SHIPPING FAQ

What if the order is going to a business?
If an order is being shipped to a business, FedEx will deliver the package to the designated delivery area where all other packages are received by the company (i.e. receiving area, loading dock, reception or administrative desk).
Many companies do not permit the delivery drivers to enter an office in search of a specific individual; it is therefore the company’s responsibility to ensure the order reaches the correct recipient once the package has been signed for.

Do recipients have to be present to receive their packages?
Yes, and a signature is required! This policy is non-negotiable.
If the carrier cannot obtain a signature they will not be able to leave the package. A second attempt to deliver will be made, often on the next business day.

What if an incorrect or incomplete address is provided?
If an order is shipped based on an incorrect address provided by the customer, it will be returned to Butter Emporium. FedEx charges Butter Emporium a flat fee of $45 to return the package, which will be charged back to the customer. Once a package with an incorrect or incomplete address has left Butter Emporium, little can be done. On occasion, it may be possible to reroute a package to the proper address for a fee of $25 but this is not always successful. The $25 rerouting fee does not guarantee the change of address mid-shipment and is non-refundable.
A deliverable package will be returned to us and sent back out for delivery at an additional cost.
FedEx does not always call to inform us of a problem. We are often unaware there is a problem until the package is returned. In these instances, we ask for the customer’s patience. In return, we promise to do everything in our power to ensure the order arrives in perfect condition and as soon as humanly possible.
Please verify the shipping address at checkout.
