1. Do I have to be home to receive my delivery?
For a regular scheduled delivery, you should be home to receive and sign for your products; however, we are offering exciting unattended options called Pre-Dawn delivery (before 6:00 a.m.) and Doorstep Delivery (7:00-10:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., 3:00-6:00 p.m., or 6:00-9:00 p.m.).
2. What is Pre-Dawn delivery?
Pre-Dawn delivery is an early-morning delivery option. If you choose this option, we will leave your items on your doorstep early in the morning, prior to 6:00 AM, so they're there when you wake up. Don't worry, our drivers won't knock or call on any delivery before 7:00 AM. Your groceries will be kept fresh in temperature-controlled totes, so frozen items stay frozen and chilled items stay cold. Our other Doorstep Delivery services work just like Pre-Dawn--we'll leave your groceries on your doorstep in temperature-controlled totes. You don't even have to be home!
3. What happens if I miss my delivery window?
If you miss your delivery slot, don't worry; one of our customer service associates will contact you to reschedule. If we can't successfully reschedule your order within 24 hours, we will return your items to our warehouse and issue a refund for the order.
4. How do my groceries stay fresh while they're on the trucks?
At AmazonFresh, the quality of your food is our biggest concern. We carefully control the conditions in which your products are stored, right up until the moment you receive them, so that fresh items stay chilled and frozen items remain frozen.
Additionally, we work closely with local vendors and handle your products as little as possible between when we receive them and when they reach you, unlike a traditional retail store where customers may be picking through products all day. This low-touch process means we are able to deliver produce and other products of unparalleled quality.
5. What is the relationship between AmazonFresh and Amazon.com?
Although Amazon.com founded AmazonFresh, AmazonFresh operates as an independent grocery delivery business. We've created a new web site to showcase our fantastic products and make your buying experience easy. We use Amazon.com data and systems to simplify your checkout process and get you shopping right away.
All of us here at AmazonFresh have adopted the same spirit of service, quality, value, and innovation that you have come to expect from Amazon.com. And we are working hard, every day, to exceed your expectations. Your feedback on our service is welcome, and greatly appreciated.
6. I see Amazon.com Items appearing on AmazonFresh. How does that work?
We've recently added the capability to see Amazon.com items on AmazonFresh so that customers have a wider selection from which to choose. In some cases, an item may be available from Amazon.com, but not available through AmazonFresh--such as the latest Barefoot Contessa cookbook. Clicking on an Amazon.com item when you are shopping on AmazonFresh will open a new browser window at Amazon.com where you can complete your transaction. Amazon.com items will ship from Amazon.com (or from a third-party seller listed on Amazon.com) and the items will appear in your order history on Amazon.com.
Your AmazonFresh shopping session will be unchanged by clicking on an Amazon.com item. All of the items previously in your shopping cart will still be there and your slot, if you've chosen one, will still be reserved for you. You cannot combine the contents of your Amazon.com cart with your AmazonFresh cart, and Amazon.com items do not count toward the order minimums on AmazonFresh. You will also not see Amazon.com items appearing in Past Purchases or in your order history on AmazonFresh. All management of these items--payment, package tracking, etc.--will happen through Amazon.com.
7. Can I use Amazon.com Gift Certificates to pay for grocery orders on AmazonFresh?
AmazonFresh gladly accepts Amazon.com Gift Certificates. Visit our Gift Cards FAQ page for more information.
8. What about Pre-Dawn or other Doorstep Delivery options? How do my items stay fresh when they're sitting on my doorstep?
To keep all of your products at their proper temperatures, unattended deliveries will be left for you in totes packed with frozen gel packs and, if necessary, dry ice. This packaging can maintain the correct temperature of your products for up to 6 hours.
9. What should I do with the totes from my Pre-Dawn or other Doorstep deliveries?
Before your next delivery, just leave your soft-sided tote bags outside where our drivers can see them and we will pick them up.
For orders that contain our hard-sided totes, if you can wait until your next order to have your totes picked up,
you will help us save fuel and help Seattle stay a little greener.
Otherwise, please contact Customer Service and they can arrange to have your totes picked up within the next 3 days.
10. Should I tip my driver?
Our drivers do not accept cash. You may provide an e-tip during order checkout or through
Your Account. Note that e-tipping is completely
optional. We continue to strive to make your life easier and delivering a high-quality service
should be your expectation.
11. I am unhappy with the product or service I received. What should I do?
It's very important to us that you are completely satisfied with the products you order from AmazonFresh. If we have not met your expectations, please contact customer service. We'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
12. You don't carry a product I want!
Please let us know about the products you want. We're building our selection as fast as possible, but we really want to know what you'd like us to carry. Send us your feedback, and someone from our team will be in touch with you.

