The 7 rules of returns
• We accept only Hummingbird containers*.
• Containers must be clean on the outside.
• Containers must be in original condition—no writing or punctures.
• No mold-contaminated containers.
• Plastic containers must have their original lids.
• For glass containers, returning lids is optional.
• If returning glass with our truck drivers, please pack them in cardboard boxes to ensure they do not get broken in transit.
* Please do not store other products in Hummingbird containers or add any ingredients to the product in the container. This does not comply with our Food Safety requirements and other certifications. Adding any external substance makes the container unusable.
