Please remember that you should never share your lock code with any vendor. If you opt for grocery delivery outside of our preferred providers, we require refrigerator stocking service rather than just delivery to the doorstep. This is essential, as we cannot guarantee that items left outside will make it into your fridge.

To facilitate seamless delivery and access, kindly provide our contact information (info@onceuponabeachami.com, 941-584-5844) to the vendor. This allows them to coordinate directly with us to gain access to your home and ensure the safe delivery of your groceries.
