Frequently Asked Questions:


What is your Guarantee of Satisfaction?
At World Harvest, we know our food, so we guarantee it. We guarantee that from the moment you open your box until the last bite you take, you will know that we have spend the time and research to locate good food wherever it may be hiding and get it on your table. If you encounter any problems (and we mean any) with any of our products, our customer service, or shipping, simply give us a call at (573) 442-3833 and we will try to make it right for you. Even if you order something that you did not like, just let us know as we will do anything it takes to make it right for you.

If we issue a refund and a shipping label to you because you asked for a refund, we wait 2 weeks before taking any other measure.  If, by 2 weeks, the package still has not started on its way from your location, we will re-charge the credit card and inform you of that decision.  When the package reaches our location again, the credit card will be refunded minus a $2.00 service charge for each extra transaction.  Although 99.99% of people are genuinely good, there are some out there who try to take advantage of our kindness and guarantee of satisfaction, and this is our way of making sure we are not taken advantage of. 

What is your backorder policy?
We carry over 7000 items that are ordered from every region of the world, and, for this reason, it is the nature of the business that we may not always have every item in stock every time. If there ever comes a time where we will have to backorder something for you, we will send an email informing you of the item(s) that are backordered. If we backorder something, we will pay the shipping charges for the backordered item(s). It’s our fault we are out, so why should you have to pay shipping twice? We will not charge your card until the backordered items come into our warehouse and we are able to ship it to you.

What times are you open?
Monday – Saturday, 10:00 am to 8:00 pm
We are closed on Fridays from 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Sunday, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm

Every Saturday between Noon and 5:00 pm, we also offer free samples of cheeses, olives, vinegars, honey, chocolates, and many other foods from all around the world. So, stop by and see what food you’ve been missing for a long time!

What are your shipping charges and policies?
We will ship orders valued at $100 or more for free, provided they do not include any cheeses or perishable items in the hot months.  In the cooler months, however, cheeses and perishable items will ship for free.  We will use the latest insulation methods available and make sure to put enough ice packs necessary to make your shipment arrive safely.  For orders under $100, the computer will calculate the ground shipping charges, but we will contact you if the package needs a faster method of shipping.   For more information, please see our shipping page
