SHIPPING CHARGES: UPS and USPS CARRIER DELIVERY TIMES (approximate)

We generally fill and ship ALL orders within two (2) to three (3) business days. Due to seasonal demand and volume, Holiday orders will be processed in the order received and take longer to fill and process.

Custom and special orders take longer to fill and will be processed in the order received by our vendors. We have no control over the delivery carriers used by our vendors for "Drop-Ship" ordered products, their tracking information, or special orders and their processing methods.

Shipping charges are based on UPS (United Parcel Service) or USPS (US Postal Service) rates that consider the total weight of your package, and the size of your package, and the destination of your package. Keep in mind your Yankee Harvest orders are shipped from Hamden, CT., so the CARRIER RATES and DELIVERY TIMES will vary by how close (or far) you are from this shipping location area in Connecticut.

Generally your order should arrive in 3 to 7 business days depending on your carrier and location within your state. Please allow extra time for the rush times and volume during seasonal times, holidays and inclement weather (...this sometimes does happen in Connecticut...!).

Below are the approximate number of business days it takes to receive your parcel, once the order is processed in Connecticut. The shipping times listed are for UPS (United Parcel Service) Ground Shipments ONLY.

In general, our shipments are sent both by USPS and UPS. Please NOTE: YOU, the customer chooses the delivery service and method of shipment. This determines how fast it will be delivered to your destination. That is not the responsibility of Yankee Harvest. Please allow extra time for the carriers rush times and volume, seasonal surges, especially during holidays and sudden New England inclement weather changes.

If ordering online, shipping charges, based on your total order weight, can be viewed once you enter your selection of products and shipping destination. You will see your total charges including shipping before your finalize your purchase.

Ground shipments are costed by carrier shipping weight, but if you choose UPS - NEXT DAY AIR, 2ND DAY AIR, the carrier shipping charges are by TOTAL SIZE OF THE PARCEL (LxHxW), NOT the TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE PARCEL...!
