If you want to buy any coffee on the sheet, whether it is forward, afloat, or SPOT, pay with multiple payment methods, or use your established credit terms, contacting us to order may be easier.

What are your offerings?

We import the finest green specialty coffee from over 30 countries, nearly half of which is Organic. You can find all our current offerings on our filterable Offering Sheet.

Is there a minimum order size?

U.S.: There are no minimum orders on 1lb bags, full size bags, or Crown Jewel boxes if you live in the contiguous U.S.

Canada: There are no minimum orders on full size bags or Crown Jewel boxes.

International Customers: We have a 10 full-size bag or 10 box minimum order on all online international sales outside of Canada. Please contact us to discuss your options.

What happens if I purchase a coffee and am unhappy with the quality I've received?

We stand behind our coffees. Should you encounter any problems, contact us and we’ll work with you to come up with a solution. When your order arrives, please inspect the pallet and bags before signing for the delivery. Crown Jewel purchases are non-refundable. If you have any issues with your Crown Jewel purchase, please email Chris Kornman.

What happens if my shipment arrives damaged?

Always inspect the pallet and bags before signing for a delivery.

In the event that your shipment arrives with damage, please:

  1. Note the damage on the driver’s receipt, but still accept the delivery.
  2. Document the damage with photos, which will help with the claim process.
  3. Please file a claim directly with the shipping company. Royal can assist in this process as needed.

You can ship your coffee:

Ordering Online FAQs

Is there a difference in price between online purchases and those done with my sales rep?

We’ve priced our online inventory for orders that are 10 bags or less and will be paid with a credit card. There are many scenarios that fall outside of that category and pricing will be influenced accordingly. If you do order in volumes larger than one pallet, your prices would most likely be lower. Feel free to discuss this with your sales rep.

How do I create an account?

The first step for a new customer is to Create an Account. This will allow you to purchase both through the web and with your salesperson.

For existing accounts, we’ve already set you up online. Please contact your salesperson to get your login information and change your password. Your online login provides access and control over all your Royal Coffee account information. Once you’ve logged in you can also print your position report and A/R statement at your convenience.

I already have an account with Royal Coffee. Do I need to set up an account online too?

No! In fact, if you set up another account, you will not be able to access prior purchases and any new online purchases would not be saved under your old account.

Good to know. Then how do I access my account?

We have your login info at our office. Contact info@royalcoffee.com to get your information.

I'm logged in, now where is my position report?

Once you are logged in, you can navigate to your reports on the Dashboard.

If I buy online, can I still speak with my sales rep?

Absolutely! Our team of traders is always happy to offer guidance.

What if I live in Hawaii or outside of the United States?

We can’t wait to ship coffee to you; however, due to the regulations in Hawaii and outside of the US, we are required to perform additional services relative to your shipping address. Processing these steps for both Full Size Bags and Crown Jewels may add up to a week to the time it takes to ship your order and there will be additional charges for these services. For questions about these additional services or charges, please contact us. 1 LB bags are not available for sale outside of the continental U.S.

Hawaii: There are special restrictions for green coffee orders to Hawaii – see the full details on shipping to Hawaii above.
