Purchase and Delivery Terms
- Local Delivery (Northern California only)
- General Terms of Delivery
- You are not physically required to be present during delivery. You will receive a notification via text message prior to delivery and at the time of delivery and we will leave the package at your door, or at other locations such as mailroom or leasing office if instructed to do so by you. In the case that we are unable to deliver to your address, e.g. due to incorrect address or a locked gate, we will try to contact you via the cell phone number provided by you. If we are unable to contact you and resolve the delivery issue within five minutes the package will be taken back to our warehouse. Please note that any perishable items that would be spoiled in a failed delivery attempt due to insufficient information provided, including but not limited to mobile number or gate codes, are non-refundable. Further, a handling fee of 20.0% will be subtracted from the refund if the order is canceled after a failed delivery. In the case of a redelivery being requested, our standard delivery fee of $9 applies. Please note that failed deliveries due to incorrect address being written down by you as a shipping address are non-refundable.
- Available Delivery Dates and Times
- Available delivery dates for cities in Northern California can be seen on the map below. In some cases your computer settings or a Ploma system error might allow you to pick a delivery date for which we do not have a route to your location. In such cases, we will work with you to find another suitable date. If other dates are not suitable, we then reserve the right to cancel your order. Please note that it is not possible to select specific delivery timeslot within available delivery dates, as our deliveries are optimized everyday based upon the location and numbers in any given date.
- Delivery Arrivals and Delays
- In the case we are unable to deliver to you on the day you select, we will contact you and reschedule your delivery at our cost. You will receive a text message between 11 am and 12 am on the date of delivery with the estimated time of delivery. Please note that the estimated time of delivery is based on normal conditions and delays may occur for a number of reasons, e.g. due to unusual traffic or weather. You will receive a text message with an updated estimated time of delivery 30 minutes prior to the delivery and a final text message confirm the drop-off of your package post-delivery. We will contact you via text or email in the case of extreme delays.
