Cook Curated is the seller; an approved production partner may make and ship the object.
Why do some purchases leave Cook Curated?
Most objects are fulfilled by approved retailers or makers. Their purchase button opens the selected partner with Cook Curated tracking applied. That partner processes payment, ships the order, and provides the governing purchase terms.
What goes into the Cook bag?
Only objects sold directly by Cook Curated enter the Cook bag. Those objects may still be made and shipped by an approved production partner, but Cook Curated remains the seller and manages the customer relationship.
Can I combine every object in one checkout?
Not yet. The marketplace is intentionally visually unified, but products sold by different independent partners cannot share a single payment transaction. The purchase path is identified beside each object’s description and action.
Who handles shipping, returns, and order questions?
For partner purchases, the retailer shown on the product page handles payment, shipping, returns, and order support under its own policies. For direct Cook purchases, Cook Curated will provide the applicable shipping and return terms before checkout opens.
Are prices guaranteed?
Prices on Cook Curated are a useful current reference, not a guarantee. Partner pricing, availability, promotions, tax, and shipping are confirmed on the retailer’s site. Direct Cook pricing is confirmed in the Cook checkout.
Does Cook Curated earn a commission?
Sometimes. A retailer may pay Cook Curated a commission when a tracked visit results in a qualifying purchase, at no added cost to the customer. Commercial relationships do not determine what earns a place in the collection.
What do saved objects remember?
Saved objects and the Cook bag are currently remembered only in the browser on that device. They are not an account, and they do not reserve inventory or lock a price.
