Please submit your add-on orders by 12PM on the day before your scheduled delivery (excluding bread and milk orders) to ensure proper processing. If we do not receive your order in time to add it to your produce box, it will be added to your next delivery. To maximize the variety of produce in your Boston Organics box, if you order a bulk item that may also appear in your box (i.e.: carrots, onions, oranges, potatoes), you may want to add that item to your no-list. That way you can order the item, in bulk, on an as-needed basis. Due to market fluctuation, pricing/availability of add-on items is subject to change without notice.
If you are ordering dairy products, and you will not be home to receive your delivery, we strongly recommend leaving a cooler out for your delivery. If you leave a cooler out, please clearly label it “Boston Organics Delivery” and place some icepacks inside.

We need roughly 48 hours to process and add bread to your next scheduled delivery, with the exception of Tuesday customers. For example, to receive bread on Wednesday, we must receive your order by 12PM on Monday. For Tuesday deliveries, bread orders must be received by 12PM on the previous Friday.

Please Note: If you are ordering milk and you will not be home to receive your delivery, we strongly recommend leaving out a cooler for your delivery. Please place icepacks in the cooler and label it “Boston Organics Delivery.” You can also let your driver know to look for your cooler by emailing us at [email protected].
We guarantee that the milk will be delivered at the proper temperature, but it is up to you to leave out a cooler to ensure that the quality of the milk is maintained. By ordering milk, you are agreeing to our policies.

Your privacy is important to us. When you sign up for produce deliveries from Boston Organics, we ask that you provide us with your email address, and agree to receive email communication from Boston Organics (including our weekly e-newsletter). We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete your receipt of our e-newsletter and to bill you for each produce delivery.
Back to top Declined Credit Cards
If your credit card declines for any reason, your Boston Organics deliveries will be put on hold, and you will be charged a $3 fee to cover the associated administrative fees. Once you contact us with updated billing information, we will resume your deliveries.
Delivery Fees
For nearly all of our deliveries there is NO fee. We charge a $5 per delivery fee for some deliveries where parking/accessibility is very difficult and time consuming (e.g., certain buildings in the financial district). Deliveries made above the third floor will be also be charged a $5 per delivery fee.
Missing or Damaged Box Fees
Your produce will be delivered in a reusable plastic box. Please be sure to leave your empty box out on the day of your delivery. If a customer cancels service and fails to return the box, we will charge the credit card on file $13.00 to replace each box not returned. If you return a box at a later date, you will be refunded the box charge. If a box is returned with significant damage, we will charge the customer’s credit card on file a $13.00 replacement fee.
If we have scheduled an empty box pickup with you and the empty box is not left out on the first attempt, we will charge the customer’s credit card on file a $5.00 fee for a second attempt.
Late Cancellation Fees
If you cancel a delivery or cancel the service after the deadline you will be charged a $20 re-shelving fee.

We pride ourselves on delivering high quality produce to you in every box and filling your order correctly. We only want to send you produce that you can use, and by the nature of the the service, every now and then we may miss an item or a bad item might slip by us.
If you are missing an item or you receive produce that you are dissatisfied with, please let us know. We will add produce of equal value into your next delivery to compensate you or issue a refund.
