I try to make our shipping prices affordable to our customers by basing our prices directly off of product weights and geographical distance. Our integrated system then checks with both UPS and USPS to get a real-time shipping quote. A small handling fee is charged in order to cover the cost of packaging and labor. If you want your package to be insured, the insurance fee will be added to your purchase according to the USPS.

Before your order is confirmed, you will be provided with the exact cost to ship your order to you via the various shipping methods (UPS Ground, 2nd Day Air, USPS, etc).

While it is still more proportionally expensive to ship one or two items, small orders shipped via the Post Office are now available at lower rates. Bear in mind that the Post Office has rates by weight AND by VOLUME, so orders containing only bagged spices, which fit into small flat-rate boxes, may be significantly cheaper than orders for jars of spices.

Please note that all product is carefully packaged and shipped via UPS or USPS depending on the address. We ship at present only in the Unites States. Gift Orders When ordering a gift to be shipped to an address different from the billing address, you must include your name or the name of the giver in the gift message, even when the recipient is expecting the package. We cannot always look up the sender information, and people are suspicious of boxes of powder from anonymous senders. Full payment is needed before we ship out your order.

Saffron Cuisine and Spices will not be responsible for damaged good once it leaves our warehouse. We though advice our customers to insure the large orders and even if orders are small to be on the safer side.
