Every order has a unique number

Every order is logged in a robust database

All your payment details can only be retrieved by Tu Meke Friend in an encrypted session

Confirmation emails of your order are sent to you the customer

Emails

We only email you if you want us to. We do not send unsolicited emails. When you register your email address with us, if you choose to, you go on a list to receive email announcements about products, offers and promotions from us.

Every email message we send includes an email address to which you can respond. If at any time you decide you do not want to receive our emails, simply click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the newsletter. If you unsubscribe you will continue to receive emails specifically related to your online orders.

Orders and Delivery [USA ONLY]

An order made via this site (“order”) is an offer to purchase one or more products. When we receive your order, we will accept this offer by confirming via email that we have received and are processing the order. We will deliver the products set out in your order (“products”) almost anywhere in the USA. We deliver anywhere in the Continental US, to exclude Alaska and Hawaii. And our orders are shipped from our warehouse in Independence, MO.

We endeavour to deliver all products within 3-5 working days of us confirming receipt of the order, although this timeframe is an estimate only. If we are not able to supply the products or there is likely to be a significant delay in making delivery (e.g. because the product is out of stock or the delivery is to a rural/remote location*), we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible after we become aware of this, in which case you may cancel the order (or any part of it) and you will receive a refund (including the applicable delivery charges) in respect of those products which will not be delivered (if any). We will not otherwise be liable to you for any damages, costs or expenses of any kind, suffered or incurred by you due to the order not being fulfilled or the products not being delivered within the anticipated delivery time.

The anticipated delivery charges (if applicable) will be notified to you when you complete the order.

For orders under $50.00 the shipping cost will be calculated by the weight of your order based on UPS shipping fees.

For overs over $50 we offer free shipping to any valid USA shipping address (excluding Hawaii & Alaska). EXCEPT if the order includes Canned product, we will charge the customer a flat shipping rate of $12.00.

At this time, we do not offer expedited shipping, only ground/standard shipping

* Special offer periods may apply.

Authority to Leave

All Tu Meke Friend freight being delivered by UPS Couriers should be attempted to be personally delivered to the recipient with a signature obtained in accordance with the UPS standard policy.

In a situation where a signature cannot be obtained the UPS authorised driver has been given authority to leave the parcel where practical, unless a signature has specifically been requested. Any special delivery instructions provided on the label will be followed (ie. Leave in letterbox or at back door).

Product Descriptions

The products will comply, in all material respects, with their product descriptions appearing on this site at the time when you submit the order. If a product does not comply with its product description, you may return the product(s) and accept a refund or exchange the product(s).

Returns Policy [USA ONLY]

If you’re not completely happy with your purchase, please let us know and we’ll try our best to put things right, arrange an exchange, or issue a full refund of the purchase price. We will send you a free return shipping label for all authorized returns on orders made in our online store.

We are not able to accept any returns more than 30 days after the original purchase date, except at the discretion of our customer service team.
