Due to the sensitive nature of nuts, it is possible that some may be damaged or broken during transportation. In addition, we cannot guarantee that each pack contains 100% whole/unbroken products, but we make every effort to ensure our packaging is as secure and strong as possible. The nuts or other products may also be damaged or broken during transit from our manufacturers, so it is sometimes impossible to guarantee 100% whole contents without some broken pieces.
