Product Information
Concerned About Expired Products?
We take great pride in updating and organizing our inventory to ensure all expiration dates are accurately listed on our website.
Since many of our products are imported, the format of expiration dates may differ from what you're accustomed to in your home country, which can sometimes lead to confusion or the mistaken belief that products have expired.
To help clarify, here are the common expiration date formats you may encounter:
USA
MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY
International
DD/MM/YYYY or DD/MM/YY
YY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM/DD
Products from China do not have expiration dates. Instead, they display the production date, and the factory provides an estimated shelf life for each item.
We hope this clears up any confusion, and we're always here to help if you have any questions!
Orders & Returns
Do you accept exchanges & returns?
Food items: Can’t be returned for safety reasons.
Non-perishable items: Exchanges are welcome! You just cover the return shipping, and once we get the item with a tracking number, we’ll process your exchange.
Damaged or wrong items:
If something arrives damaged or isn’t what you ordered, you can request a refund, store credit, or replacement—as long as we have it in stock.
We want your experience to be smooth and stress-free, and we appreciate your understanding! 💛
How can I cancel or change my order?
No worries—we’ve got you! If your order hasn’t shipped yet, you can simply email us at hello@shopsoutheats.com or send a text to (401)-400-0310. Please provide your order number, email and or full name so we can find it quickly and help you out.
Want to make a change instead? We can absolutely update your order! If there’s an extra balance, we’ll send you an updated invoice. If we owe you a refund, we’ll take care of sending the difference back to you.
Do I need an account to place an order?
Not at all! You can totally check out as a guest. But here’s a little secret, creating an account is super quick, free, and makes future shopping a breeze.
Plus, we’re rolling out some fun perks soon, like loyalty points that add up to bigger savings and sometimes even surprise treats on us. The more points you collect, the more we can spoil you!
How do I track my order?
Once your order is on its way, we’ll send you an email with your tracking number so you can follow along every step of the journey. Make sure your shipping address and email are correct—that way, your goodies arrive right on time! Just a heads-up: once your order leaves our hands, it’s in the carrier’s care, so we don’t have control over it during transit.
How can I return a product?
Please refer to this page for information on how you can return a product.
What if my order arrived damaged?
Oh no—we’re so sorry if that happens! Please reach out to us as soon as you can and send along some pictures of the damaged item(s). You can email us at hello@shopsoutheats.com or send us a text at (401)-400-0310. We’ll make it right with a replacement, store credit, or a full refund, whichever works best for you. Your satisfaction is our top priority!
Is buying online safe?
Absolutely! Your privacy and security are super important to us. We don’t store your credit card information, and all payments are fully encrypted, so your transaction is completely secure. Shop with peace of mind—you’re in good hands!
What if my package is lost?
Oh no—your package didn’t arrive? We totally get how frustrating that can be! If your tracking says “delivered” but it hasn’t shown up, please check with neighbors, building management, or your local post office first. Often, packages turn up sooner than expected.
Quick heads-up: Claims need to be reported within 24 hours of delivery. If you wait too long, we might not be able to offer a refund.
Carrier Investigations: We can only issue refunds after the carrier completes their investigation. If the issue is escalated before that, we unfortunately cannot process a refund.
When refunds happen:
- Carrier’s mistake: Full refund. 🎉
- Buyer oversight: No refund (like wrong address or missed pickup). We’re humans too, and we can’t cover losses caused by things outside our control.
What happens if the carrier lost my package?
Customers are given option to purchase insurance during checkout.
