ACORN SQUASH (PREORDER)

Selection

• Acorn squash is firm and heavy for its size.
• The skin is smooth and dull with no soft spots or bruises. Shiny rind indicates an immature acorn squash.
• A mix of green and orange colors is preferred. As the acorn squash ripens, the skin turns dark green.

Storage

• Acorn squash should be stored at 50°F - 55°F (10°C - 13°C) with a relative humidity of fifty to seventy percent and no mist.
• The typical shelf life is five to eight weeks. Extremely low humidity may lead to excess weight loss and flesh deterioration.
• Acorn squash is not sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening, and produces a low amount of ethylene. However, acorn squash with bruises and cuts greatly increases ethylene production.
• Acorn squash is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 50°F (10°C). Symptoms include loss of flavor and sunken pits of the surface.

Our commitment to freshness means we have high inventory turnovers. We receive tons of new replenishment items daily. Pricing is updated constantly to ensure that we are competitive and current with the market.

We will guarantee pricing 24 hours prior to your delivery or pick up date. 

For example:

If you place an order on Monday for delivery or pick up on Friday, we will confirm your order with pricing adjustments on Thursday. A sales confirmation email will be sent to you with updated price and quantities once your order is ready for pick up or dispatched for delivery.

Generic Brand

The generic brand is a placeholder for our new inventory, typically arriving the next day. There is a $20 deposit upon order placement to reserve the item. Our team will be in contact to confirm and adjust pricing as needed. 

Substitutions

In the event that the brand you ordered is out of stock, we will substitute with an equal or greater value item. We may reach out to you if we have questions. If you have any special requests in regards to substitutions, please list them on your order in the "Notes for the seller" section. All items and quantities that are updated will be reflected in your final sales confirmation.

Preorder Items

Preorder items are available 1 business day after order placement Monday - Friday and pending availability on Saturdays. There is a $20 deposit upon order placement to reserve the item. Otherwise, today’s selling price will be shown. Our team will be in contact to confirm availability Monday - Friday and adjust pricing as needed.

Returns & Refunds

Since we are dealing with perishables, time is always of the essence.

1. Please inspect products for quality and quantity upon delivery.
2. Please return any unwanted items to the driver at the time of delivery.
3. Once the return items have reached our facility, we will examine the items. The product must be in the same condition that you received it - unused, and in its original packaging in order to qualify for a full refund. Purvey’d reserve the right to apply a restocking fee of 100% of the item price if the item is not in its original condition.
4. Any approved refunds will be issued via your original form of payment before the end of the next business day. Please refer to your bank’s processing times.

*Preorder Items can only be returned to our driver immediately upon delivery.

If you've missed the driver, please contact us at support@purveyd.com within 24 hours of your delivery.

Claims

Any claims for damages and product issues MUST be made within 24 hours upon receipt of merchandise. Claims or returns after 24 hours of delivery will be honored only at the sole discretion of the Purvey’d support team.

Please inspect your order upon receipt. If the item is defective, damaged, or not the item you ordered, please contact us at support@purveyd.com as soon as possible. 

Any pricing adjustments made must be approved via e-mail; otherwise, changes will not be accepted.

Exchanges

Exchanges for an identical item during pick up can be immediately accommodated, pending availability of that item.

Exchanges on deliveries cannot be accommodated and should be treated as a return. Please contact us within 24 hours of your delivery at support@purveyd.com.

The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the unwanted item, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
