ORDERING

Can I place an order by phone?
While we are happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have…we are strictly an online store, this helps us keep our overhead down so we can bring you the best possible prices. As such, all credit cards are processed through our website, so we would ask that you place your order through our secure shopping cart. This also helps to maintain maximum security for your identity and credit card information.

What are my payment options?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Amex.

How long will it take to get my order?
Assuming we have your item in stock, we will process your order in 24-48 hrs, Monday – Friday during business hours. Most orders are shipped within 1-2 days of order processing. We have a strong demand for our products, as such, on occasion we may come to be out of stock on an item. In that instance we are generally able to replenish our inventory within 1-3 weeks. We will of course advise you via email if this should occur with your order.

Will I be charged sales tax?
Sales tax of 7.25% will only be assessed if you live in the state of Illinois.

Do you have wholesale pricing for large quantity orders?
We do offer wholesale pricing on large volume orders for establishments such as hotels, spas, country clubs, etc. Please contact us at customerservice@greenearthbamboo.com to inquire about pricing.

How do I change or cancel my order?
If for some reason, after ordering you decide that you want to change or cancel your order…please have your email order confirmation at hand and call our customer care number (630) 445-8045 during our regular business hours: m-f 10am to 5pm (CST) Central Standard Time.

Do you send me an email confirmation after I order?
After you complete your shopping cart checkout you will receive an email confirmation with the details of your order. Once your order is shipped you will receive an email from us in which we will provide you a tracking number for your order. Nowadays you can enter your UPS tracking number directly into the Google search box and you will get the link to the UPS page that has your tracking number information.

How do I check the status of my order?
After you place your order with us, it will go through our processing department. Once your items are pulled and packaged, a tracking number will be assigned. You will then receive an email from us containing that tracking number. You can simply type that number in the Google search bar, and it will take you to the UPS page that has the information on your package.

If at the time of your purchase, you opted to register with us, then you can check your order status by clicking on the 'My Account' tab at the top of of every page.

SHIPPING

When will my order ship out?
Your order will usually ship within 2 days of processing.

Do you ship outside of the U.S.?
If you live outside of the U.S., we apologize but in an effort to streamline our shipping department and provide our U.S. customers with the most efficient order processing, we have decided to ship within the U.S. only.

Do you ship to P.O. boxes?
We apologize for any inconvenience, but UPS does not ship to a p.o. box.

How are the shipping charges calculated?
Shipping is calculated during checkout and is based on the size and weight of the box along with the destination.

I want my item now. What are the shipping options?
We do offer next day and second day air shipping. So, if you have to have it now, you may utilize these options. Please be advised though, the additional shipping charges can be significant and the difference in time that it takes for you to receive your order may be just a few days.
