What is your return policy?
If you are unhappy with your order give us a call {843.830.1546} or email us {info@charlestonspice.com} and let us know what you're unhappy with. If you haven't opened your items you are welcome to return them to us at your own expense. We'll refund your money for those items but not the original shipping fee.
I typed the wrong shipping address!!!!!!! What do I do!?!
First, don't panic. As soon as you realize that you've given us the wrong address, call us (843) 830-1546. We will do whatever we can to get your spices to you. As a small business, we cannot make your order again without incurring some serious losses on our end.
If you just placed the order minutes or hours ago, we'll be sure to ship it to the proper address. If it is en route already, we'll see if we can redirect it. If it has already arrived at its destination, we'll hope and pray that whoever got your spices returns them. When they do, we'll ship them to the correct address.
What's your story?
Let's say you're in the store looking for a new blend to spice up dinner tonight. You pick up an intriguing blend to look at the ingredients, they look something like this: "salt, paprika, pepper, spices".
You think, "uh, I know there are spices, it's a spice blend, so what are they??"
With our blends you never have to wonder what "spices" you're putting into your body. We hand blend only the best herbs and spices in small batches so that you know you are just getting the ingredients you see on the back (and we put them all on the back). We founded this company to make it easier for you to find fresh and tasty blends that will enhance your food and your life.
The Charleston Spice Company was founded in 2009 by Garnette Tuten and Jeremy DiAsio. You could say that it started long before that in Peru where Garnette was exposed to new cultures and flavours that came to define her palate as much as her Southern upbringing. Both Jeremy and Garnette have strong roots in the South but each had a desire to explore and expand their culinary worlds. Looking to share this joy of culinary exploration with the people of Charleston they started selling their blends at the Summerville Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Over the years they gradually added more markets and more blends to the line up.
In 2013 Jeremy left the company to continue with the next chapter of his life with his husband in Washington DC. Garnette's daughter, Caitlin, joined the team and has worked on growing the company's online and social media presence. Together Garnette and Caitlin continue to experiment and explore new and interesting ways to use herbs and spices.
