Frequently asked questions
Some questions and answers are automatically generated.
How hot are your sauces?
Green Jalapeño Cilantro is almost medium, Black Garlic Sriracha is mild to medium, and Mexican Peppers & Coffee is medium. Red Ghost Squash is the hottest, with about a dozen ghost peppers in every bottle, and it still leads with flavor.
Do you ship outside Oklahoma?
Most sauces ship anywhere in the US. A few small-batch sauces, and the bundles that include them, can only ship to Oklahoma addresses under Oklahoma's homemade food law. Their product pages say so.
How much is shipping, and how fast?
Orders of $70 or more ship free. Otherwise, Oklahoma orders are $6 up to 1 lb and $8 up to 5 lb, and everywhere else gets UPS rates at checkout. Most orders ship the next business day and arrive within a week of shipping.
Can I mix and match for Buy 4, save 15%?
Yes. Any 4 single bottles count, in any mix, and the 15% comes off automatically in your cart.
Do bundles count toward Buy 4, save 15%?
No. Buy 4 covers single bottles, and bundles are already priced below buying each item on its own.
Can I pick up my order in Oklahoma City?
Yes. Choose local pickup at checkout, then message me to set a time and place.
Do you sell to restaurants, shops or for business gifts?
Yes. Email me at wholesale@waywardpepper.co for pricing and case sizes. Business gift orders start at 4 gift sets (mixing is fine) or one case.
Where can I buy your sauce in person?
Stitch Cafe in Oklahoma City, including Mexican Peppers & Coffee, which we made with them.
What's in your sauces?
Real peppers, vinegar and ingredients you can read on every label. No extracts, artificial colors, thickeners or gluten ingredients.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Email orders@waywardpepper.co within 7 days of delivery with a photo, and I'll send a replacement or refund it, your choice. No need to ship anything back.
Can I send an order as a gift?
Yes. Enter their address at checkout. For a gift note, use the note box on the cart page, or message me after you order, and I'll tuck it in with the sauce. Merch ships separately from our print partner without the note.
What makes a good gift?
The Duo & Crewneck Gift Set ships free on its own. For Oklahoma addresses, the Wayward Kitchen Bundle has all four sauces. Digital gift cards start at $10.
Will my merch ship with my sauce order?
No. Merch is made to order by our print partner and usually ships within a day or two, in its own package.
Can I return or exchange merch?
If your merch arrives damaged or misprinted, message me within 30 days with a photo and I'll get you a free replacement. We can't take returns or size exchanges, so check the size chart before you order.
Can I use a discount code on merch?
Our everyday codes don't apply to merch. Merch goes on sale during planned sales like Black Friday.
Do you offer sauce bundles or sets?
Yes. We offer curated bundles designed to showcase range or build everyday routines. Bundles are thoughtfully paired to cover different meals and occasions — from breakfast through dinner.
What meals or dishes do your sauces pair well with?
The sauces are versatile and work across eggs, tacos, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, pizza, noodles, and leftovers. Many are specifically built for breakfast or charred and grilled foods, though they adapt well to most savory dishes.
Do you collaborate with other brands or local businesses?
Yes. We partner with local businesses and coffee roasters to create unique collaborative sauces that blend expertise and flavors from both makers.
