Returns Policy
American Sweets is committed to providing our customers with the very best
customer service. American Sweets complies fully with the Consumer
Contracts Regulations 2013 legislation.
Returns and Refunds
American Sweets is happy to accept and refund unopened items, for any reason,
within 14 days of delivery, from the following product ranges:
- Sweets and Candy
- Food and Groceries
- Drinks and Soda
American Sweets cannot accept any returns for perishable or bespoke goods. This includes:
- Sweets and Candy with less than 2 months best before date upon delivery
- Food and Groceries with less than 2 months best before date upon delivery
- Drinks and Soda with less than 2 months best before date upon delivery
- Gift hampers
If you change your mind about a product that we can accept for a return
(non-perishable goods), we will be happy to refund the basic cost of
delivery of getting those goods to you in the first place. You must
cover the cost for returning unwanted goods; we won't refund the amount
you pay to get the goods back to us.
In the event that
your order arrives in a damaged or faulty condition, American Sweets is
happy to offer a free replacement upon the production of photographic
evidence. This evidence is required simply so that we may process a
claim with our courier and recover the cost of the damaged goods.
American Sweets is happy to offer a refund for damaged goods should you
wish to return them to us instead.
Heat Damaged Items
Please note that in summer
months there is some risk that chocolate or other heat-sensitive candies
will arrive melted. Unfortunately, we cannot control the temperature
and conditions the products are exposed to once they leave our
fulfilment centre. Delivery trucks can get very hot in the summer months
and chocolate is bound to melt. These items will return to their normal
state if they are allowed to cool or placed in the fridge. We do not
consider these items defective or damaged and our returns policy does
not apply to them.
