Can I specify a delivery time?
We cannot guarantee delivery times, however we typically know around what time we will be in your neighbourhood and will let you know when you sign up for a delivery. We use a delivery notification app on the day of delivery. Text messages will be sent to your mobile phone with a delivery window when the route is getting ready to leave. In addition you will receive a text 15-minutes before delivery and at the time of delivery.
Please ensure your phone number in our system is a mobile number so you can receive these notifications.

I live in an apartment building. Can you deliver to me?
Yes, we deliver to many apartments and condos in town. If we deliver at a time of day when you are not home we will need a way to ensure we can safely get your order to you. We currently deliver to lobby's and text when arriving. You can add delivery instructions to your account.
I'd prefer to receive my orders at my work office. Can I?
Yes, absolutely.

Do I have to be home to recieve my delivery?
No. We ask you to leave a cooler out in a safe place to drop your order off into. We will leave your order in the cooler to help maintain quality until you can move it inside, especially on very hot or cold days. Please note that we do not take responsiblity for boxes that go missing. Please ensure you have a safe place to leave it.
Will my order be safe outside?
Generally yes. You know your neighborhood best: please ensure you are asking us to leave the box in a safe location so we can ensure that you get your order.
How long do I have to get deliveries?
You can order once, twice, hundreds of times and at any frequency! If you would rather not have an Standing Order, feel free to create a Current Order when you would like a delivery. Click the link in the order reminder email that is sent to every active account and create a Current Order before the order deadline.
When is the deadline for changes/order cancellations?
Your deadline will depend on your delivery day. Tuesday deliveries have a Monday at 4 pm deadline, Wednesday to Friday deliveries have a Tuesday at noon deadline. Changes cannot be made on the website after the deadline. Please email us with any past the deadline requests. We will try to accommodate your changes. A late cancellation fee of $20.00 will apply to cancellations made after the deadline.
What if I forgot to customize my box before the deadline?
We will customize the box for you based on your Produce Preferences by removing your 'dislikes' and substituting other products from your 'likes' list. Or feel free to email us and we can see what we can do!
Do I have to order a produce box?
No you can order a la carte or from many of our available grocery items.
Can I customize my box?
Yes, absolutely.

Why won't the website let me customize my Custom Produce box?
It is likely because the deadline for making changes to your order has come and gone for this week, or the boxes are not yet active. If you are having problems please email us at info at goodfood2u.ca.

Why was there a substitution in my box this week?
It can happen that, at the last minute, our supplier was unable to bring in enough of a product to fulfill all our needs. Often they bring something else to compensate. Additionally if we receive produce of substandard quality we will not add it to your box but will rather substitute it for another item. Our policy is to substitute anything that is inside a produce box. Items that are added outside of a box are credited. Please note that we consider substitutions of different coloured items of the same product as a suitable substitution, for example an orange pepper for a red pepper, yellow beans for green beans.
What is my likes & dislikes list?
This is a list of modifiable produce that you do not want to be included in your box, you can add up to 10. In case we need to make a last minute substitution on your order (for example, if the deer have eaten all the peas at the farm!), we consult your likes and dislikes list so that we don't send you something you would rather not have. To create or modify your Produce Preferences if you are already logged in, please visit here. Otherwise you can create an account here and then click My Account then Preferences from the left hand side, and scroll down to Likes and Dislikes.

What if I don't like a certain vegetable?
You can always customize your box yourself online, or tell us the items you never want to receive in the Produce Preferences window in your 'likes and dislikes' list. Your positive preferences (set as 'likes') assist us with making the substitution for you.
What is a Standing Order?
Our most popular option is the STANDING ORDER. You choose the Produce Box best suited to your needs and how often you want to receive it (weekly, every two weeks, or once a month). You will then automatically receive it, unless you tell us otherwise.

Can I have a particular fruit or veggie every week?
Fruit and vegetable availability changes from week to week. You can add a particular fruit or vegetable to your standing order and we will try to ensure you receive it, but we can't guarantee that we will offer it every week.

I'm having a hard time eating everything in my box. What should I do?
Try receiving a box every second week instead, or splitting one with a friend and/or neighbour. You could also try adding more produce into your food: kale and avocado in your morning smoothies, sweet potatoes and zucchini in your muffins.
Do I have to order online?
No, you do not have to order online. You can phone 613 745-6868 to place your order as soon as the produce listings are available.
What if I have to cancel my order?
A late cancellation fee of $20.00 will apply to cancellations made after the deadline. At that point in time we cannot change the order but can redirect it as a donation to the Food Bank.
What if I am not satisfied with the produce?
We guarantee the quality of our products. If you are not satisfied with a product you received, please send an email with a photo to hello at goodfood2u dot ca so we can replace or credit the item.
How can I pay for my order?
You can either pay by e-transfer or credit card. Credit cards will be charged on the eve before the delivery goodfood2u operates on a C.O.D. (cash on delivery) or prepay basis only. Please send e-transfers on the day of delivery to yannick@goodfood2u.ca

One of the items that I ordered was missing this week
If an item appears to be missing from your box, we may have had to make a last minute replacement, so check the invoice we included in your delivery. If something is indeed missing from your order, then please let us know. If we have made a mistake, we will credit your account. Credits can be viewed by going to My Account - Delivery History.
I didn't get an invoice this week

I need help using the produce!
Check out our recipe section. Items are listed under the vegetable or fruit but don't be afraid to sub in different leafy greens, or change something up and create your own recipe!
What if an item is missing?
If an item is missing and we know it is missing there will be a CR written on your paper invoice. We will add a credit for this item within 5 business days of your order (and before you next order).

Where is my credit?
All credits are placed on your goodfood2u account within 5 business days of your order. Your credit will not appear on your next invoice due to a system issue but will be applied to your next order. If you pay by credit card the amount of your credit will be deducted from your amount total before your card is charged. You can see all transactions and credits by going to My Account - Delivery History. If you are sending an e-transfer you will be able to see the amount owing with the credit applied.
How do I know what is in the meal boxes?
At goodfood2u we are very conscious of the impact of packaging. As such for our meal boxes we assume that you have a pantry that includes oils, vinegars, herbs, spices and broth to make meals. Not to worry if you don't, you can always add these to you box. When you open a meal box to see what's inside you will see some items say 1 of 1, and some say 0 of 1. If the item says 0 of 1 and is in white it will NOT be included in your box UNLESS you add it. If you add it you will be charged the amount of the item you are adding. If the item is in yellow and says 1 of 1, it will be included in your box. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out hello@goodfood2.ca
How do I return glass Milk/Cream and Yogurt Bottles?
Most of our Harmony Milk and Pinehedge Yogurt/Kefir come in glass bottles that have a deposit and can be returned for a refund. When you are finished with your bottles please wash them out and leave them in the place that the driver normally delivers your order, in a bag or box. We will collect the bottles and add a refund for the credit to your account. Please allow 5 business days for the credit to appear and you can find these credits by going to My Account - Delivery History.
