swiftbay Order & Shipping Policy

---

Thank you for choosing swiftbay. We are committed to getting your grocery and kitchen essentials to you safely and on time. The guidelines below explain exactly how we handle orders, what shipping options are available, and what you can expect from the moment you check out until your package arrives at your door.

Order Processing & Dispatch

• Standard Non-Perishable Orders: Orders are prepared and handed off to our carriers 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 generally processed the same day. Orders received after 2:00 PM EST, or on weekends, are handled on the next business day.
• Perishable Goods Handling: Items that require temperature control are packed using specialized cold-chain insulation and shipped only Monday through Thursday, so they are not left in transit over the weekend.
