Shipping Information
Our amazing selection of the best foods in the world are made fresh and without preservatives. We have researched and tested to determine the necessary shipping process to be able to deliver these creations to your table fresh and delicious and without compromising quality.
|

We hope that the following information comprehensively addresses your shipping questions. Please let us
know if you have suggestions which will help us achieve our goal of providing you with the best customer service
possible.
Below you will find each restaurant or business listed separately, with specific shipping information and a
ground transit map to help you determine your preferred shipping option and approximate cost.
We are working hard to bring shipping cost as low as possible. In order to maintain quality and freshness, the
shipping and container cost at present, will add approximately $15 up to $70 (for over-nighting across country),
but please remember this is still a relatively low cost. We are bringing a world of delicious kindness to your door
AND saving you the cost of a flight cross country! As we become more successful, better rates will be available
to us, so please buykind much and often - it's an investment in your financial future!
IMPORTANT
Buykind respects and cherishes the earth and all of it's creatures. It is our wish to recycle and reuse shipping
containers whenever possible. When in good condition, please call to return your empty shipping container to us!
Upon your third returned reusable shipping container, buykind will send you a buykind gift certificate worth $5.
OUR GOAL IS TO GO 100% ECO-FRIENDLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. To do so we need your help. We have
researched extensively to find the most environmentally friendly shipping container out there and have found a
wonderful innovative company offering a 100% biodegradable shipping container. The cost is $14 per container,
approximately double the cost of the container that we are using by default. WE WOULD LOVE to make the
switch however, we also wish to be respectful of your budget. PLEASE CONTACT US AT 1-877-777-7723 IF YOU
PREFER TO PURCHASE A 100% BIODEGRADABLE SHIPPING CONTAINER. With only a handful of requests we
will be able to begin to accommodate your 100% biodegradable shipping container request!
UPDATE!! WE'VE MADE THE SWITCH TO THE MUCH MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SHIPPING
CONTAINERS NO LONGER USING STYROFOAM. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DONATE TO HELP US COVER THIS
EXTRA COST IF MOVED TO DO SO! THANK YOU FOR CARING.
Following is some helpful, general information about buykind shipping:








- When 1, 2 or 3 day (in cold season) ground transit time, feel free to select the less expensive ground rate.
Below are helpful DHL color-coded maps for each restaurant, which make it easy to determine the ground
transit time for you location DHL ground transit schedules are not guaranteed however they are
approximately 97% reliable. (We love DHL!) DHL overnight and two day air delivery times are guaranteed.
- Saturday deliveries include an additional charge of $15 per package.
- For delivery to a location other than a single family dwelling, please have someone present during delivery
hours to receive package. If not a single family dwelling and if no one is available to receive package, DHL will
leave a note requiring signature and upon attempted redelivery the next day with signature, DHL can leave the
package, however please note, delivery time will exceed recommendation for freshness of contents. A note
with tracking number, phone number and signature can be left for DHL driver to authorize package drop,
for other than a single family dwelling, if necessary.
- Please provide a physical address for your shipping destination because DHL does not deliver to PO Boxes or
APO addresses. In addition to a street address, DHL requests a delivery phone number in case they have a
question about delivery location.

discuss re-shipment or refund options. Please keep your packaging materials as it may be necessary in order
to process the claim if your order arrives damaged by DHL.
