Shipping Return Policy for Food and Frozen Goods
At Güzel Cakes Gourmet Desserts, we strive to provide our customers with the highest quality food and frozen goods. We understand that there may be situations where a customer needs to initiate a return for shipped items. This shipping return policy is designed to ensure a fair and satisfactory experience for our customers.
General Return Guidelines
1.1 Eligible Items
Only unopened and unused food and frozen goods are eligible for return. Perishable items, such as fresh produce, meat, dairy, and baked goods, cannot be returned due to health and safety regulations. Non-food items, such as kitchenware or merchandise, may have separate return policies.
1.2 Timeframe
Returns must be initiated within (3) days from the delivery date as indicated by the shipping carrier's tracking information. After this timeframe, we will assume the customer has accepted the product, and returns will not be accepted.
1.3 Packaging and Condition
Returned items must be in their original packaging, unopened, and in resalable condition. The packaging should be intact and secure to ensure proper food safety during transit. Please ensure that the items are appropriately protected and insulated for their return journey.
Reasons for Returns
2.1 Quality Issues
If you receive food or frozen goods that are defective, spoiled, or significantly different from what was described or expected, please contact us immediately. We may require specific details and evidence, such as photographs, to assess the issue and determine if a return is appropriate.
2.2 Shipping Errors
In the event of a shipping error on our part, such as incorrect products, quantities, or delivery to the wrong address, please contact us as soon as possible. We will work with you to rectify the issue, which may involve a return, exchange, or refund.
