Terms of service
Chowking Nationwide Shipping Terms
Chowking strives to deliver its products in the best possible condition, but unfortunately there are some things outside of our control once the package is in the hands of the delivery company. Due to the perishable nature of Chowking’s products, all sales of products are final and no refunds, returns, exchanges, or cancellations are available. Refunds are only available in the event you receive the incorrect product. If you experience a quality-related issue with your order or product, please reach out to nwsorders@chowkingusa.com to speak with a Chowking representative about your concern.
All shipping options and costs are provided to customer at checkout. Customer will pay all shipping and handling charges as specified and selected by the customer during the checkout process. Customer is responsible for checking that all shipping information is accurately entered before completing an order. Deliveries to PO boxes are not permitted.
Shipping orders are typically fulfilled on business days Monday through Wednesday during normal business hours. If you place an order between a Thursday through Sunday, your order will not be processed for shipment until the following Monday through Wednesday. Products are only available for shipment in the contiguous United States. We do not offer shipment to Hawaii, Alaska, or internationally. Your shipping order will be subject to an additional $30 fee (in addition to any other shipping and handling charges imposed by the delivery company) if you request shipment to a delivery address in any of the following states: Alabama, Florida, Kansas, Montana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Oklahoma, Iowa, Texas, Washington, or Wyoming.
Chowking is unable to guarantee the date or time of delivery. Chowking recommends that the customer ensure someone is present at the delivery address on the expected delivery date to receive the products upon delivery. Chowking is not responsible for any loss or damage to products during transit or resulting from the delivery driver’s selection of where to leave the product at the delivery address. Chowking is not responsible for delays in transit caused by factors beyond Chowking’s control, including but not limited to holidays, weather conditions, strikes, natural disasters, inaccurate or incomplete shipping information, or any circumstances with the shipping carrier that may cause delays.
Chowking reserves the right to withdraw or change these terms and conditions at any time, at Chowking’s discretion, and without notice. While supplies last. © 2024 Chowking Food Corporation – USA. All rights reserved.
