Preparing your item(s) for return
When returning products to us, please ensure:
- You have included all accessories, parts and any other contents of the original packaging;
- That everything is in the condition required per these terms;
- Where we have organised a courier collection, that you include the paperwork or reference numbers that we send you when giving it to the courier;
- That you package the items safely for the return transit; If items are damaged on the way back to us, we may not be able to process your return.
Return evaluation process
If you return an item, we will have to receive and inspect it before processing a refund or exchange. We will need to ensure it meets the conditions outlined above; if it does not, we will contact you to either arrange to get the item(s) back or let you know if we have another way forward. Please allow up to 3 working days from receipt of a return for us to inspect the items returned. We will notify you once we have.
Damages in transit
Please be sure to inspect your order upon receipt, and let us know as soon as possible, and within a maximum of 7 days, about the issue. Please include as much detail as possible about the damage or any other issues. Where possible, please include photographs of the damage.
If a package is visibly damaged when the courier arrives, we would ask you to either decline delivery and let us know, or request that the courier notes it on their waybill or electronic device and let us know. This will ensure that we can make claims with the couriers where necessary.
Incorrect items delivered
If we accidentally deliver the wrong items to you, please let us know as soon as possible, and within a maximum 7 days, by contacting us on any of our electronic channels or simply replying to your order confirmation email. We will make sure to arrange for incorrect items to be swapped. Please understand that we will need to get the incorrect items back before dispatching the correct items.
Exceptions to return/refund policy
Perishable products, including coffee beans, cannot be returned.
If you suspect that there is a quality issue with any of the coffee beans you receive us, please let us know by emailing orders@fingerscrossed.coffee
Please remember that beans will be at their best when they are fresh so, please use them within a few weeks of purchasing. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee that what you order will be to your personal taste and cannot accept returns on the basis that you did not enjoy the coffee.
