RETURN POLICY:
Ginsberg’s Foods is committed to delivering quality goods and services, however we
know there are times when product does need to be returned. As always, we will
continue to credit any product that is returned at the time of delivery. After a delivery is
made any requests for pick-up or credit of product must fall within our predetermined
guidelines in order to receive credit.
IMPORTANT REASONS FOR OUR RETURNS AND CREDIT POLICY:
- To insure product quality and reduce loss for our customers
- Insure that all product is handled according to HACCP regulations
- Reduce the risk of redistribution of defective product
- Decrease the processing time for credits
WHEN YOUR ORDER ARRIVES
- Verify the product being delivered is accurate and of good quality.
- You can choose to return product on delivery for credit. All “Special” or
“Proprietary” order items that are returned are subject to a 25% restocking
charge unless the product was damaged or is found to be of poor quality on
delivery. - If an item is short on delivery the driver will note it at the bottom of your invoice
and deduct the amount if you are paying on delivery. If payment is not being
made at the time of delivery the item will be credited to your account once it
returns to our warehouse.
Once you have checked your order please sign the invoice. Your signature is
verification that you are satisfied with your order and that all proper notations have been
made.
Requests for credit due to a shortage must be made at the time of delivery. Credits will
not be issued for any product after your invoice has been signed.
