SHIPPING POLICY

What shipping methods are used for my subscription? Can I choose which method is used?
We partner with Shopify-approved carriers USPS and UPS for domestic shipping. Customers can buy expedited shipping for one-time orders. Recurring orders within the U.S. are automatically assigned free ground shipping and are unable to be expedited.

Where is my order?
If you have an account in our online store, you can view your order history by logging in here. Once your order ships, your tracking number will be available within your account. If you checked out as a guest, you can track your order once it has shipped. In both cases, a shipping notification with your tracking number will be sent to the email address provided at checkout once your order has shipped.

My order arrived damaged; what should I do?
Please contact shop@caffevita.com with your order number and a photo of the damage for assistance.

My order has no tracking updates. Is it lost?
Probably not! If you do not see any tracking details, that means the carrier hasn't scanned the package. Tracking details are commonly updated closer to the delivery date, so hang tight. When shipping within the United States, the approximate delivery window is 1-6 days. If your order has not updated after 5 days, please reach out to shop@caffevita.com for assistance.

How do I get free shipping?
Caffe Vita offers free US standard shipping on all recurring orders and any one-time orders with a subtotal of $50 or more - no code required. For recurring orders, your free shipping class is automatically applied.

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major U.S. credit cards, Shop Pay, Paypal, and Apple Pay.

Do you ship internationally?
International shipping is available with USPS, but does not include duties and taxes. These must be paid to the carrier upon delivery. If you experience preventative issues and/or have more detailed questions about international shipping, please contact shop@caffevita.com.

Do you ship to U.S. military addresses?
Yes. While you can select between USPS and UPS for service to APO's and U.S. military addresses at checkout, we recommend choosing USPS to avoid any complications with your delivery.

How do I cancel my order?
Please contact us at shop@caffevita.com for assistance with cancelling your order. Please contact us as soon as possible, as we cannot cancel or refund orders once they have shipped.

My order was marked as delivered but I never received it. What do I do now?
Mistakes can happen with shipping carriers. If you have not received your package 24 hours after it is marked as delivered, please reach out to shop@caffevita.com for assistance.

COFFEE

Do you have light, medium, or dark roast coffees?
Caffe Vita has it all! All our coffee offerings have a roast level indicator on our website. Most of our coffees will also include the roast level on the label itself. Head to www.caffevita.com/pages/coffee to learn more.

Are all Caffe Vita coffees organic?
While we do have some organic options, not every coffee is certified organic. Caffe Vita is proud of our partnerships with small farms and co-ops who often cannot afford the high costs associated with the organic certification process.

Can I get the coffee on my order pre-ground?
For individual 12oz and 5lb bags, you can select the grind size to match your preferred brewing method on the item's product page. Trios and bundles, however, are sold exclusively as whole bean unless otherwise specified.

How long does Caffe Vita stay fresh? When was my coffee roasted?
Our production facilities fulfill orders as they come in, so your coffee will always be freshly roasted that week. If you store your coffee in a cool, dry place out of sunlight, the integrity of your coffee will last for 6 months.

I can't find my favorite coffee. Where did it go?
Most of our single origin coffees are seasonally limited, so those are frequently rotated in and out of stock. Our staple collection of blends should be available year-round, however, supply chain disruptions can impact availability of our offerings. If you're not seeing your desired coffee, please send your inquiry to shop@caffevita.com.

Are any of your coffees flavored?
No. We do not add any flavorings, such as vanilla, to our coffees during or after the roasting process. Flavors listed on our labels are indicative of the coffee's natural tasting notes. Any desired syrups, spices, or flavorings will need to be added after you brew.

Is Caffe Vita coffee vegan and/or gluten-free?
Yes. All of our coffees are vegan and gluten-free.

Are any of the coffees Kosher certified?
Yes. All of our coffees are certified Kosher with the exception of our cold brew cans.

Is Caffe Vita coffee Arabica or Robusta?
Every coffee we offer is Arabica and hand-selected by our Coffee Director and U.S. Barista Champion, Sam Spillman.
