Refund and Return Policy

At Groceries to Shop, we are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction with every purchase. We understand that sometimes circumstances arise where you may need to request a refund or return. This comprehensive policy outlines our procedures, requirements, and timelines to make the process as smooth and transparent as possible.

1. Eligibility for Returns and Refunds

We accept returns and refunds only under specific circumstances to ensure quality and safety:

• Damaged Products: Items that arrive damaged, spoiled, or in unsatisfactory condition.
• Incorrect Orders: Products that differ from what you ordered (wrong item, wrong quantity, or wrong size).

• Quality Issues: Products that do not meet our quality standards upon delivery.

Note: Perishable items (such as fresh produce, dairy, meats, and bakery items) may only be returned if they were damaged or spoiled upon delivery. Once delivered, we cannot accept returns of perishable items that have been properly stored.

2. Time Limit to Request a Return or Refund

Request Deadline: Within 24 hours of delivery

You must report any issues with your order within 24 hours of receiving your delivery. This timeframe allows us to investigate the issue while the situation is still fresh and ensures we can resolve it promptly. We kindly ask that you inspect your delivery immediately upon arrival and contact us within this period if you notice any problems.

• Original Packaging: Items should be in their original packaging when possible.
