is obviously damaged or has been tampered with, please note the condition of the boxes on the carrier’s receipt OR refuse the shipment. Additionally, please take photos of any damage incurred through the shipping process and send them to wholesale@frenchfarm.com no later than one week after the date of receipt. Please make sure to include photos showing the full extent of the damage (i.e. if 12 jars of jam were broken, please include all jars in the photo). This is to ensure that we can give you the largest possible refund by receiving full reimbursement from the carrier.

Shipping Charges: Shipping charges are calculated based upon the size and weight of the shipment, as well as the accessibility of the destination location. We get excellent rates with our shipping companies and do pass on that discount to our customers, but some areas are more remote or difficult to deliver to and therefore more costly. We will do our best to offer the lowest rates to our customers, but please feel free to call us with any questions or concerns regarding shipping costs.

Bill of Lading: For all orders shipped with a customer chosen carrier, please email a complete Bill of Lading to ffaccounting@frenchfarm.com or fax to 713-660-0477. All BOL must include special instructions: “Very Fragile/Handle With Care/Do Not Double Stack” and all merchandise is Class 60.

When will my order ship and what are my shipping charges?

Your order will ship on a first in first out basis, or on the specified ship date that you have given us. Our lead time is 5 to 8 business days to process orders.

We ship via FedEx as they provide us with the most competitive rates, which we then pass on to you, our customer.
