Shipping Questions

Because the food is frozen, and for safety purposes, we do not accept returned product.  If you have any problems with your order, please fill out the Contact Us form here.

Since the Falafel and Kibbeh are shipped frozen, your order will arrive in a box lined with a styrofoam cooler packed with dry ice.  All orders are shipped with 2 day transit.  Gift notes and gift wrapping are not available at this time.

Our products come frozen and shipped on dry ice. Once they arrive, place your items in the freezer.  Both Falafel and Kibbeh are good to stay in the freezer for up to 18 months from the production date.

Our shipments are sent out on Mondays, all orders must be received by Sunday midnight ET to be shipped on Monday.   That said, while we make every effort to send your Afia order on the first possible ship date, we ask that during high volume spikes, you allow up to 10 business days for us to process and send your order. Please know that we very much appreciate your patience and understanding!

Unfortunately, you cannot ship to multiple addresses in one order.  In order to ship to multiple addresses, we ask that you enter each address as an individual order.  If you create an “account” on our site, your info will be saved, so you won’t have to type in your information over and over again!

Food Questions
