  • We do not support adding new products to an existing order. If you would like to add more items, you can place a new order for purchase before the order cut-off time (midnight of the order date). Orders placed on the same day will be shipped together for you with no additional shipping charges.
  • After the cut-off time, the order cannot be able to be modified. Please contact Customer Service to confirm whether the order can be canceled.

  • Change delivery address- After shipping: If your order has shown logistics delivery information updates, we can assist you in contacting the carrier to try and modify the address. Please note that a $20.00 address change fee may apply.

  • If your order is still in the "preparing" status, you can cancel it yourself.
  • If your order is already in the "ready to ship" status, contact our Customer Service for assistance.
  • If your order status is updated with the logistics tracking number, that means the order cannot be canceled.


Section 3. Delivery

3.1 Delivery of Non-Alcoholic Products

We do not require your presence to deliver non-alcoholic products. We will deliver to the address you designate through a third-party courier and will request the package be left at your door, yard, locker, mailroom, or leasing office. If the third-party courier is unable to deliver your package (e.g., incorrect address/missing apartment number, building, floor, or unit number; no access code, call box number, or buzzer information; no safe drop-off place to protect the package from theft or bad weather), either we or the third-party courier will attempt to contact you. If we or the third-party courier agree on an alternate location and/or time for the re-delivery, a redelivery fee may apply. If we or the third-party courier can't reach you after multiple attempts, or if we or the third-party courier are unable to re-deliver the order for any reason, the order will be canceled, resulting in a cancellation fee charged to you. In the event, you input the incorrect address and we successfully deliver to that address, you are responsible for that shipment without a refund. Please be careful and input the correct address into each order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the third-party courier will abide by its internal standard operating procedure.

  • 3.1.1 Offering. Mail-order products may include various offerings, including seasonal and dry items. Mail-order products may also include frozen or refrigerated items ("Cold Chain Product"). A Cold Chain Product will be identified as "cold pack required" on the product description page or checkout page and delivered through extra packaging to stay cold during transit.
  • 3.1.2 Delivery Dates. Delivery will be made Monday through Friday for most addresses, provided that some addresses may be excluded from delivery on Mondays. We will endeavor to have deliveries made on the scheduled delivery date as provided on your account.
  • 3.1.3 Delivery Time. Delivery time may vary as we are utilizing a third-party courier.
  • 3.1.4 Delivery Fees & Gratuities. Orders of Mail-Order products of less than $49 in retail value delivered in a single day will be subject to a $5.99 shipping fee. In addition, orders of Cold Chain Products delivered in a single day will be subject to a Cold Chain fee of $5.99 to $9.99. (The Cold Chain fee is adjusted based on the weather and the cost of insulation.)These fees are cumulative based on the Products and aggregate retail value of deliveries in a single day. We reserve the right to add an additional delivery fee in the event of redelivery, special handling concerns, or other costs for your order. This is not a gratuity for delivery personnel. If you wish, you may also give the delivery driver a gratuity.
  • 3.1.5 Package Theft. In the event of theft, we will issue you a refund of up to $60 in Non-Refundable GustoPoints for the first instance. For any subsequent thefts to the same address or account, you will be solely responsible for the products left at your delivery address. MasGusto will not offer refunds for any subsequent theft claims.
  • 3.1.6 Delivery Temperature Controls. We do our best to keep all of our products at or below the minimum recommended or required temperature thresholds. Upon receipt, we recommend you either refrigerate or freeze perishable products as soon as you receive the order. Some minimal degree of melt or thawing may occur depending on the temperature and conditions of your delivery address.

Note: Shipping details are listed on the order detail page. Order information, including delivery confirmation and tracking number, will be emailed to customers when the package is ready to ship.

If tracking information is not available, please submit the report of a delivery issue or contact Customer Service for assistance.


3.4 Order has been delayed

If the expected delivery date has passed, please understand that weather, traffic, package inspection, and more can cause delivery delays. Most late packages will arrive within 24 to 48 hours of the expected delivery date. If tracking is not updated after 48 hours beyond the estimated delivery time, please submit the report of a delivery issue or contact Customer Service for assistance.


3.5 Tracking shows an undeliverable status

The carrier may be unable to deliver the package due to factors such as an unclear address, an unsafe location, or the absence of a recipient to sign for it. We recommend contacting the carrier to investigate the issue and request a redelivery or arrange for a pickup. If the tracking information indicates that the package is being returned, please submit the report of a delivery issue or contact Customer Service for assistance.


3.6 Delivery Time Disclaimer

  • When you place an order, our system generates an estimated delivery time based on product availability, order processing duration, delivery location, and logistical arrangements. This estimation represents an ideal scenario.
  • External Factors: We strive to minimize deviations from the estimated delivery time. However, factors beyond our control, such as extreme weather, natural disasters, traffic, and government regulations, can influence delivery schedules.
