Honey From The Heart is sold through a network of participating Jewish organizations across the United States and each of these groups sets their own selling price. You can determine the price for an individual jar by adding a jar to your shopping cart, or you can contact your organization’s honey chairperson for pricing information.

Of course! Just click the ORDER button and select the “I’m a first time buyer and I’m not affiliated with a participating organization”. We hope you will tell your organization about Honey From The Heart.

To qualify for free shipping, your honey order will be sent by a discounted, high volume mail service with stricter requirements than regular mail. An address you’re accustomed to using may have a slight error or non-conformity that will disqualify it from free shipping.

 

Honey From The Heart doesn’t decide which addresses to reject! The decision comes from the U.S. Postal Service. To comply with USPS regulations for the discounted mail service, we test every address when you enter it into your order.

 

OPTIONS FOR HANDLING A REJECTED ADDRESS

To qualify for free shipping, you must correct rejected addresses. Please use this  Address Verification Tool to research the rejected addresses. You won’t need to sign in or register to use this free tool.

OR

You have the option to proceed with a rejected address by agreeing to a $7.00 fee which covers our additional cost for First-Class mail. (We do not guarantee on-time delivery to rejected addresses.)

 

On rare occasions, a correct address may be rejected. Typical reasons are:

1. The location is brand new construction
2. The USPS doesn’t deliver mail to that location (often rural). Provide a PO Box instead.
3. The unit number isn’t officially part of the address. Enter the unit number as the Company Name.

 

If you’re positive that the address you entered is correct, notify us at support@orthoney.com. Please provide your name, your organization’s name, your order number, the full name and address you tried to enter, and the personalized greeting you would like on the gift card. We will research the address and respond with a solution.

If you entered an address on USPS Zip Code Lookup, and the USPS showed it exists, but our system rejected it, the address you entered is most likely missing some information that caused it to fail the Delivery Point Validation (DPV) test.

 

The DPV test determines if there is an actual mailbox (delivery point) that the mail carrier can deliver to, and the DPV code must equal Y to qualify for free shipping. You can find the DPV code on the USPS Zip Code Lookup by clicking the down arrow to the right of each displayed address.

 

To check if an address is compliant for free shipping, enter the address into the Address Verification Tool and review the results that are displayed. You won’t need to sign in or register to use this free tool. If the tool shows the address is verified and we rejected it, the issue is generally that the address is new construction. We update our data monthly, so there might be a slight lag.

 

If you’re positive that the address you entered is correct, notify us at support@orthoney.com. Please provide your name, your organization’s name, your order number, the full name and address you tried to enter, and the personalized greeting you would like on the gift card. We will research the address and respond to you with a solution.

Some Senior Care Facilities, Security High-Rises and Office Complexes do not register their individual unit numbers with the U.S. Postal Service. This is because the mail carrier delivers all of their mail to a central location and the mail is distributed internally by their staff.

In these cases, if you include the unit number when you enter the address, our system will reject it. Try reentering the address without the unit number. If that’s accepted, we suggest you add the occupant’s unit number to the order in the space designated for Company Name or Care Of, to assist the facility’s staff with delivery.

The post office doesn’t always complete honey deliveries on time. When this happens, Honey From The Heart will gladly send a replacement to the same address, along with a letter of apology.
