On the off chance that your package is lost or late, please rest assured that we have a comprehensive policy in place to address these concerns. According to our policy with shipping companies, a package must be missing for at least 15 consecutive days before we can file a claim. This timeframe is established because experience has shown that many packages, although they may appear delayed or missing, are often found and successfully delivered within this period.

We understand that waiting for a delayed package can be a frustrating experience, and we appreciate your patience during this time. If your package does not arrive within the 15-day window, we will take immediate steps to investigate and resolve the issue, including filing a claim with the shipping company on your behalf.

In the meantime, we encourage you to keep an eye on the tracking information for updates. If there are significant changes or if the package does not arrive within the specified timeframe, please do not hesitate to contact us for further assistance.

If your package does go missing for 15 consecutive days we will replace your order and expedite the shipping so that it arrives to you at the soonest possible date.

What causes clumping?

1. Moisture: This is the most common reason spices clump. When spices are exposed to humidity or any form of moisture, they can start to stick together. This is especially true for finely ground spices. Red spices, such as paprika or cayenne pepper, are prone to absorbing moisture from the air because of their fine consistency.
2. Oil Content: Some red spices have natural oils that can make them stick together when they are ground. Over time, or when exposed to heat, these oils can cause the spice particles to bind together.
3. Salt or Sugar Additions: Some spice blends may have added salt or sugar, both of which can draw moisture from the air and lead to clumping.
4. Static Electricity: In some cases, especially when spices are freshly ground, they can develop a static charge which makes them cling together.
5. Storage Conditions: If spices are stored in a warm place, such as near a stove or oven, it can cause the natural oils in them to become more fluid, leading to clumping.

To prevent clumping:

• Always store spices in a cool, dry place.
• Use airtight containers for storage.
• Avoid shaking out spices directly over steaming pots, as this introduces moisture to the bottle.
• Consider using desiccant packets in spice containers to absorb any excess moisture.

If your red spices have clumped, they can often be de-clumped by gently shaking the jar or breaking them apart with a fork.
