E-Commerce FAQs

What if I can’t find an item on the site?

  • Keep in mind that most of our prepared foods aren’t available online and we are striving to get all of the items, including local, uploaded to our system. If you don’t see an item you see in the store, let us know.
  • How do substitutions work?
    • By default, we do not substitute items. From the Shopping Cart page, you may select “Replace Out of Stock” for any items that we may be out of and you wish for a substitution. Selecting this lets our shoppers know that you’ll accept a similar item if the original item you selected is unavailable when we prepare your order for you. You will be charged the price of the substitute item. We carry a lot of unique products and thus not all items will have a suitable substitute.
    • Then click either “Contact Me To Verify” to which we will contact you to ensure the substitution is what you want; or “Don’t Contact Me.”

  • Does the Turnip Truck do contact-less curbside pick-up?

  • Can I change the date/time of pickup for an order I have already placed?
    • Please give us a call at the store you ordered from if you need to change the date or time of pickup for an order you’ve already placed. If it’s for a later date or time than your original order this will be no problem. If it’s for an earlier date or time, we will do our best to accommodate this change, but we may not be able to process the order earlier than your originally selected date & time.
  • Can I review my order once it’s been placed?
    • You will receive a confirmation email when you place your order that includes a list of everything you ordered. Additionally, you can log in to your account and select “Re-order.” Here you can see previous orders with the option of duplicating a past order with a click.
  • Can I save an order I haven’t finished yet?
    • You sure can. Once you have registered for an account and logged in, any item you put in your cart will remain there until you checkout or remove the item.
  • How can I cancel an order I’ve placed?
    • Please call us if you need to cancel your order.
  • I received the wrong product. What should I do?