AmazonFresh's customer recognition program, Big Radish, offers special benefits and privileges to customers that choose to do the majority of their grocery shopping at AmazonFresh.
With Big Radish status, you can use AmazonFresh without the delivery fee. This provides you the ability to stock up mid-week without worrying about the delivery charge.
15. How do I get Big Radish status?
To determine how much you need to spend in a given month to achieve Big Radish status, check the Big Radish status indicator on the upper right corner of the AmazonFresh Web site.
16. How long is Big Radish status valid?
Once you attain Big Radish status, it is valid until the last day of the next calendar month. For example, if you spend enough in March, you get Big Radish status for the full month of April.
17. What are the Amazon Prime benefits on AmazonFresh?

19. How long do I have to edit my order?
Orders with "open" status in Your Account can still be modified. You can change order-level information, such as credit card or delivery time, or remove items from your delivery until we start processing your order. Once we start processing your order, its status will be changed to "processing" in Your Account. Once your order is processing, items cannot be removed and the order cannot be cancelled. Automatic Deliveries will not enter processing until 8 pm or later the day before they are to be delivered.
Even if an order is processing, you can continue to add items until the order-by time has passed for your delivery window.
You can add items until
- 12:00 a.m. (midnight) for Pre-Dawn Delivery,
- 3:00 a.m. for delivery between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
20. Will you offer new features on your web site to help me shop?

21. I saw a promotion code. How do I use it?
To use a promotion code, add at least one item to your cart and click Checkout. Enter a valid promotion where prompted on the Order Summary screen. If you are using a promotion code advertising a free item (such as our produce sampler), the offer will be automatically added to your order after clicking Place Order. If you are using a promotion code advertising a discount, your discount will be applied to your order when your order is placed.
General:
- Our promotions are currently limited to one per customer. Please contact customer service if you have any questions.
- Applies only to a single complete order that is shipping to a single address that meets all other promotional requirements.
- If promotion requires a minimum purchase order amount, please be certain that you have reached this amount before you enter the promotional code. If you have not reached the minimum order amount when promotional code is entered, you may not receive the promotion.
- Promotional offer valid for a limited time only. Items placed in Shopping Cart overnight may not be eligible for promotion at time of checkout.
- Applies only to AmazonFresh orders and does not apply to any products or orders purchased on Amazon.com's other sites.
- Does not apply to previous orders. Offer may not be combined with other offers, including promotional certificates.
- AmazonFresh reserves the right to cancel or modify our promotions at any time.
Redemption:
- The one-time promotion code must be redeemed on www.fresh.amazon.com
- The one-time promotion code is only applicable as dollars off of an entire order.
- The one-time promotion code is not tied to a specific item.
Tax:
- Since the one-time promotion code is not tied to a specific item, sales tax is calculated upon the entire order amount, even if only one item is purchased.
If you need to apply a promotion after your order has been placed (eg: if you have an Automatic Delivery), you can do this by visiting Your Account and clicking the "edit" button next to the order you'd like to apply the promotion code to. Enter the promotion code in the promotion code field and click "Update Order." If your order is already being processed by our fulfillment center and is no longer editable, please contact customer service.

AmazonFresh offers beer and wine for Attended Delivery. You must be present to

years old or younger, we will not deliver without a valid picture
identification, such as a Driver's License, Passport or Military ID. We
will also not deliver beer or wine if you appear intoxicated.
If we are not able to deliver the beer or wine, we will cancel that part of the order and not charge you for the items.
24. Product Recalls
AmazonFresh.com handles product recalls on an individual basis. When we are notified that an item has been recalled, we stop selling the item and write to customers who have already purchased it to resolve the issue.
