Each of our sellers uses a specific shipper, either UPS or FedEx. We ship to all 50 states and offer three options, GROUND, 2-DAY, 1-DAY. Please note that FedEx and UPS do not ship to P.O. boxes and we do not ship directly to APO/FPO addresses. LOGOS & EMBROIDERY NOTE: Shipments containing logos or line embroidery will require an additional 7-10 business days for processing before it ships.

We accept all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. You can also redeem and use your Cooking District Gift Card balance towards an order.

If there is a discrepancy with a "Pending" order, you may cancel it at anytime by opening the order and clicking the "Cancel" button. Orders cannot be cancelled by the customer once the status has been changed to "Being Processed" or "Shipped."

You may return new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund*. Items should be returned in their original product packaging to the return address on your packing slip. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error. You should expect to receive your refund within two weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days). We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item. * Embroidered items cannot be returned unless there was an error by the manufacturer.

Sales tax will be calculated only for orders being shipped to addresses within New York State. Food items are exempt from the state and local sales taxes. Clothing items under $110 per item are exempt from the New York State 4% sales tax, but specific local county and city sales tax rates may still apply. These custom state and local rates are automatically applied during the checkout process. You can get an quick sales tax estimate in the shopping cart, but this does not factor in the tax on shipping (if applicable).
