Cancellation and Refund Policy

At Hansa Foods, customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that when you order food online—especially traditional, vacuum-sealed, ready-to-eat products—you expect freshness, safety, quality, and transparency. To ensure a smooth and trustworthy shopping experience for all our customers, we have created a clear, fair, and customer-centric Cancellation, Return, Replacement, and Refund Policy.

This policy outlines the circumstances under which cancellations, replacements, or refunds may be requested and processed. We encourage all customers to read this policy carefully before placing an order, as placing an order with Hansa Foods signifies acceptance of the terms mentioned below.

1. Our Commitment to Customers

Hansa Foods believes in assisting its customers as far as reasonably possible. We follow a liberal yet practical policy that balances customer convenience with the nature of our products. Since we deal primarily in food items, especially vacuum-sealed, ready-to-eat traditional foods, certain limitations apply in the interest of hygiene, food safety, and quality assurance.

While we strive to accommodate customer requests wherever feasible, some requests may not be entertained once the order reaches a certain stage of processing or dispatch.

2. Order Cancellation Policy

2.1 Eligibility for Cancellation

Customers may request an order cancellation only on the same day the order is placed. Cancellation requests submitted after the same day will not be considered under any circumstances.

2.2 Conditions for Acceptance of Cancellation

A cancellation request will be reviewed and considered only if:

  • The request is made on the same day of placing the order, and

  • The order has not yet been communicated to the vendor, merchant, or shipping partner, and

  • The order processing or shipping process has not been initiated

Once an order has been confirmed and communicated to vendors or merchants, or if packaging and shipping processes have begun, cancellation requests will not be entertained.

2.3 Non-Cancellable Orders

Orders that have entered any of the following stages cannot be cancelled:

  • Order has been packed

  • Order has been vacuum sealed

  • Order has been handed over to the courier partner

  • Order is already shipped or dispatched

Since our products involve food preparation and vacuum sealing, cancellations beyond this stage can lead to wastage and compromise food safety standards.

3. Return Policy

3.1 General Return Restrictions

Due to the perishable and consumable nature of our products, Hansa Foods does not accept general return requests once an order has been delivered.

Returns are not accepted in cases where:

  • The taste preference does not match personal expectations.

  • The product has been opened, consumed, or partially used.

4. Exceptions: Damaged, Swollen, or Defective Products

While we do not accept routine returns, exceptions are made strictly under the following conditions:

4.1 Damaged Products

If a customer receives a product that is physically damaged, torn, leaking, or compromised during transit, the issue must be reported immediately.

4.2 Swollen Vacuum Packs

Vacuum-sealed food safety is extremely important to us. If a customer receives a swollen packet, this indicates potential spoilage or seal failure.

Such cases are eligible for replacement or refund, subject to verification.

4.3 Defective or Poor Quality Products

If the customer believes that the quality of the product delivered is not satisfactory, they must provide evidence to support the claim. Refund or replacement requests will only be processed after quality verification.

5. Reporting Damaged or Defective Items

5.1 Mandatory Reporting Timeline

All complaints related to:

  • Damaged items

  • Defective products

  • Swollen packets

  • Incorrect products

  • Product not matching website description

must be reported on the same day of receiving the product.

Requests reported after the same day of delivery will not be entertained, as delayed reporting may compromise verification.

5.2 Mandatory Photo Evidence

To ensure transparency and fairness, customers must provide clear photographic evidence of the issue.

Photos should include:

  • Outer packaging

  • Inner vacuum-sealed packet

  • Close-up images showing damage, swelling, or defect

5.3 Email Submission

Customers must email the photos along with order details to:

📧 hansavacuumfoods@gmail.com

The email should clearly mention:

  • Order ID

  • Product name

  • Nature of the issue

  • Date of delivery

Incomplete submissions may delay or invalidate the request.

6. Verification Process

Once a complaint is received:

  1. The Customer Service Team will review the complaint and images

  2. The issue will be forwarded to the merchant/vendor for internal verification

  3. The merchant will inspect the claim at their end

  4. A final decision will be made based on verification results

Please note that Hansa Foods reserves the right to accept or reject any request after thorough review.

7. Product Not as Expected or Not Matching Website Description

If a customer feels that the product received:

  • Does not match the images shown on the website

  • Is not as described in the product details

  • Does not meet reasonable expectations

They must notify the Customer Service Team on the same day of receiving the product.

The complaint will be assessed, and an appropriate decision will be taken after review. Decisions made by Hansa Foods in such cases shall be final and binding.

8. Replacement Policy

8.1 Eligibility for Replacement

Replacements are provided only in cases of:

  • Verified damaged products

  • Swollen vacuum packets

9. Refund Policy

9.1 Refund Approval

Refunds are initiated only after approval by Hansa Foods following verification.

Refunds will not be provided without:

  • Valid reason

  • Proper evidence

  • Timely reporting

9.2 Refund Processing Time

Once a refund is approved, the amount will be processed within 3 to 5 working days to the customer’s original payment method.

Please note:

  • Banks or payment gateways may take additional time to reflect the amount

  • Hansa Foods is not responsible for delays caused by third-party payment providers
