SHIPPING & PACKAGING

We go the extra mile to keep your products safe and fresh, both during transit and after you’ve opened the packages.

Quick and efficient shipping is part of what makes Showroom great. The below applies to all orders within the US and Canada. For orders to other countries, you will not be charged shipping upon checkout since we need to quote rates manually.

Green Coffee

Green Coffee Packaging

All coffee products ship in sealed food-grade poly bags, labeled with the origin, lot name and processing method. The exact packaging depends on pack size:

2lb and 10lb: Stand-up, reclosable (zip) food-grade bags. To keep greens fresh after opening, simply reseal the zip.

33lb and 66lb: zip-tied food-grade poly bag, inside a sewn food-grade burlap sack for extra protection. To keep greens fresh after opening, twist the inner plastic liner, bend down the twist, and fasten the bend with a large clip or other clamp.  Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Canada may arrive split up into smaller bags (***see below).

“Full Bags”  (commonly 132.28 (60kg) or 152.12 (69kg), depending on the country of origin).  These are plastic-lined (Grainpro or Ecotact) burlap sacks, in the same form as they arrive from the producing country  – an added bonus since a lot folks like to collect the various designs painted on the bags in each country.  When we ship full bags via UPS Ground we will almost always add a second burlap for added protection (note that the extra burlap is often from a different lot/country …so don’t be surprised when the outer bags says something different from what you ordered).  For full bag orders including certain countries that supply coffee in 69kg or 70kg bags (e.g. Mexico and a few others), your order will arrive in two packages: 1) the full bag with a few pounds removed (and the bag and burlap re-sealed) and 2) a small box with a few pounds in a reclosable (zip) bag in a box (this is to stay under  UPS Ground’s strict 150lb per-package maximum). Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Canada may arrive split up into smaller bags (***see below).

To keep greens fresh after opening, twist the inner plastic liner, bend down the twist, and fasten the fold with a large clip or other clamp.

**WEIGHT LOSS ALLOWANCE/DISCLAIMER ON “FULL BAGS” (shipped to you in their original burlap/line packaging from the export origin):  Due to moisture loss between export in the growing country and the day you receive your full bags, weight of full burlap sacks may vary by 1%.  If your loss is more than 1% please contact us for a partial refund of the short weight over 1%.

***SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII, GUAM AND CANADA.  In order to offer low cost and quick shipping to our customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Canada, larger bags (33lb, 66lb and full bags) may be split up into smaller packs in order to fit into smaller boxes.

Green Coffee Shipping

Green coffee shipping rates are simple:  Any green coffee orders of 40lbs or more ship FREE within the US. Any green coffee orders under 40lbs ship at a low, flat rate of $6.99 in the US. Any green coffee orders of 60lbs or more ship FREE to Canada (excluding Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon)  Any green coffee orders under 60lbs ship at a low, flat rate of $18.99 to most of Canada (see below for more info on Canada shipping). If you’re in a rush, you can also choose to pay for Next-Day Air or 2nd-Day Air (UPS, charged at cost) during checkout.

For shipping to other countries, we will conatact you with a shipping quote after you place your order, or you can email us in advance for a shipping quote.

Unless another (paid) service is chosen, all free shipping or flat-rate shipping of green coffee will ship by UPS Ground, USPS Priority Mail or LTL truck.  The exact carrier may change based on your location, but, in general here’s how most green coffee usually ships:

  • up to 16 lbs green coffee via USPS Priority Mail
  • up to 300+/- lbs green coffee via UPS Ground
  • over 300+/- lbs green coffee via UPS Ground or LTL Trucking

“Full Bags”  (commonly 132.28 (60kg) or 152.12 (69kg), depending on the country of origin).  These are plastic-lined (Grainpro or Ecotact) burlap sacks, in the same form as they arrive from the producing country  – an added bonus since a lot folks like to collect the various designs painted on the bags in each country.  When we ship full bags via UPS Ground we will always add a second burlap for added protection (note that the extra burlap is often from a different lot/country …so don’t be surprised when the outer bags says something different from what you ordered). To keep greens fresh after opening, twist the inner plastic liner, bend down the twist, and fasten the fold with a large clip or other clamp.

***SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII, PUERTO RICO, GUAM AND CANADA.  In order to offer low cost and quick shipping to our customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and Canada, larger bags (33lb, 66lb and full bags) may be split up into smaller packs in order to fit into smaller boxes.   Additional shipping charges will likely apply on orders to the Canadian provinces of Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon; we will contact you with a rate before shipping to these provinces.

Seamless Canada shipping! Our green coffee prices and shipping rates include all customs brokerage and duties/taxes for entry into Canada.

Roasters and Supplies

Packaging

Tools and Supplies (cupping bowls, parts, etc) ship in reinforced cardboard boxes, with protection filler as needed.

Roasters ship in wood crates (Arc) or reinforced cardboard boxes (Huky).

Tools and Supplies Shipping

All tools and supplies ship free!

Tools and Supplies ship FREE via (mostly) UPS Ground or USPS within the US (if USPS, the service is usuall Priority Mail or Parcel Select). Some small parts and books may ship via USPS First Class Mail or USPS Media Mail.  Some but not all tools and supplies ship free to Canada – check the product’s page to see the shipping charge to Canada (even though the Shopping Cart says “Free Shipping” for some Canada orders we will apply shipping charges if noted on the product’s page).  If you order any tools or supplies alongside any green coffee, the green coffee shipping rule will apply to the entire order ($6.99 flat rate for orders under 40lbs green coffee (or $18.99 for Canada), or FREE for any orders with 40 or more pounds of green coffee).  Orders outside the US and Canada will be charged shipping at cost (we will send you a shipping quote after you place your order and you can either approve or cancel the order).

Some individual non-coffee items may require additional shipping (for example Nez du Cafe kits shipped to Canada) – such charges will be noted on the individual product pages.

Arc Roaster Shipping

Arc Roasters ship via LTL trucking or air freight. To get you the best rates and shipping speed we quote rates from over a dozen trucking companies and airlines when you place your order.  You will not be charged shipping upon checkout since we need to manually quote these rates (shipping cost will be charged to your card prior to shipment).  Arc shipping rates usually range between $200 and $450 for air freight or LTL within the US and Canada, $300-$400 for air freight to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and $400-$600 for air freight to Central America, The Carribean, Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador.  Shipping costs will increase for orders of multiple-barrel Arc S models.

We ship globally. Please visit our Global Shipping page for more information.

Shipping of in-stock Arc Roasters takes 2-7 days to bench test and prepare the crate before shipping.  Orders of Arc models not in stock or any special orders wait until our next delivery from our factory.  If you’re in a rush and you’ve ordered an Arc not in stock or a special order, we can also ship direct from our factory via air freight (usually $800-$1,200), which usually takes 2-4 weeks between date of order and delivery.

Huky Roaster Shipping

Huky Roasters ship free within the US and Canada. We ship Huky direct from the factory, via USPS Priority Mail.  Delivery takes 2-3 weeks from date of order.

LTL Trucking

For your and the product’s safety, we always book LTL deliveries with a liftgate included.   Trucking carriers will call in advance of delivery when delivering to residential locations, however, to commercial locations the call-ahead is not guaranteed.  To book with a guaranteed call-ahead please let us know when you place your order (this may incur an extra fee depending on the carrier).
