Promotional Offers & Exclusions
Promotions
From time to time, the Company makes promotional offers to current and potential customers as part of its marketing program.
Such offers are usually limited in time (e.g. to specified seasons), or restricted to new customers,
or serve as an incentive or "thank you" for specific actions (e.g. referring a friend).
The Company reserves the right to limit the order size to which a discount offer applies, and to exclude certain products or categories of product from offers of discounted prices on its merchandise. For example, alcoholic beverages are excluded from all such offers and will not be discounted.
In most other instances, items are excluded because the Company's prices are already heavily discounted.
For example, printer inks are excluded.
Customers requiring a list of items excluded from discount promotions may call Customer Service at 914-347-0006 to request
a current listing.

special refrigerated coolers from our warehouse to your door.

have the option of refusing any substitution and getting a credit on your card.

Providing accurate delivery information
Our customers are responsible for providing us with an accurate, up-to-date shipping address and billing information, so that
we can execute your order. We also require a current telephone number at which you can be contacted during the delivery time
window. This enables our drivers to call you, if there are any unanticipated changes or questions.
Customers are also responsible for updating their shipping or billing information should there be any changes; to avoid being
charged for delivery to an out-dated address.
Existing customers can update their shipping or billing information by logging in, then clicking on the EDIT ACCOUNT button at
the top of the homepage. After clicking, you will see your current account information: simply make the needed changes and end by clicking on UPDATE
at the bottom of the information page.

When will my order be delivered?
YourGrocer has its own fleet of vans and dedicated drivers.
We make every effort to ensure your order arrives within the time slot you have selected.
Although we schedule our vans conservatively, traffic density may slow a van down.
In addition, new security precautions are increasing the time to deliver to certain buildings.
Hence, YourGrocer is unable to guarantee on-time arrival, despite our best efforts.
We have equipped our drivers with 2-way cell phones.
They are under instructions to alert customers if they are running late.
Also, customers are welcome to call Customer Service at 914-347-0006 (M-F: 9AM - 5PM) on the day of delivery,
to obtain updated arrival time estimates.
Do I need to be home to receive a delivery?
No, provided you make arrangements for the order to be received at your address.
When placing an order you can type a note in the "Special Directions"
field that our delivery person will see. For example, you may type,
"Leave with doorman" or "Leave on porch" and our delivery person
will follow your instructions.
What if no one is available to receive an order?
If no one is available to receive your order during the scheduled delivery time window, you will be charged the delivery fee
and 100% of the cost of perishable items in your order (such as fresh vegetables and frozen items).
We will be happy to set up another delivery date if you call customer service at 914-347-0006. There will be an additional delivery charge.
What if my order includes beer?
If beer is included in your order, the person receiving the delivery must have identification to prove they are over the age of 21.
The driver will ask for their signature. If no one aged 21 or over is available to receive the order,
the driver is required to remove the beer from the order and you will be charged a 25% restocking fee for the beer, as beer is a non-returnable item.
Do you deliver to walk-ups?
Yes, however our drivers are only required to walk-up to the 3rd floor.
