Thank you for choosing craveforge. We are committed to getting your grocery and kitchen essentials to you safely and on time. The policies below are written to give you a clear, honest picture of how your order travels from our facility to your door.

Order Processing & Dispatch

• Standard Non-Perishable Orders: Orders are prepared and handed off to the carrier within 1–2 business days, counted Monday through Friday and excluding federal holidays.
• Order Cut-Off Time: Any order submitted before 2:00 PM EST on a weekday is handled the same business day whenever operationally possible. Orders submitted after that time, or at any point over the weekend, are handled on the next business day.
• Perishable Goods Handling: Items that require temperature control are packaged using dedicated cold-chain insulation and are shipped only Monday through Thursday, so they are never left sitting in transit over a weekend.
