Dear fellow brewers,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of BrewChatter after 10 wonderful years of serving our fellow brewers and community. Due to various unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to shut down operations ending March 31st.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support, loyalty, and friendship throughout the years. We would not have been able to achieve such success without you, and we are truly grateful for the opportunities you have given us.

During the next couple weeks, we will be wrapping up any outstanding projects, having a massive liquidation sale and fulfilling any pending orders. We will do everything we can to minimize any inconvenience caused. Thank you again for your understanding and support during this difficult time.

Sincerely, Josh & RJ

BrewChatter Shipping Policy

BrewChatter Shipping Philosophy

We have one goal with shipping:  To get your order to you as quickly, safely and cost effectively as possible.  It's that simple!  We primarily ship via USPS, UPS and FedEx, which can take 5 - 7 business days coast-to-coast.  Most products ship from our warehouse in Sparks, NV.

Our Process

Packages are generally dispatched within 2-3 business days, after receipt of payment, unless otherwise noted on the product, and are primarily shipped via FedEx, UPS or USPS with tracking and drop-off without signature (unless otherwise requested or required).  Whichever shipment choice you make, we will provide you with a link to track your package online.  Orders received by 2 pm PST Monday thru Friday will be shipped the same day, and orders received after 2 pm PST will be shipped the next morning.  All orders received Saturday and Sunday will be shipped Monday. 

Shipping Liquid Yeast

If your order contains liquid yeast, we will provide 1 FREE ice pack per package of liquid yeast.  If you'd like to add extra ice packs, simply add as many as you would like to your cart, and our Brew Ninjas will safely package your chosen liquid yeast strains with all of the extra ice packs. 

To help you get your yeast as quickly and fresh as possible, we offer the BrewNinja Yeast Shipping program!  When you purchase any liquid yeast and any other non-yeast product in the store, we will automatically ship your yeast, separately from the rest of your order in most cases (but not all cases), using Fed Ex 2 Day Air.  This is a free service that we offer when you purchase your yeast in conjunction to any other product we offer that is not liquid yeast.  This offer is for any brewer in the United States, and we proudly offer this program to all 50 states, including Hawaii and Alaska.  The BrewNinja Yeast Shipping Program is not viable for US Territories like Puerto Rico.  

We recommend that you choose an expedited shipping service for liquid yeast strains if not using our BrewNinja Yeast Shipping program. 

Shipping Costs

We are not in business to profit from shipping, and therefore Do Not make a profit from shipping.  To simplify the entire shipping process, any order under $59.00 and under 49 pounds will ship BrewNinja BrewFaster Flat Rate for a flat rate of $9.99 to the 48 contiguous United States.  We will choose the fastest and most cost effective shipping method every time.  Any order over $59.00 and under 49 pounds will ship FREE to the contiguous United States.  It’s as simple as that!  We get you your order as quickly and cost effectively as possible!  All orders over 49 pounds, no matter the order total, will receive normal, real time quoted shipping rates from FedEx.
We do not under-pack or over-pack boxes, and ensure that everything is well protected and properly sized for each individual order.

International Shipping

We are happy to ship internationally.  We do not provide any free shipping options for international shipments, but provide shipping services from DHL, USPS, UPS and FedEx.  We recommend that you choose the shipping method that makes the most sense for your chosen products and time frame. 

When shipping internationally, customs duties and/or fees (if any) cannot be calculated on our end, and are the sole responsibility of the recipient.  Unfortunately, we do not calculate Delivered At Place (DDU or DAP) costs, and must rely on the country where the order is being shipped to determine said costs.

We accept returns on international orders at the expense of the recipient.  We do not provide a return label and DDU/DAP costs for any international shipments.  Once a shipment leaves the jurisdiction of the US, we cannot be responsible for any lost, stolen, missing or damaged items.  We recommend choosing DHL as your international carrier due to the ability to track the shipment once it leaves the US.

Will Call / In Store Pickup

BrewChatter also offers local, in-store pick-up for any order.  Simply select the 'Will Call' option at check out to take advantage of this feature.  If you are not a local customer, this option is not available.

Free Shipping From BrewChatter

BrewChatter also offers FREE SHIPPING on most orders over $59 , which excludes some items, including all BULK GRAINS, Wine Ingredient Kits, and items or groups of items over 49 lbs.  We only offer our FREE SHIPPING Program in the 48 Contiguous United States.  Simply choose 'Your Order Qualifies for Free Shipping' at checkout to take advantage of this great deal!

We also offer BrewNinja Yeast Shipping, where we will ship you your liquid yeast for Free using FedEx 2 Day air, anywhere in the 50 united States (territories excluded).  To qualify, you must buy your yeast and 1 of any other product in the store that is not liquid yeast, extra ice packs or an insulated mailer.  BrewNinja Yeast Shipping happens automatically on all orders that qualify!  Read all about BrewNinja Yeast Shipping.

Delivery Time

Delivery Time is dependent on 2 factors:

1.  "Availability". Most products ship in 2 – 3 business days, unless otherwise stated on the product (i.e. Special Order Item).  We do our best to send orders out as quickly as possible, although some items may take longer, dependent upon factors such as Special Order Status, Stock Levels, and Shipper Availability.  We always strive to ship orders the same day or within 24 hours of each order, although it will not always be possible.   

2.  The method of delivery - our shipping method is either UPS, USPS, or FedEx Ground (commercial addresses) or FedEx Home Delivery (residential addresses), depending upon the products and your chosen shipping method.  Please note that despite published delivery times, delivery dates may not be guaranteed by your chosen shipping service.   FedEx Express Saver takes 3 business days; 2nd Day Air is two business days, and there are several options for Overnight delivery based on the time of day to be delivered and your chosen shipping service.  

Additionally, please note that delivery time is also based on business days. For example, if you place an order on Sunday or Federal Holiday, it's impossible for us to ship an item the same day as all the shippers are closed.
