SHIPPING POLICY

 

1. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

2. PACKAGING AND PRESERVATION STANDARDS

Due to the specific nature of Fresh Fruit and Perishable Goods, NLF applies a strict packaging procedure:

  • Quality Protection: Products are packaged using specialized materials (hard cardboard boxes, cushioning layers/bubble wrap) to minimize impact during transportation.
  • Temperature Control: For F&B Processed Products (such as Melon Juice) and sensitive fresh items (such as Strawberry), NLF uses thermal bags/dry ice or insulated containers to ensure ideal storage temperature.
  • Sealing: All orders are meticulously sealed, ensuring integrity and traceability (QR code/stamp) upon delivery to the Customer.
