Delivery bags and packaging are intended solely for transportation and are not suitable for long-term storage.

6. Partial Refunds & Quantity-Based Products

  • Refunds and replacements may be limited to the affected portion of the order.
  • Damage affecting part of a product does not automatically qualify the entire product or order for refund or replacement.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the following items are not eligible for return, replacement, or refund:

Please Note: Non-returnable items are clearly identified wherever reasonably practicable. Customers should review product descriptions carefully before purchasing.

7A. Product Images, Packaging & Unit Representation

Product images displayed on our website are intended for illustrative purposes only.

In certain cases, product images may depict the manufacturer's original master case, carton, bulk packaging, or display packaging; however, orders may be fulfilled as individual units, smaller quantities, or portions removed from the original master case.

Packaging Notice: Packaging images are provided solely to illustrate the original packaging configuration and product appearance and should not be interpreted as the quantity being purchased.

Customers are responsible for carefully reviewing:

  • Product titles;
  • Item descriptions;
  • Unit size;
  • Pack count;
  • Quantity information;
  • Pricing details;
  • Any packaging disclosures included in the listing.

Returns, refunds, or replacements will not be issued for misunderstandings relating to:

  • Master case versus individual unit purchases;
  • Package count or quantity clearly stated in the listing;
  • Product dimensions, weight, volume, or size accurately described in the item details;
  • Variations between the packaging image shown and the packaging format received, provided that the actual product matches the description.

7B. Opened Products, Taste Preference & Manufacturer Responsibility

For food safety and quality assurance reasons, we cannot accept returns or issue refunds for products that are:

  • Not expired, defective, damaged, or otherwise eligible under this Policy;
  • Opened after delivery;
  • Used, partially used, or consumed;
  • Returned solely because of personal taste preferences, flavor expectations, texture preferences, aroma concerns, or individual dissatisfaction.
Important: Individual taste preferences vary significantly. Dissatisfaction based solely on flavor or personal preference does not constitute a product defect.

As a retailer and distributor, we do not manufacture the products sold through our website and therefore cannot guarantee that every product will meet individual taste expectations.

Customers purchasing new, unfamiliar, specialty, imported, or first-time products do so at their own discretion.

Manufacturer Assistance

If a customer believes a product has a manufacturing defect, quality issue, contamination concern, or product-related issue beyond our ability to assess, we encourage the customer to contact the product manufacturer directly.

Customers should retain the product packaging and be prepared to provide:

  • Product details and lot/batch information;
  • Order information;
  • Date and place of purchase;
  • Supporting photographs or documentation requested by the manufacturer.

8. Missing, Stolen, or Unattended Deliveries

Once an order has been successfully delivered, responsibility for the order transfers to the customer.

Claims involving missing items, alleged theft after delivery, or unattended deliveries will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Theft Claims After Delivery

For theft-related claims submitted after confirmed delivery, customers may be required to provide supporting evidence, including but not limited to:

  • CCTV or security camera footage clearly showing the theft;
  • A valid police report documenting the incident;
  • Reports from apartment management or security personnel;
  • Any other reasonable evidence requested during investigation.
Important: We are not responsible for unattended deliveries after successful delivery confirmation has been obtained.

9. Delivery Confirmation & Transfer of Risk

Ownership and risk of loss transfer to the customer upon successful delivery.

Successful delivery may be evidenced by one or more of the following:

  • Delivery confirmation records;
  • Delivery photographs;
  • Carrier delivery confirmation;
  • GPS verification;
  • Customer acknowledgment or acceptance;
  • Electronic proof of delivery.

Customers are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate delivery information;
  • Ensuring a safe and accessible delivery location;
  • Promptly retrieving delivered products;
  • Making appropriate arrangements when unavailable to receive deliveries.

10. Inspection Upon Delivery

Customers should inspect their order promptly upon delivery.

Customers are responsible for verifying:

  • Correct products received;
  • Product condition;
  • Quantity received;
  • Visible damage to products or packaging;
  • Presence of all items listed on the order.
Inspection Requirement: Reporting issues immediately enables us to investigate and resolve concerns more effectively.

Failure to report issues within the applicable reporting period may be deemed acceptance of the order as delivered.

11. Refund Processing

Approved refunds may be issued through one of the following methods:

  • Original payment method;
  • Store credit;
  • Gift card credit;
  • Other refund methods determined by us at our sole discretion.

Refund processing times may vary depending upon:

  • Payment processor requirements;
  • Banking institutions;
  • Card issuer processing schedules;
  • Verification requirements associated with the claim.
Please Note: Processing times are outside our control once a refund has been submitted to the applicable payment provider.

11A. Return Requirement for Approved Claims

Unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly waived by us in writing, refunds shall be issued only after:

  • The claim has been reviewed and approved; and
  • The item subject to the claim has been returned to us in the condition reasonably necessary for inspection.
Return Requirement: Approval of a claim does not automatically result in issuance of a refund until all applicable return requirements have been satisfied.

If an approved claimant fails or refuses to return the item when requested:

  • The approved refund or replacement may be withheld;
  • The approved refund or replacement may be cancelled;
  • Any pending resolution may be reversed.

Where return of the item is impractical, unsafe, prohibited by law, or otherwise waived at our sole discretion, we may approve an alternative resolution without requiring physical return.

The inability or refusal to return the item upon request shall render the claim ineligible for refund, even where spoilage, damage, or defects are alleged, unless the return requirement has been expressly waived by us.

12. Fraud Prevention & Abuse Policy

To ensure fair treatment for all customers and to protect the integrity of our services, we monitor refund, replacement, and account activity for signs of misuse, abuse, or fraudulent conduct.

We reserve the right to:

  • Request additional documentation or verification;
  • Investigate suspicious or excessive claims;
  • Limit or deny claims that appear fraudulent, abusive, or inconsistent with prior account activity;
  • Restrict refund eligibility for repeated unsupported claims;
  • Suspend or terminate accounts involved in misuse, fraud, or policy abuse;
  • Refuse future service where fraudulent activity is reasonably suspected.

Examples of Abuse

Fraudulent or abusive activity may include, but is not limited to:

  • Submitting false or misleading claims;

  • Repeatedly refusing to return products when requested;
  • Manipulating promotional offers or discounts;
  • Misrepresenting facts to obtain refunds or credits.

If a product is listed at an incorrect price due to:

  • Typographical errors;

  • Other unforeseen circumstances.

We reserve the right to:

  • Offer the customer the opportunity to proceed with the corrected pricing.
Pricing Notice: If payment has already been collected for an affected item, an appropriate refund for the incorrect charge will be issued.

15. Product Availability & Substitutions

If an item becomes unavailable after an order has been placed, we may:

  • Remove the unavailable item and issue a refund;

  • Contact the customer for substitution approval;
  • Provide store credit where appropriate.

Substitute products, where offered, will generally be reasonably similar in:

16. Food Safety & Temperature-Sensitive Products

Certain products require refrigeration, freezing, or other temperature-controlled storage.

Upon successful delivery, customers are responsible for promptly storing temperature-sensitive products according to recommended food safety guidelines.
