Refunds, Returns & Cancellation

Transparent policies designed with your food safety and satisfaction at the forefront.

Last Updated: October 12, 2026• FSSAI & E-Commerce Compliant

Hygienic Food Packaging & Consumer Satisfaction Guarantee

At The Nuts Cart, every batch of almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, and dates is nitrogen-flushed, vacuum-sealed, and packaged under certified cleanroom standards. Because our offerings are perishable food products, our returns and refund policies follow strict FSSAI safety protocols while ensuring you never bear the cost of any transit issue.

48-Hour Transit Protection Guarantee: If your package arrives damaged, unsealed, or incorrect, notify our team within 48 hours of delivery. We provide an immediate free replacement or a 100% full refund.

1Eligible Return & Replacement Scenarios

To preserve health safety, opened food items cannot be restocked. However, you are 100% covered for a complimentary replacement or refund under these conditions:

Damaged In Transit
Outer courier shipping carton is crushed or the inner nitrogen-flush airtight pouch seal has ruptured during transit.
Wrong Item Received
The items delivered differ from your confirmed invoice (e.g. wrong weight variant, missing custom combo ingredient).
Quality Anomalies
Loss of vacuum seal causing moisture ingress before the packaging expiration date.

2Order Cancellation Guidelines

We pack freshly roasted and harvested nuts on demand to ensure peak crispness:

  • Before Courier Dispatch: You may cancel your order at zero cost by contacting customer care via WhatsApp or email before the dispatch status is triggered. A 100% full refund is initiated immediately.
  • After Courier Handover: Once an Airway Bill (AWB) is generated and the consignment is in physical transit with Delhivery/BlueDart, an in-transit order cannot be cancelled as food parcels cannot undergo prolonged holding.

3Refund Processing Timelines

Once a refund is approved by our quality control desk, 100% of your payment is credited directly back to your original payment source (Bank / UPI / Card):

5Non-Returnable Situations

In accordance with FSSAI regulations, returns or refunds cannot be processed in the following events:

  • Claims submitted after 48 hours from the timestamp of confirmed courier delivery.
  • Products where the inner tamper seal was intentionally broken or partially consumed.
  • Subjective personal taste preferences on natural agro-produce (e.g. natural sweetness differences between harvest crops).
  • Improper post-delivery storage (e.g. exposing nuts to moisture or direct sunlight instead of storing in a cool, airtight container).
