Returns & Refund Policy
Satisfaction Guarantee
At Nutricas, every batch of our Oolong Tea is sourced directly from the Yunnan Highlands with care and held to strict quality standards before it reaches you. We want every customer to feel confident in every order, and the policy below explains how returns, refunds, cancellations, and replacements are handled.
1. Damaged or Defective Items
If your Nutricas Oolong Tea arrives damaged or defective, please contact us within 7 days of delivery at sales@nutricas.com.
To help us resolve the issue quickly, please include clear photos or a short video showing the damage. Once verified, we will arrange one of the following at no cost to you:
- A free replacement shipment, or
- A full refund issued to your original payment method.
2. Satisfaction Guarantee for Unopened Items
We accept returns of sealed, unopened tea packs within 90 days of purchase.
- If you ordered multiple units, any unopened packs are eligible for a full refund.
- Returned items must be in their original packaging and condition, accompanied by proof of purchase.
3. Dissatisfaction with a Product (Used Items)
We understand that taste is personal, and not every blend is the right fit for every customer and that’s completely okay. Because our teas are consumable items, any opened or used packs are not eligible for a refund.
That said, our team will always do our best to help you out. If you wish to make a return, please follow the policies and steps outlined in our Return and Refund Policy. Your feedback is also greatly appreciated, as it helps us continue refining our product and improving your overall Nutricas Oolong Tea experience.
4. Exclusions
Refunds are not available in the following circumstances:
- Items returned after the stated return period.
- Opened products when multiple packs were purchased.
- Products damaged due to misuse, improper storage (humidity, pests, exposure to heat, etc.), or customer negligence.
Cancellation and Amendment
If you need to make changes or cancel your order, contact us immediately after placing it at sales@nutricas.com.
Once an order hits our systems, it can’t be edited. It’s also very rare that our warehouse can stop the shipping process once they have your details since they use an automated system. We will try to prevent it from being shipped, but please be aware that this is not usually possible.
If it is too late to cancel the order, you will need to follow our Returns process.
Return Policy
When returning tea:
- Request a return first at sales@nutricas.com as items sent back without approval won’t be accepted.
- Once approved, we’ll provide the return address and instructions.
- Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to damage or defect.
- Please share the tracking number once shipped so we can monitor the return.
Refunds will be credited back to your original payment method. Please allow 7–10 business days (depending on your bank) after we receive and process the return.
Important:
- We cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
- If more than 15 business days pass after your return is marked as delivered and you haven’t heard from us, please email us.
European Union 14-day cooling off period
Notwithstanding the above, if the merchandise is being shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without justification. As above, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
Replacement
We’ll send you a replacement free of charge if:
- Your tea arrived damaged or defective,
- Or items were missing from your order.
Not eligible for replacement:
- Products damaged by customers,
- Discarded tea packs (we require photos or videos to validate claims).
If the issue is reported within 90 days of delivery and verified, we’ll ship out a replacement. You do not need to return the defective tea.
