Shipping & Returns Policy

Ordering and Shipping Information

Chocolate or chocolate covered items are never guaranteed not to melt, especially in the summer.
Please keep this in mind before ordering as we cannot do anything about melted or bloomed (white residue formed after melting) chocolate.

Ordering Information

To place an order, choose one of the following methods:

  • Enter your order directly on the web. We provide a “shopping cart” to allow you to select products as you browse our website. When checking out, we provide a secure SSL session to protect your privacy including credit card information. You can order by phone at 818-505-9499. We currently only deliver within the U.S
  • Tofu Shirataki Noodles in 10 packs and 20 packs have the shipping included already in the price which is USPS priority(2-3days generally) except in California, NV, AZ which will probably be fedex ground. If only ordering the 10 or 20 packs of shirataki noodles, during checkout, choose the free shipping option(shipping not free but keeps you from being charged twice during checkout). If ordering other items along with a 10 or 20 pack of shirataki noodles, shipping will be charged but only on the non shirataki noodle items which will be shipped separately from the noodles.

Fed Ex does not deliver to P.O. boxes so you must list a valid street address with your order. Orders from the East & south east coast take about 5 business days by ground, from the midwest of the country 3-4 days and west coast 1-2 days.

Other shipping methods are available such as Fed Ex Next-Day or Two-Day delivery. You pay shipping costs for these methods which is based on the weight and destination.

Please be aware that orders placed after 12:00 noon PST will usually go out the following business day.

We do NOT request or require a signature for Fed Ex deliveries, but we cannot force the driver to leave the package if no one is home. If you live in a relatively low crime area and the risk is small, the driver will usually leave the package at your door or other safe area, but it is solely up to your Fed Ex driver’s discretion whether or not to require a signature. This also applies to any special shipping instructions that you have asked us to include on your shipping label.

Fed Ex home delivery does deliver to residential addresses on Saturday but not Sunday. Do not include these days when estimating your expected delivery date. UPS GROUND only delivers Monday-Friday

Although Monday-Fro if you order before noon PST we will typically ship the same day. There is no guarantee that your order will go out the day you order. If you have specified a One, Two, or Three Day delivery and are placing the order after 12:00 noon PST, it is likely your order will be shipped the following business day.

Summer Shipping Policy(May 1st-Oct 20th)

We do not accept returns on melted candy or chocolate. We can never guarantee that these items will not melt or bloom(white residue formed after melting) If ordering products that could melt or spoil, we would recommend ordering during the beginning of the week so that your perishables do not sit in a hot warehouse all weekend. If you order Great Low Carb Bread Company 65 calorie bagels and do not choose the correct shipping method(2-3 days from California), we will not credit or replace your spoiled items.

Sales Tax

Currently, only California residents are subject to sales tax collected by Locarbu. Nutritional products are currently non-taxable items, so only items such as books, magazines, videos, soda, supplements will be taxed.

Damages and Shortages

Merchandise damaged during shipping or shortages (missing items) must be reported to Locarbu within 24 hours of receipt. We will contact the shipping company for visual inspection of the merchandise and box. We will then issue you credit for the amount of any confirmed damaged or missing merchandise. If there is an item missing from your order, please make sure that it isn’t coming in a separate package as is the case with tofu shirataki noodles.We do not accept returns on melted candy/chocolate or bread items if you do not choose the expedited shipping. If you think your order is damaged, do not just throw it away, we have to have the package picked up in some cases in order to get credit and reship to you. See summer shipping policy

If you think something is wrong with the product, we’ll gladly exchange it for the same product. No returns on the Shirataki Noodles allowed. If you haven’t tried them before, please only buy a small amount, just in case you don’t like them. We do not allow any nutrition bars to be returned for credit. We sell most bars individually so that they can be tried without buying a full box. A valid return authorization number must be on the shipping label or we will refuse the package. Full credit will be issued for unopened merchandise returned within 10 days of your receipt of shipment. A 25% restocking fee will be applied to returns after 10 days.

Back Orders

We regularly stock every item we carry. Although every attempt is made to maintain inventory of each product we carry, occasionally we may run out of certain products. In this case, we will mark the product “out of stock” on our website. If any product is not in stock for an order, we will hold off shipment of your entire order until all products are available.
