(b) GardenGrocer's employees, agents or designees will shop and deliver grocery orders placed with GardenGrocer.com. Delivery will be made to the address specified by you, the Member when the order is placed. Shipping or delivery information incorrectly stated in the order may cause a delay of up to two days in delivery. The cost of a second delivery due to incorrect address information is $20 and it shall be the purchaser's responsibility. Please check all shipping information carefully, especially zip code information.

(c) Full payment for groceries and associated shopping and delivery fees is due prior to or at the time of delivery if the C.O.D. (cash on delivery) option is chosen at the time the order is placed. You, the Member are responsible for ensuring that someone will be present at the delivery address to receive and, if the order is to be handled as a C.O.D. (cash on delivery), pay for the delivery on the scheduled day/time. You must allow a two (2) hour window of time for these deliveries. If this is not possible, you must notify us when the order is placed. If no one is present at the designated delivery date/time and a second delivery is necessary, you will be charged a $20 fee.

(d) If you wish to have us leave the order "unattended", you must give us specific delivery directions at the time the order is placed. If you have chosen to have us leave an order unattended, and as long as we have followed your written directions, we are not responsible for damage or theft of these unattended orders.

(e) If GardenGrocer is responsible for missing a delivery day/time (beyond the two hour "window"), GardenGrocer is responsible for making the delivery on a date/time that is mutually agreed upon by both parties.
