Disposable Bamboo Serving Tongs

The world's first disposable serving tongs made from bamboo. While everyone else was still reaching for plastic, we engineered a better way to serve - one that's compostable, sturdy, and actually looks good on the table.

Our Veneerware® bamboo serving tongs are designed for real use: serving pasta, salad, appetizers, and more at weddings, catering events, dinner parties, or anywhere you need a sustainable alternative to plastic tongs. Each pair is made from FSC®-certified 100% bamboo, is USDA Biobased Certified, and approved for commercial composting.

Hold a plate in one hand, serve with the other - that's the idea. And when the event's over, they go straight to the compost bin.

Size: 9"
Sold as a Pack of 12 or a Case of 36

Shipping Information:

We ship Monday through Friday from Salt Lake City, Utah. We ship within 2 business days for nearly all orders. Orders placed before 11 am Pacific Time may ship out the same day you order. Because we process orders with expediency, we may not always be able to cancel or amend an order before it ships. If you need to cancel or amend your order, please live chat with us or email [email protected].

Currently, we are only able to ship to US addresses. We will update our policy when this changes.

Cost of Shipping:

We periodically review the shipping costs provided by the carriers to ensure we offer customers the best current options available.

The shipping rate for your order is calculated by the carrier, based on the weight of your order and your destination.  

bambu is pleased to offer Everyday Free Ground Shipping* on orders over $95.00. Orders will ship via UPS Ground and must ship to a physical address (no PO Boxes). UPS Ground typically delivers within 2-5 business days, depending on your location. If your order is time-sensitive, please chat with us or email [email protected] to discuss your options.

*For Alaska and Hawaii Customers: Shipping via USPS 1st Class to Alaska or Hawaii can take several weeks. If you require faster delivery, we suggest using Priority Mail. Our Everyday Free Ground Shipping offer is not available to customers in Alaska, Hawaii or outside the contiguous US.

Customer Care is available on live chat from 7 am to 4 pm (Pacific time) Monday through Friday.

Note: Do not select USPS Priority Mail or USPS Ground Advantage if your order is time sensitive. USPS does not guarantee delivery in the time quoted and is not recommended for urgent orders.

It should be noted that FedEx and USPS may experience unavoidable delays in package delivery due to unforeseen weather conditions or peak volume times.

We are not responsible for delays in the UPS, FedEx or USPS delivery networks. While we make every attempt to ship your order in a timely manner, we do not have control over the final delivery date of your package.

Bambu does not assume responsibility for orders with incorrect shipping addresses. If the order is shipped to an incorrect address provided by a customer, the customer is responsible for any additional re-send costs.

Late or Lost Packages:

Sometimes, packages get lost, delayed, or stolen in transit. We know that can be frustrating, but in most cases, we find that packages do turn up within a few days. If your tracking shows the package has been delivered, please check all areas where a package may have been left. FedEx or UPS will usually include a photo of the location where your package was delivered on the tracking page. If your package has not turned up within 2 business days, please reach out to us. We can often assist you with filing a claim with the carrier.
