Ordering & Delivery of Fresh

Check "Ready to Ship" Before You Order

Many fresh products on GFM are ready to ship within 1–2 weeks. We source some of the freshest and most hard-to-find fresh products for you — and that lead time can vary by product depending on the brands and importers we partner with.

Example: If your delivery cutoff is Monday and a product shows "ready to ship within 1 week," you need to place that order the Monday prior — not the same week.

Fresh Collection FAQ

📋 General

Can I mix fresh and dry goods in one order?
Yes. Fresh and dry items can be ordered together and will be delivered or shipped together where possible.
What is catch weight pricing?
Non-retail, foodservice products are priced by their final catch weight at fulfillment. If the actual weight differs from what's shown at checkout, you'll receive an email with the details and your account will be credited or charged for the difference accordingly.
Do you accept returns on fresh products?
No. Due to the perishable nature of fresh items, all fresh sales are final. If you have a question about a product before ordering, call us at 877-222-4361 — we're available seven days a week.
Why aren't best-before dates listed on fresh products?
We source fresh products the moment you order — going directly to our importers and brand partners to get you the freshest product possible. Because we're not pulling from warehoused inventory, best-before dates are confirmed at the time of shipping or delivery rather than listed in advance.

Is there a fresh product minimum for local delivery?
No. There is no fresh product minimum for local delivery orders.
How is fresh kept cold on local deliveries?
All local fresh deliveries are made via refrigerated van to maintain the cold chain from our warehouse to your door across all three routes.

📦 Parcel Shipping
