Refund policy
Return & Refund Policy
Effective Date: 19 September 2026
At FarmSmart®, we are committed to delivering fresh, high-quality meat that is carefully selected, hygienically handled, freshly cut and delivered to your doorstep.
Since our products are fresh and perishable food items, we follow a specific return and refund policy to maintain food safety and hygiene standards.
1. No General Returns
Due to the perishable nature of fresh meat products, we do not accept returns or exchanges once the order has been delivered and accepted by the customer.
We request customers to check the order at the time of delivery and immediately report any issue to our customer support team.
2. When Can You Request a Refund or Replacement?
You may contact us if:
-
You received a wrong product or an item different from what you ordered.
-
An item is missing from your order.
-
The delivered quantity is significantly different from the quantity ordered.
-
The packaging is damaged, leaking or appears tampered with at the time of delivery.
-
You receive a product that appears to have a quality or freshness issue.
-
The product does not match the specifications or customization confirmed in your order.
-
There is any other genuine issue related to the fulfillment of your order.
All complaints will be reviewed by the FarmSmart team before a refund or replacement is approved.
3. Time Limit for Raising a Complaint
For quality, freshness, packaging, wrong-item or missing-item complaints, customers must contact FarmSmart within 2 hours of delivery.
For missing items or incorrect products, please report the issue as soon as possible.
Because our products are fresh and perishable, complaints raised after the specified period may not be eligible for a refund or replacement.
4. Photo/Video Evidence
For certain complaints, FarmSmart may request:
-
Photograph of the product received
-
Photograph of the packaging
-
Photograph of the order/invoice
-
Short video showing the issue, where applicable
This information helps us investigate the complaint and improve our quality and delivery processes.
Customers should not consume the product if they believe there is a food-quality or safety concern.
5. Refund Options
If a complaint is approved, FarmSmart may provide one of the following, depending on the nature of the issue:
-
Full or partial refund
-
Replacement of the affected item
-
Store credit
-
Refund of the affected product value
The resolution will depend on the specific circumstances of the complaint.
6. Refund Processing
Once a refund is approved, the refund will be initiated to the original payment method, wherever applicable.
The time taken for the amount to reflect in the customer's account may depend on the payment gateway, bank or payment service provider.
For Cash on Delivery orders, FarmSmart may contact the customer to arrange an appropriate refund method.
7. Order Cancellation
Orders may be cancelled before processing or preparation begins, subject to FarmSmart's confirmation.
Once an order has been accepted for preparation, cutting, packing or dispatch, cancellation may not be possible because the products are prepared specifically for the customer's order.
Customized cuts may be subject to additional cancellation restrictions once preparation has started.
8. Customized Cuts
FarmSmart offers customized meat cuts based on customer requirements.
Once a customized order has been prepared according to the customer's confirmed instructions, returns or cancellations due to a change of preference may not be accepted.
However, if FarmSmart has made an error in preparing the confirmed order, the customer may contact us within the applicable complaint period.
9. Incorrect Address or Customer Unavailability
Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery details and being available to receive the order.
If an order cannot be delivered because of:
-
Incorrect or incomplete address
-
Customer being unavailable
-
Customer refusing to accept the order
-
Failure to respond to delivery calls
-
Any other issue attributable to the customer
FarmSmart may not be able to provide a refund, particularly where the product has already been prepared or dispatched.
10. Delivery Delays
We make reasonable efforts to deliver orders within the estimated delivery time.
In the event of an unexpected delay caused by traffic, weather, operational issues, delivery-partner issues or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, please contact our support team.
Where the delay materially affects the quality or safety of the product, FarmSmart will review the matter and determine an appropriate resolution.
11. Food Safety
FarmSmart follows applicable food safety and hygiene requirements while handling, preparing, packing and delivering food products.
Customers should refrigerate the product promptly after delivery and follow appropriate food-storage and cooking practices.
If you believe that a product presents a food safety concern, do not consume it and contact FarmSmart immediately.
