What are your shipping and handling prices and policies?

SHIPPING & DELIVERY: We ship to any street address in the continental U.S. using UPS. Sorry, no shipments to PO Boxes or APO and FPO addresses. Orders are usually shipped within two business days after date of receipt unless a later desired delivery date is specified (use the comments box on the "shipping" page during checkout). Also note that if your order contains perishable items or wine, we may hold your order to ship the following Monday to protect the quality of your products. Standard Shipping generally takes between 1 and 7 business days to arrive (does not include Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), depending on the recipient’s location and its distance from Virginia.

Will you hold an order for shipping at a later date?

Absolutely! Either place your order by phone at 1.800.339.8055, and let us know you would like to delay your ship date or use the comments box in the "shipping" page during online checkout. Also, if cookies are enabled on your computer, items placed in your shopping bag will be held there for you to come back and complete your order for up to 3 weeks.

What is your return policy?

Our only acceptable outcome is 100% customer satisfaction. If for any reason you are disappointed in our products, shipping or customer service, please contact us, and we will make it right, whatever it takes.

Will you confirm receipt of my online order?

Definitely! We’ll send you an e-mail confirmation shortly after your order is placed.

How can I track the shipment of my order?

With ease! Once your package is shipped, UPS will send you an e-mail which has all the information you need. This e-mail will provide the tracking number(s) for your package(s), with which you can track your package(s) using UPS's website.

What is your privacy policy?

We totally get your concerns about entering personal information online. Please know that TASTE® is 100% committed to respecting your privacy, including your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number. You can be assured that we will not sell, share, or rent your contact information with any other parties. We may use your information to contact you at a later date about new products or news from TASTE®, but you may always elect out of our notification at any time using the Safe Unsubscribe link included with every e-mail we send.

What about online security?

All TASTE® transactions are encrypted and take place over a secure server. If for any reason you feel uncomfortable sending your information over the Internet, you can place your order by phone, Mon-Fri between 9-5, at 1.800.339.9055.

Why are some items only available to be shipped seasonally?

Trust us on this one; no one wants Chocolate Peanuts that have been in Virginia summer heat, in the back of a UPS truck for two days. We’ve taken out the guesswork for you and indicated which items are available to ship seasonally.

I see that you offer Standard Shipping & Handling and Second Business Day Shipping & Handling via UPS. What about UPS Next Day Delivery?

Because of the often-prohibitive cost of UPS Next Day Delivery for packages, it is not an option we typically offer. HOWEVER, if you positively-absolutely need to ship an item next-day, we can certainly do our best to accommodate. When doing so, it’s best to call early in the day. Please call us at 1.800.339.9055 for more information.

What does Exclusively TASTE™ mean?

Many of our products are available nowhere but here. We take great pride in being able to offer you a variety of quality products that bear the TASTE® name. Our TASTE® product line features homemade cheese spreads and crocks, signature nuts and nut mixes, cheese straws, extra virgin olive oil, coffee and other delicious food and drink.

Are there restrictions or policies for purchasing wine?

You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase or receive wine from TASTE®. Proof of age may be required at time of delivery.

We ship our gifts throughout the continental United States; however, many states prohibit out-of-state retailers from shipping wine to residents of their state. Unfortunately, these state laws on wine shipping are complex and change frequently. Worse still, local laws in several states restrict shipping to certain zip codes. We make every effort to remain in compliance with the regulations of the states and localities where wine shipments are restricted. For more details or help, feel free to give us a call at 1.800.339.9055 and we’ll answer all your questions!

Below is a list of (14) states into which wine shipments may be restricted:

Connecticut*
Florida*
Georgia
Idaho*
Indiana
Kentucky
Maine
Maryland
New Hampshire*
New York*
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas*
