Shipping Advice
How to choose the best shipper for your location

We use both USPS Priority Mail and FedEx. All coffee and most items are shipped from Branford, CT. and we are interested in having your packages arrive as quickly and economically as possible. Choose the one best for you based on the following criteria:

-- U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail:

• Offers excellent rates if you are in the western US or live in an area that FedEx considers rural zip code.
• Delivery is usually 2 or 3 days no matter where you are located in the US.
• Deliveries are 6 days a week: Monday through Saturday. Yes, Saturday deliveries.
• Important Note: USPS has a special Priority Mail Flat Rate. The Medium Flat Rate box holds up to 12 pounds of unroasted coffee and the shipping rate is $10.90 to anywhere in the country. The Large Flat Rate box holds up to 16 pounds of unroasted coffee and costs $14.70. When you buy 3 to 16 pounds of coffee and, you reside in a state where either shipping rate will be a benefit, you will see the best option in addition to regular Priority Mail. Choose the one that costs least as the service and delivery times are the same. This is a quick, cost effective option if you are outside of our area.

-- FedEx: We offer three levels of FedEx service. FedEx delivers Monday through Friday to commercial and Tuesday through Saturday to residential.

• Ground / Home Service - Next day delivery guaranteed within our surrounding states (see FedEx delivery map below). Since the packages are transported via trucks the further the distance you are from us the longer it will take to arrive. USPS Priority Mail is a good alternate if your destination is beyond 2 or 3 days. Often, FedEx ground is the the best choice if you live in a nearby state.
