MercadoHub Store Official Store Policy

About Us

MercadoHub Store was established around a simple conviction: the grocery and kitchenware market is crowded with items branded as premium, natural, or handcrafted that are designed primarily for shelf appeal rather than for genuine quality, durability, or responsible production. We chose to do things differently by cultivating direct, lasting partnerships with small-scale farmers, artisan food producers, regional manufacturers, and kitchenware makers who share our dedication to ingredient integrity, sound construction, and enduring value.

Each item in our catalog — from pantry staples and specialty foods to long-lasting kitchen essentials — undergoes a personal evaluation for safety, quality, and consistency with our standards before it becomes available to our customers. We handle the vetting and sourcing work ourselves so that you can shop with confidence, without any guesswork on your part.

Our Mission

MercadoHub Store — Store Policies

Our Mission

MercadoHub Store exists to make sourcing trustworthy grocery and kitchen essentials genuinely effortless. When a product carries our premium designation, that label reflects verified ingredient quality, responsible production practices, careful craftsmanship, and proven longevity — never a padded price tag or empty marketing language. Customers across the United States rely on us for honest curation, and we treat that trust as the foundation of every decision we make.

Shipping Policy

MercadoHub Store proudly ships to physical addresses throughout the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days of payment confirmation, and you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your package leaves our fulfillment center. Standard shipping is offered at a flat rate of USD 5.99 per order, with delivery typically completed within 3–7 business days after dispatch. Orders of USD 75.00 or more qualify for free standard shipping. Expedited shipping is available at USD 14.99 per order and generally arrives within 2–3 business days after dispatch. We partner with major domestic carriers, and every shipment includes end-to-end tracking so you always know where your order stands. If a package is delayed beyond the estimated window, contact us and we will investigate promptly and make it right.

Return Policy

We want you to be fully confident in every purchase from MercadoHub Store. If a product does not meet your expectations, you may request a return within 30 days of delivery for a refund or exchange. Items must be unused and in their original packaging; for food and perishable goods, we ask that you contact us before returning anything so we can address quality concerns directly — in many cases we will issue a refund without requiring the item back. To start a return, email our support team with your order number, and we will provide a prepaid return label for defective or incorrect items at no cost to you. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days after we receive and inspect the returned item. Nothing in this policy limits your rights under applicable United States federal and state consumer protection laws.

Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal information is a responsibility MercadoHub Store takes seriously. We collect only the data necessary to process orders, fulfill shipments, and improve your shopping experience — including your name, shipping address, email address, and payment details. All payment transactions are encrypted and handled through PCI DSS-compliant payment processors; MercadoHub Store never stores full card numbers on our servers. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. Data is shared only with trusted service partners such as shipping carriers and payment processors, strictly to complete your order. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting our privacy team, and we will respond in accordance with applicable United States privacy regulations.

Terms of Service

By placing an order with MercadoHub Store, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and that the information you provide is accurate and complete. All prices are listed in USD and are subject to change without prior notice; the price displayed at the time of checkout is the price that applies to your order. Product availability is not guaranteed until your order is confirmed, and we may cancel an order — with a full refund — if an item becomes unavailable or if we suspect fraudulent activity. These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which MercadoHub Store is registered, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from your use of our store or services shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction. We encourage you to reach out to our customer care team first — most concerns can be resolved quickly and amicably. Continued use of the MercadoHub Store website constitutes acceptance of these terms as they may be updated from time to time.

What We Stand For

MercadoHub Store — Store Policies

What We Stand For

Honest Sourcing: MercadoHub Store partners directly with independent producers and manufacturers, and we disclose the complete origin of our food ingredients, packaging materials, and product components wherever that information is available. You will not find concealed supply chains or vague "sourced from multiple locations" disclaimers in our product listings.

No Empty Claims: Every sustainability, organic, non-GMO, fair trade, and allergen-related statement we make is supported by third-party certifications and documentation that can be verified. Whenever we are unable to confirm a claim through independent means, we simply do not make that claim.

Real Customer Service: Each inquiry we receive — whether it concerns product sourcing, dietary compatibility, order status, or usage guidance — is answered by a member of our in-house team. MercadoHub Store does not rely on automated reply templates, does not outsource support, and does not route customers through unqualified staff.

Hassle-Free Returns: MercadoHub Store provides 30-day, no-questions-asked returns on all eligible non-perishable grocery items and kitchenware. When perishable goods arrive damaged, spoiled, or past their expiration date, we issue an immediate full refund or send a free replacement, with no return shipment required. If something is not right, we will make it right.

