🚚 Shipping & Delivery

Q: What are my shipping options and costs?
A: We offer two transparent options to fit your timeline:
  • ⚡ Standard Shipping (Recommended for Speed): $12.95 flat rate via DHL or FedEx. Your order arrives 10-15 days after it leaves our warehouse. Perfect when you have a brew day scheduled.
  • 🎁 Free Shipping (For the Patient Planner): FREE on all orders over $50 via EMS. Delivery takes 15-25 days after shipment. Ideal for stocking up on staples like Cleaning & Sanitation supplies or Additives & Spices.
All orders are processed and packed with care within 1-2 business days.
Q: Where do you ship to?
A: We proudly ship worldwide to our global community of fermenters! From Chicago to Sydney, we’ve got you covered. (We currently cannot reach a handful of extremely remote areas—if you’re unsure about your location, just ask at [email protected]).
Q: How do I track my order?
A: As soon as your order is on its way, you’ll receive a “Shipped” notification email with a tracking number. You can use this to follow your Beer Yeast or Kegging gear on its journey to your brewery (aka your kitchen, garage, or basement).
Q: Are there any extra fees for international orders?
A: For orders outside the United States, any applicable customs fees or import taxes are the responsibility of the recipient. We declare all packages accurately as “Home Brewing Supplies” to ensure a smooth customs process.
