Refund Policy

Last updated July 2026

Life happens. Here's exactly what to expect if a rescue doesn't go the way either of us hoped.

1. Cancelling a reservation

You can cancel from your orders page any time before the pickup window opens, and the bag goes right back on the shelf for someone else. Cancellations after the window opens can't always be honored, since the business has already set your food aside.

2. No-shows

If you don't collect your bag inside the pickup window, the order is marked as a no-show and isn't refunded. The food usually gets donated or shared with staff rather than tossed.

3. If the business cancels

Sometimes a shop closes early or runs out. If a business cancels your order, you're refunded in full, automatically. No form, no chasing.

4. Something wrong with your bag

If your bag was missing, spoiled, or clearly not what was described, tell us within 24 hours of pickup through the Contact page. Include your order number and a photo if you have one, and we'll make it right.

5. Surprise bags are surprises

Because contents vary by day, "I wanted different items" isn't a refundable reason. Allergen info is listed on each bag — please check it before reserving.

6. How refunds arrive

Approved refunds go back to your original payment method, typically within 5–10 business days depending on your bank.

7. Questions

Still unsure? Reach out through Contact with your order number and we'll sort it out together.

Heads up: this is a friendly starter template, not legal advice. Swap in your own language (and have a lawyer glance at it) before launch day.
