Thank you for choosing sparkbay. We are committed to getting your grocery and kitchen essentials to you safely and efficiently. The information below explains exactly how we handle order processing, shipping, and delivery so you know what to expect at every stage.

Order Processing & Dispatch

• Standard Non-Perishable Orders: Orders are prepared and handed off to our carriers within 1–2 business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays).
• Order Cut-Off Time: Orders submitted before 2:00 PM EST on a business day are generally processed that same day. Orders received after 2:00 PM EST, or on weekends, are processed on the next business day.
• Perishable Goods Handling: Temperature-sensitive and perishable products are packaged using specialized cold-chain insulation and are shipped Monday through Thursday only, so they are not held in transit over the weekend.
