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.
