nuancebay Order & Shipping Policy

---

Welcome to nuancebay. We are committed to getting your grocery and kitchen essentials to you safely and on time. The following policy explains exactly how we handle orders, shipping, and delivery, so you know what to expect at every stage — from the moment you check out to the moment your package arrives at your door.

Order Processing & Dispatch

• Standard Non-Perishable Orders: Orders are packed and handed off to the carrier within 1–2 business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays).
• Order Cut-Off Time: Orders submitted before 2:00 PM EST on a business day are typically processed the same day. Orders placed after 2:00 PM EST, or on weekends, are processed on the next business day.
• Perishable Goods Handling: Temperature-sensitive and perishable items are packaged using specialized cold-chain insulation and are dispatched Monday through Thursday only, so they are not held in transit over the weekend.

International Shipping

nuancebay ships to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and select European Union countries.

• Estimated Transit Time: 7–14 business days after dispatch.

Order Tracking & Delivery Confirmation

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an automated shipping confirmation email with a direct tracking link and carrier details.

If your tracking information has not updated, or you have not received a tracking number within 3 business days of your order confirmation, please contact our support team with your order number.

Order Modifications & Address Changes

To keep dispatch times fast, order processing begins shortly after your order is placed.

• If you need to change your shipping address or modify your order, please contact us within 1 hour of placing your order at support@nuancebay.top.
• We will make every effort to honor change requests, but once an order has been handed to the shipping carrier, we are unable to modify the shipping address.

Damaged, Lost, or Compromised Shipments

We stand behind every order we deliver:

• Perishable Items: If a perishable item arrives compromised, spoiled, or damaged due to shipping delays, notify us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we will issue a full refund or send a free replacement right away.
• Lost or Damaged Packages: If your tracking shows delivery but you have not received your package, or if items arrive damaged, please contact us within 7 days of delivery.
