On occasion we may offer a Discount code for a specific promotion or duration.  With any coupon the following applies:

You can only use one discount code per order. You cannot “stack” coupons.

Discounts are for a specific period and not honored on orders placed after expiration.

Discounts are only on in stock items. There is no “rain check” offered to apply a discount if an item comes back in stock after a discount code expires.

We offer 100s or 1000s of items on sale each month to all customers with or without a discount code. When a sale item is placed into the shopping cart that has a discount code applied, no additional discount code discounts will be offered on the sale item.  For example, if an item is on sale 20% and you have a 5% discount code, the price in the cart for that item will reflect the 20% off discount, NOT 25%.

UNFI Easy Options (UEO) does not accept and/or process backorders. UEO works hard not to accept an order unless we have the item in stock. However, between the time an order is placed and the order is picked, on occasion the item may go out of stock. If one or more item on Customer’s order is not in stock and/or is not available, the item is removed from the order and the balance of the order is shipped. A refund will be issued to the customer's credit card for items which do not ship.

UNFI Easy Options does not offer dropship. UNFI Easy Options is a business-verified buyer’s site for retailers, eTailers and other small to medium sizes businesses. We deliver directly to your business, home or warehouse. Note: UNFI Easy Options customers CANNOT ship directly to Amazon or dropship to consumers.
