At Savory Treats, we take great pride in delivering freshly prepared, quick-frozen meals from top independent food makers straight to your door. Because our products are perishable food items, our return and refund policies differ from standard retail businesses.
Please review this policy carefully before placing an order on our platform.
1. No Physical Returns
Due to federal food safety regulations and the perishable nature of quick-frozen food, we cannot accept physical returns of meals or food products under any circumstances.
Once a shipment leaves our partner kitchens or fulfillment facilities, it cannot be safely returned to inventory, even if the packaging remains unopened.
2. Order Cancellations and Modifications
Because our independent culinary vendors prepare and package meals specifically for scheduled shipments, strict cancellation windows apply:
- Cancellation Window: Orders may be canceled or modified up to 12 hours after placement, provided the order has not already entered production or been handed over to our shipping carriers.
- How to Cancel: To cancel an order, log into your Savory Treats account and select “Cancel Order” in your dashboard, or contact our support team immediately at support@savorytreats.com.
- Late Cancellation Requests: Once an order is packaged, iced, or in transit with nationwide carriers (e.g., FedEx, UPS), it cannot be canceled, rerouted, or refunded.
3. Damaged, Thawed, or Incorrect Deliveries
We engineer our insulated packaging with dry ice or gel packs to ensure meals arrive cold and safe. However, if your delivery experiences unforeseen transit delays or damages, we are committed to making it right.
A. Qualifying Conditions for Credit or Replacement
You may be eligible for a replacement shipment or store credit if:
- Severe Thawing/Spoilage: Your meals arrive completely thawed, warm to the touch (above
/
), or damaged.
- Missing or Incorrect Items: An item listed on your order confirmation was omitted or swapped for an incorrect item.
- Severe Transit Packaging Damage: The outer shipping container arrives crushed or punctured in a way that directly compromised the vacuum sealing or safety of the internal food trays.
B. Reporting Requirements (24-Hour Rule)
To file a claim for a damaged, thawed, or incorrect order:
- You must contact customer support within 24 hours of delivery as recorded by the carrier’s tracking timestamp.
- You must provide clear photos showing:
- The outer shipping box and carrier tracking label.
- The condition of the internal meals/packaging.
- Any damaged or thawed items.
Important: Claims submitted without photographic proof or submitted after 24 hours of carrier delivery cannot be approved due to the perishable nature of the products.
4. Non-Refundable Circumstances
Savory Treats is not responsible for spoiled, ruined, or damaged shipments under the following conditions:
- Incorrect Address Provided: Shipments delivered late or misrouted due to an incorrect, incomplete, or invalid shipping address supplied during checkout.
- Failure to Retrieve Package: Packages left outdoors, in apartment lobbies, or in mailrooms for an extended period after carrier delivery confirmation.
- Rerouting Requests: Rerouting or changing the delivery address with the carrier after the package has shipped.
- Taste Preferences: Dislike of personal taste, texture, or seasoning choices. (We encourage reviewing item descriptions and ingredients prior to ordering).
- Failure to Follow Prep Instructions: Improper thawing, cooking, or storage after delivery (e.g., failing to place meals directly in the freezer upon receipt).
5. Refund Processing
When a claim is verified and approved by our support team:
- Remedy Options: Approved claims will be issued as either a replacement shipment dispatched on the next available shipping date or store credit applied to your account. Full monetary refunds to the original payment method are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- Processing Time: If a financial refund is issued, it will be processed to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal) within 5 to 7 business days, depending on your financial institution.
6. Chargeback Disclaimers
By completing a purchase on Savory Treats, you agree to contact our customer care team directly to resolve any order disputes before initiating a payment chargeback with your bank or credit card company. Unilateral chargebacks filed without contacting support or providing required delivery photos will be disputed using tracking data, temperature logs, and delivery confirmations.
