Understanding our return, refund, and cancellation procedures

Last Updated: January 2025

1. Overview

At Pinnacle Naturals, we strive to ensure complete customer satisfaction with our fresh dairy products. This Refund & Cancellation Policy outlines the conditions and procedures for cancellations, returns, and refunds to provide clarity and transparency in our processes.

Our Commitment: We stand behind the quality of our products and are committed to resolving any issues promptly and fairly.

2. Order Cancellation Policy

2.1 Before Order Processing

Orders can be cancelled free of charge before they are processed for dispatch. You can cancel your order through:

  • Your account dashboard in our mobile app
  • Contacting our customer support team
  • Using the cancellation link in your order confirmation email

Cancellation Timeline

For same-day delivery orders, cancellations must be made at least 2 hours before the scheduled delivery time. For next-day delivery, cancellations can be made until 10 PM the day before delivery.

2.2 After Order Processing

Once your order has been processed and is out for delivery, cancellation may not be possible. However, you may refuse the delivery at your doorstep, and a full refund will be processed according to our refund timeline.

Important Note: Due to the perishable nature of our fresh dairy products, we cannot accept cancellations once the order has been delivered and received by you.

3. Return Policy

3.1 Eligible Returns

We accept returns under the following circumstances:

Quality Issues

Products that are spoiled, damaged, or do not meet our quality standards upon delivery.

Wrong Products

If you receive products different from what you ordered.

Packaging Issues

Products with damaged or compromised packaging that affects product quality.

Late Delivery

Orders delivered significantly beyond the promised delivery window, resulting in quality concerns.

3.2 Return Process

Step 1: Immediate Notification

Contact our customer support immediately upon discovering any issues. Returns must be reported within 30 minutes of delivery for fresh product and within 2 hours for other products.
