FAQs

Quick Help

WHEN WILL MY ORDER SHIP?

You order, we process, and then we ship. Processing typically takes 3-5 business days, however delays may occur due to COVID-19. When your order ships, we will send you a tracking number by email. 

Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee shipping times due to COVID-19 and carrier delays.  

I HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION BUT CAN'T LOGIN TO MY ACCOUNT?

If you are unable to access your account, you most likely did not create one upon checkout with your subscription. An account isn't automatically created simply by subscribing but you can create one by revisiting your initial subscription confirmation e-mails. If you are still having trouble, please reach out to us at ferment@acidleague.com.

I ENTERED THE WRONG SHIPPING ADDRESS. NOW WHAT?

Please email ferment@acidleague.com as soon as possible and we will do our best to correct your order. In most situations, once your order has been picked up by a carrier, we are no longer able to redirect it to a new address.

US orders typically arrive in 5-10 business days once shipped, while Canadian orders typically arrive in 3-5 business days. Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee shipping times due to COVID-19 and carrier delays.

I LIVE IN A REALLY COLD PLACE. CAN YOU STILL DELIVER TO ME IN THE WINTER?

Yes. During the winter we use a combination of insulated packaging and expedited shipping to minimize the risk of freezing or damage from the cold. We are constantly optimizing our winter shipping strategies to get product to you in the best shape possible, as fast as possible.

Product 

WHERE ARE ACID LEAGUE PRODUCTS PRODUCED?

Acid League’s products are produced in Canada.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO STORE MY PRODUCTS?

All of our vinegars are shelf-stable and have an infinite shelf life if stored in your pantry. We recommend that all other Acid League products be stored in the fridge once opened.

ARE ACID LEAGUE BOTTLES RECYCLABLE?

All elements of our packaging, including bottles are recyclable. We recommend that you separate all elements of our packaging before placing them in the recycling bin to make it easier on your local recycling program.

HOW LONG DO ACID LEAGUE PRODUCTS LAST?

Our vinegars have an infinite shelf life, but we dare you not to finish them quickly once you experience the flavor boost they bring to your kitchen. Living Pantry products have a shelf life of 2 years. Proxies have a nine month shelf life.

WHAT'S FLOATING IN MY ACID LEAGUE VINEGAR?

Every vinegar we make is Living Vinegar. We call them Living Vinegar because they’re literally alive—with living vinegar mother in every bottle. Our Living Vinegars are also raw and unfiltered, so the sediment you might see floating in your bottle is a mix of the living mother and tiny pulp-like bits of the fresh produce we use to make our vinegar. Living Vinegar is prebiotic, functional, and full of complex flavor. We were tired of only finding apple cider vinegar with these benefits, so we created Living Vinegar with a healthy dose of flavor.
