Placing Your Order for Delivery
Orders are accepted via telephone/e-mail/fax Monday through Thursday, 5:00 am to 2:00 pm, and via the web 24 hours a day. Orders are typically shipped the next day from when your order is placed; example (Monday deliveries need to have an order submitted by end of day Sunday). The exception to this rule is for Tuesday deliveries: they will need to have an order submitted by end of day Sunday. Due to next day delivery, these orders are processed with Monday’s deliveries. Any orders placed after 3:00pm aren’t guaranteed for next day delivery.

Returns and Replacements
We want you to be completely happy with your order.

Please contact us ahead of time for any returns. *A reasonable amount of returns is considered less than 2% of purchases. If returns exceed 2% for reasons other than defective product or customer returns, then a 10% restocking fee may be charged on returned items.*
Outdated product is not eligible for return. To return slow-moving product that you think may go out of date, please contact us at least three months before expiration. We may be able to help you sell it with coupons or discounts. If you would like to return your close-dated product, please arrange for pick up if you are along our delivery route, otherwise, please arrange transport of the product to our location.
Frozen raw products are not eligible for return due to the nature of the product. Once frozen raw products have been accepted and have left our control, credits will not be issued. Frozen raw products must be checked at the time of delivery; the 24-hour call in rule does not apply to frozen raw products.
For customer returns, please fill in and submit our customer return form. Customer Return Form must be completely filled out to receive credit. We will notify you about product handling. To receive credit for customer returned products, please mail or hand deliver to a VPFS representative.
Wholesale Pricing and Discounts
Pricing
VPFS has three wholesale pricing levels; Wholesale Pricing Level 1 (W1), Level 2 (W2), and Level 3 (W3). Dependent upon order total and product type, you will fall into one of these levels. Each level has different pricing, the greatest discounts associated with Level 3. Please use the following wholesale pricing structure to determine your pricing level. W2 and W3 levels take their discounts off the W1 base pricing. Purchase levels are reviewed quarterly to determine eligibility for your pricing level. If you are unsure which level applies to you and your business, or have any questions about the wholesale pricing levels, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
| Wholesale Pricing Level 1 | Annual Purchases up to $17,999 |
