Can I shop without a credit card?
|
If you do not have a credit card, it is best to choose the pre-paid option, that way you wouldn't have to pay each time you want to order but rather the amount of your purchase would get deducted from your pre-paid credit. This can be arranged by either check, cash or money order.
Alternatively, you can transfer money direct into our account via internet or at a branch.
Please email us at customerservice@yumorganics.com for our account details and instructions on how to process your order.

|
Do I need to Sign In to shop?
|
|
No, but it does make it easier for future shops as your address can automatically be added next time.

Why is delivery so cheap?
|
|
To be honest it isn’t, we just decided that seeing as we don’t have to pay for people to stack the shelves, cashier staff or people to collect your trolley from the carpark, that we’d pass the savings on to you and subsidise the courier delivery costs.
|

How does delivery work?
|
When you place your order, you select a your delivery day, deliveries can be as early as the next day. A courier driver will deliver the order to your door (If you live in an apartment complex, please make sure our drivers can get into the building).
If you know you won’t be home, we recommend authorizing an alternate recipient in your building. If you live in a house you can give us specific instructions as to where you would like the box left.
Bad weather or other unforeseeable traffic emergencies may force us to delay the delivery on occasion. However this is extremely rare. If there is a significant delay, a customer service representative will call or e-mail to update you on your delivery status.

If you're not home on the day of delivery and there are no instructions where to leave your box, we will do our best to redeliver your order later the same day or the next day.(a $3.00 redelivery fee applies).
We'll always try to deliver your order directly to you. If your building has a reception area, you may authorize the receptionist to receive orders on your behalf. After your second order, we recommend selecting a neighbor in your building to receive your order in case you're not home when we arrive.

What is a Pre-Paid Account?
|
A Pre-Paid account is when a customer pre-pays for their groceries upfront and uses that credit to make purchases onlne or by phone.
The advantage of pre-paying is the FREE DELIVERY offered with any pre-paid account, not to mention the added FREE CREDIT we give you when you pre-pay.
For Example:
PRE-PAY $100, GET $5 FREE
PRE-PAY $200, GET $10 FREE
PRE-PAY $300, GET $15 FREE
The credit never expires and the more you pre-pay the cheaper your groceries become.
|
|
|
|
|
Hoe does the pre-paid system work?
|
When you purchase a pre-paid account and make a purchase, the amount comes off your re-paid amount.
For Example: If you pre-paid $100 up front and made a purchase for $50, your remaining balance left would be $60, $10 more because we give you that in free credit for pre-paying.
This also saves you having to pull out your credit card all the time. The credit never expires and gives you FREE DELIVERY ALWAYS.
|
|
|
|
|
Do I have to Pre-Pay?
|
No, this is an option. It is a preferred option for most of our customers because of the FREE DELIVERY and FREE CREDIT offered on these accounts, but it's by no means compulsory.
You may opt not to pre-pay and pay for delivery on top of your order. Delivery fee is only $5.50 which is charged along with your order.
|
|
|
|
|
How do I get FREE DELIVERY?
|
It's simple, just pre-pay for your purchases up front.
Check out our Pre-Pay Options.
|
|
|
|
|
What are the PRE-PAY OPTIONS?

Choose from:
$100, GET $5 FREE
