Shipping policy
Please note that returns will not be accepted for any International Shipping Services. Customers will be responsible for all incurred customs and duties.
Where do you ship to?
We ship our products to US and Canada. We do not ship internationally via our wholesale portal. If you would like to place an international order, please visit our retail e-commerce page www.slowpoursupply.co
United States
Our default shipping method is UPS Ground. We also ship 2nd Day and Next Day with surcharge. Simply select either at check out.
Canada
We use UPS Standard Ground or USPS International for all WPM products depending on the delivery location. You can request your preferred carrier at checkout.
Puerto Rico
We use USPS for shipping orders to Puerto Rico regardless of box size.
How do I know if my order has been shipped?
After your order has been shipped, an automatically generated email will be sent to you via our shipping system. If you have not received this email or any other form of electronic communication within 2 days of your order being placed, please contact us to check that we have your correct email address on file.
What happens if I have used a wrong address at check out?
Don't worry. Contact us immediately (we ship before 1 p.m. each day) so we can correct the address before we make the shipment.
If the address you provide is incomplete and if any parcels are returned to us, you will just need to contact us, provide the correct address and pay a small shipping fee. We will then redirect your package back to you. We want to make sure you receive your products!
However, we regret that we cannot be responsible for parcels lost due to incorrect or incomplete addresses. So please do try to double-check your information before you send in your order form.
How long does it take to fulfill my order?
All orders are shipped within 1-3 packing days after the order is placed, using UPS from our Houston location. Please expect delivery at least between 5-7 days for parcels shipped with UPS Ground (3-5 days) due to processing and distance.
Due to COVID-19, continental shipments might experience shipping delay of up to 1 week.
I urgently need the products. Can you expedite?
If you need an item urgently, email us at wholesale@slowpoursupply.co with the subject heading “Urgent Order” and we will assist you with expediting the shipment if possible. There will be a surcharge for this service and the shipping cost. Otherwise, except for orders shipped with UPS 2nd Day or a faster option, we cannot fully guarantee an exact day for delivery, and you will have to rely on the carrier to provide details.
Packing Days: M/T/Th/Fr

Taking care of my products
PITCHERS and KETTLES
Pitchers and kettles are not dishwasher or stovetop safe. Please avoid getting water on the wooden parts.
Also, please note that with use there comes natural wear and tear. However, you can extend your product’s durability by following the steps listed below:
To clean your product, use warm water and a small amount of dish soap, and air dry or wipe with a towel. It is recommended that you rinse and wipe the item dry after every use.
STTOKE Cups
STTOKE cups are double-walled and are not suitable for the extreme drying heat generated by dishwashers. We recommend handwashing your STTOKE cups after use.
ORIGAMI DRIPPERS
Origami Drippers are made using high-density porcelain clay fired at 1300ºC for 12 hours and are very durable and have heat-bearing properties. However, the wooden dripper holders are not dishwasher safe and should avoid prolonged contact with water. Resin (AS) Dripper is made with food safe thermal-resistant materials and is dishwasher safe.
APRIL BREWERS
April Brewers, April saucer and cup set are made using ceramic clay and are dishwasher safe.
TIMEMORE PRODUCTS
Scales, manual grinders and dripper stands are not water safe and should not be washed or submerged in water. Please use a slightly moist microfiber to remove any stains on dripper stands and scales. Please use a cleaning brush (provided with product) or a micro tip of a vacuum cleaner to remove grinds. Please do not detach grinder parts for cleaning by yourself without prior written acknowledgement from Slow Pour Supply or Timemore.
Timemore carafes, cups, servers, French presses are diswasher safe products.
AUTOTAMPERS - all parts of the kilo' Autotamper are not dishwasher safe. Tamping base can be magnetically removed and wiped down. Submerging tamper base in water will result in moisture build up between parts. Water or moister found inside the Autotamper will automatically void the warranty for the kilo' Autotamper.
WPM Tamping Mats are diswasher safe
