We offer flat-rate shipping across the continental US. Orders are typically processed within 1-2 business days, and delivery usually takes 3-5 business days depending on your location. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

Do you offer international shipping?

Currently, Umami Insider ships exclusively within the United States. We are working on expanding our logistics to bring our curated Japanese pantry staples to international customers in the near future.

What is your return policy for food items?

Due to food safety regulations, we cannot accept returns on perishable items. However, if your order arrives damaged or if there is an error with your shipment, please contact our support team within 7 days for a full refund or replacement.