Shipping Policy

MercadoHub Store ships to street addresses throughout the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. We do not ship to P.O. boxes for orders containing perishable items, and we currently do not offer international delivery.

Processing Times: Orders are verified and packed within 1–2 business days after payment confirmation. Orders placed on weekends or federal holidays begin processing on the next business day. Perishable items are packed with insulated materials and cold packs to preserve freshness during transit.

Shipping Rates and Delivery Estimates (all amounts in USD):

Shipping Method	Delivery Estimate	Rate
Standard Shipping	3–7 business days after processing	$5.99 (free on orders of $50.00 or more)
Expedited Shipping	2–3 business days after processing	$14.99
Perishable Overnight Shipping	Next business day after processing	$24.99

Order Tracking: As soon as your order leaves our fulfillment center, MercadoHub Store emails you a tracking number and a link to follow your package in real time. You can also view tracking details anytime in your account dashboard. If tracking has not updated within 3 business days of your shipment confirmation, contact us and our team will investigate with the carrier on your behalf.

Delivery Issues: If a package is marked as delivered but you cannot locate it, please check with neighbors and your building's mail area first, then contact us within 7 days of the delivery scan. For packages lost or damaged in transit, MercadoHub Store will arrange a replacement or a full refund at no cost to you.

Returns and Refunds Policy

MercadoHub Store wants you to shop with confidence, and our return process is designed to be simple and fair, consistent with United States consumer protection standards.

Non-Perishable Grocery Items and Kitchenware: You may return eligible items within 30 days of delivery for any reason. Items should be unused and, where applicable, in their original packaging. To start a return, email our support team with your order number and the item you wish to return; we will send you a prepaid return label and clear instructions. Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 5–10 business days after we receive and inspect the returned item.

Perishable Goods: If perishable items arrive damaged, spoiled, or past their expiration date, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and a photo of the affected items. We will issue a full refund or ship a free replacement immediately — no return shipment is required.

Order Errors and Damaged Shipments: If you receive an incorrect item or a product damaged in transit, notify us within 7 days of delivery. MercadoHub Store covers all costs associated with the correction, including replacement shipping.

Non-Returnable Items: For health and safety reasons, opened perishable food items that arrived in good condition, and gift cards, cannot be returned. This does not affect your rights regarding defective, damaged, or misdescribed products.

Refund Timing: Once your refund is approved, please allow 5–10 business days for your bank or card issuer to post the credit. If you have not received your refund within that window, contact us and we will trace it for you.

These Terms of Service govern your use of the MercadoHub Store website and your purchases from us. By placing an order, you confirm that you have read and accept these terms.

Orders and Acceptance: When you submit an order, you make an offer to purchase. MercadoHub Store confirms acceptance only when we send a shipping confirmation. We may decline or cancel an order — with a full refund — if an item is unavailable, if pricing or product information contains a clear error, or if we suspect fraudulent activity.

Manufacturer formulations and packaging can change; always read the actual product label before use, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. If a product you receive differs materially from its description, contact us and we will make it right.

Supplementary Operational Policies

Product Quality & Safety Policy

Every food product offered by MercadoHub Store satisfies or surpasses the safety requirements established by the USDA and FDA. For both our private-label goods and third-party food items, we carry out randomized batch testing to verify quality and label accuracy, and any product that falls short of our standards is withdrawn from our catalog without delay. Before any kitchenware is made available for purchase, it undergoes testing for food safety and durability. To help you make well-informed buying decisions, we provide clear labeling on all products that includes ingredient lists, allergen warnings, best-by dates, and storage instructions.

Shipping & Delivery Policy

Orders containing non-perishable items are dispatched within 1–2 business days after the order is placed. Perishable and temperature-sensitive products are sent through expedited cold-chain delivery within 24 hours of order placement, and tracking information is provided for every order. We stand behind delivery windows for all perishable orders: should a delivery be missed, or should a perishable item arrive compromised because of shipping delays, we will provide a full refund or a free replacement at no cost to you.

Allergen & Dietary Information Policy

For every product, we publish clear and accurate labeling on the product page covering all common allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame) as well as dietary attributes (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, keto-friendly, and similar designations). Although we follow rigorous procedures to prevent cross-contamination at our fulfillment center, our facilities do handle common allergens. Customers with severe allergies should therefore review product labels carefully and reach out to our team with specific questions before making a purchase.

Privacy & Data Policy

We gather only the personal information required to fulfill your order and assist you with your needs, and we do not sell your data or share it with third-party marketers under any circumstances. All payment information is encrypted and handled by PCI-compliant payment processors, safeguarding your financial data.
