Shipping Methods:
USPS
All orders shipped within the Continental US are shipped via USPS unless otherwise specified. A USPS tracking number will be emailed to you upon shipment of your order. Orders shipped via USPS Ground can take 1-6 days for delivery depending upon your location.
Shipping Cost:
The shipping and handling cost for your order is based on the total weight of the order.
Shipping Liability:
Mela Teas is not responsible for packages that are undeliverable due to wrong addresses, missing information, or not having someone present to receive packages. If there is a suite number, apartment number, or building number, please be sure to include that on your order.
USPS has permission to leave packages at the recipient address if no one is there to sign for them. Mela Teas is not responsible for packages stolen or damaged after they are delivered to the address specified by the customer. We highly recommend that someone be home to accept the package or that it is shipped to a workplace or office address when possible.
If you select “Signature Required for Delivery”, your package will not be delivered unless it is signed for. If no one is present, USPS will make two more attempts before they return the package to us.
If your order is undeliverable and returned to us, you will be issued a store credit for your order, minus the shipping cost. If you wish to send the same items again, a new order is required. You may also need to provide an alternate shipping address, as USPS may flag the undeliverable address on all future deliveries.
Mela Teas is not responsible for delays caused by weather, mechanical failure or other acts beyond our control.
Processing Time:
Orders are processed in the order they are received and usually ship within 3 – 5 business days (does not include weekends, holidays, or otherwise specified days of closure). Please keep in mind that if you place your order after 11am PST on Friday, your order will not process or ship until the following week as Mela Teas is not open for business over the weekend. This includes all orders that require expedited shipping
Return Policy:
All items are guaranteed up to 30 days of receipt for store credit. If you are unsatisfied with your products we will gladly issue a store credit for your purchase price, excluding original shipping charges. Mela Teas is not responsible for the return shipment costs for returns based on personal preference or non-quality related issues.
