How do I place an order?

At Specialty World Foods we strive to make your shopping experience as easy and secure as possible. To place an order through the website, browse the site and add the items to your cart. Once you have finished shopping simply go to Cart page, confirm the items you would like to order, choose the method of shipping you would like and continue to payment. If you are happy with your order, confirm the payment and the item(s) will be sent out as quickly as possible.

You can also order by telephone. Call us 404-419-6288 ext. 101. Lines are open 9 am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

Can I change my order once placed?

Yes! However, where possible we aim to dispatch packages the same day the order is received, so please make sure you’re quick. Sadly we cannot amend an order once it has been dispatched. If there are any items you’ve forgotten, please send us an email, or call us to check that your order hasn’t yet left us, and then we may well be able to put the additional order through without charging you a second delivery charge.

How do I know if my order was successful?

If your order is successful you will receive an automated email to confirm your order has been received, and is being processed. This means the payment was successful, however if an item is unexpectedly not in stock, or we see there may be a security issue with the payment, we will contact you as soon as possible to resolve the situation. You will receive a second email when your item(s) have been sent out.

If you think you have placed an order, but have not received any emails from us, please call or email us to confirm we have received your order. It might be something as simple as the order going through correctly, but an error in entering your email address. However very occasionally an order might not come through to us for another reason. It’s always worth checking, especially if you need the items quickly.

What if my order is incorrect?

If you have noticed that there has been a mistake with your order, please contact us e-mail at sales@specialtyworldfoods.com, or by phone, 404-419-6288 ext. 101. Please try to include your order reference, and we’ll make sure we sort it out as quickly as we can.

SHIPPING

When will I know my order has been shipped?

We send an email confirming shipment towards the end of the day that your parcel leaves our distribution center. The email will let you know the items sent, the address they have been sent to, and a tracking number where appropriate.

How much is shipping and how long will it take?

Please see our Delivery page.

My order is small – do I still have to pay for delivery?

Yes but shipping is free if you spend $75 or more so continue shopping!

Does Specialty World Foods ship to multiple addresses?

We can ship to addresses other than the cardholder’s address, but we only ship to one address per order. If you would like items in your order to be shipped to multiple locations, you will need to place separate orders for each address.

Can I change my delivery address once the order has been shipped?

We are unable to redirect orders to a different address after dispatch. Please therefore ensure you provide a correct and suitable shipping address for the specified delivery times. However, if you realize very soon after you place the order that the address is incorrect (or incomplete!) please contact us. E-mail at sales@specialtyworldfoods.com, or by phone, 404-.419-6288 ext. 101. and we will do all we can to help.

Is my package insured?

All items are insured against theft and accidental damage while in transit to the shipping address. Once your items have been delivered to the specified delivery address and signed for, they are no longer covered by our insurance.

If your package is damaged upon arrival, we recommend that you either refuse the delivery, or make a note when signing for it that you are accepting a damaged package.
