Return Policy

Last Updated:

1. Our Commitment to Quality

At Ghythrelsvyxao, we are dedicated to providing healthy, high-quality plants and exceptional customer service. We understand that purchasing living plants comes with unique considerations, and we want you to feel confident in every purchase you make from us.

This Return Policy outlines the terms and conditions for returns, exchanges, and refunds. Please read this policy carefully before making a purchase. By placing an order with us, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Return Policy.

2. General Return Guidelines

Due to the living nature of our products, our return policy differs from standard retail policies. We have established specific guidelines to ensure fairness for both our customers and our business while maintaining the health and quality of our plants.

2.1 Return Eligibility Period

Returns must be initiated within 7 days of delivery. This timeframe allows you to inspect your plants upon arrival and notify us of any issues while ensuring the plants remain in returnable condition.

2.2 Condition Requirements

To be eligible for return, plants must be:

  • In their original condition as delivered
  • In the original packaging or container
  • Accompanied by proof of purchase
  • Free from damage caused by improper care or handling after delivery
  • Reported to us within the eligibility period with photographic evidence

3. Acceptable Reasons for Returns

We accept returns under the following circumstances:

3.1 Delivery Damage

If your plant arrives damaged due to shipping or handling during transit, we will gladly accept a return or provide a replacement. You must notify us within 48 hours of delivery and provide clear photographs showing:

  • The damaged plant from multiple angles
  • The packaging condition
  • Any visible shipping damage to the box or container

We will review the evidence and arrange for a replacement or full refund, including shipping costs.

3.2 Incorrect Product

If you receive a plant that differs from what you ordered, please contact us immediately. We will arrange for the correct plant to be sent to you at no additional cost, and you may keep or return the incorrect plant as we direct.

3.3 Quality Issues Upon Arrival

If your plant arrives with pre-existing health issues that were not caused by shipping, such as disease, severe pest infestation, or root problems, we will work with you to resolve the issue. You must provide photographic evidence within 48 hours of delivery. We may offer:

  • Care instructions to help recover the plant
  • A partial refund to compensate for the condition
  • A full replacement at no charge
  • A complete refund including shipping costs

3.4 Missing Items

If items are missing from your order, please notify us within 48 hours of delivery. We will promptly send the missing items or provide a refund for those items.

4. Non-Returnable Circumstances

We cannot accept returns in the following situations:

4.1 Change of Mind

Due to the perishable nature of living plants, we cannot accept returns simply because you changed your mind about a purchase. We encourage you to carefully review product descriptions and care requirements before ordering.

4.2 Improper Care After Delivery

Plants that decline due to improper care after delivery are not eligible for return. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Overwatering or underwatering
  • Exposure to extreme temperatures
  • Inadequate or excessive light
  • Physical damage from handling or pets
  • Pest infestations that occur after delivery
  • Failure to follow provided care instructions

4.3 Natural Plant Characteristics

The following are natural characteristics of living plants and do not qualify for returns:

  • Minor leaf variations in size, shape, or color
  • Natural leaf drop during acclimation
  • Slight differences from product photographs
  • Seasonal variations in appearance
  • Natural growth patterns and habits

4.4 Delayed Inspection

Returns requested after the 7-day eligibility period will not be accepted unless there are exceptional circumstances that we agree to in writing.

5. Return Process

To initiate a return, please follow these steps:

5.1 Contact Us

Reach out to our customer service team within the applicable timeframe by:

  • Email: business@ghythrelsvyxao.world
  • Phone: +353 1 459 2013

Provide your order number, description of the issue, and clear photographs of the plant and packaging.

5.2 Return Authorization

Our team will review your request and photographs. If your return is approved, we will provide you with:

  • A return authorization number
  • Instructions for returning the plant
  • Information about refund or replacement options

Do not return any plants without first receiving authorization from us.

5.3 Packaging and Shipping

If we request that you return the plant:

  • Pack the plant securely in its original packaging if possible
  • Include the return authorization number with the shipment
  • Ship the plant using the method we specify
  • Retain tracking information for your records

In most cases involving damaged or defective plants, we will not require you to return the plant and will process your refund or replacement based on the photographic evidence provided.

6. Refund Policy

6.1 Refund Methods

Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase. Refund processing times vary depending on your payment provider but typically occur within 5-10 business days after approval.

6.2 Refund Amounts

Depending on the circumstances, refunds may include:

  • Full product price
  • Original shipping costs (if the return is due to our error or product defect)
  • Partial refund for minor issues that don't warrant a full return

6.3 Non-Refundable Items

The following are not refundable:

  • Shipping costs for returns due to change of mind
  • Gift wrapping or special packaging fees
  • Expedited shipping upgrades
  • Custom or special order items (unless defective)

7. Exchange Policy

We are happy to offer exchanges for plants that arrive damaged or defective. If you prefer an exchange rather than a refund:

  • Contact us within the eligibility period
  • Provide the required photographic evidence
  • Specify that you would like an exchange

We will send a replacement plant as soon as possible, typically within 3-7 business days. Exchanges are subject to product availability. If the exact plant is unavailable, we will offer a comparable alternative or a refund.

8. Delivery Issues

8.1 Failed Delivery Attempts

If delivery fails due to incorrect address information you provided or your unavailability to receive the shipment, you are responsible for any redelivery fees. Plants that are returned to us due to failed delivery may be subject to a restocking fee.

8.2 Lost or Stolen Packages

We are not responsible for packages that are confirmed delivered by the carrier but reported as lost or stolen. We recommend:

  • Tracking your delivery and arranging to be present
  • Providing a secure delivery location
  • Requesting signature confirmation for valuable orders

If you believe your package was stolen, please file a report with local authorities and contact us. We will work with you to resolve the situation on a case-by-case basis.

8.3 Weather-Related Delays

We monitor weather conditions and may delay shipments to protect plant health. If your delivery is delayed due to extreme weather, we will notify you and reschedule delivery for the earliest safe date. These delays do not qualify for refunds as they are necessary to ensure your plants arrive in good condition.

9. Plant Health Guarantee

We stand behind the quality of our plants. All plants are inspected before shipping to ensure they meet our health standards. However, we understand that issues can arise during transit or shortly after delivery.

9.1 Initial Health Guarantee

We guarantee that your plants will arrive healthy and in good condition. If you experience issues within 7 days of delivery that are not due to improper care, we will work with you to make it right through replacement, refund, or care support.

9.2 Acclimation Period

Plants may experience minor stress when adjusting to a new environment. This is normal and typically resolves within 1-2 weeks. Signs of normal acclimation include:

  • Slight leaf drooping that recovers with watering
  • Loss of 1-2 older leaves
  • Temporary pause in new growth

These are not defects and do not qualify for returns. We provide care instructions with every order to help your plants acclimate successfully.

10. Special Circumstances

10.1 Bulk Orders

Orders of 10 or more plants may have modified return terms. Please contact us before placing large orders to discuss our bulk order policies and any applicable guarantees.

10.2 Seasonal Considerations

During extreme weather periods (very hot or very cold), we may implement additional shipping restrictions or modified return policies to protect plant health. These will be communicated at the time of purchase.

10.3 Gift Orders

If you purchased plants as a gift, the recipient may initiate a return following the same guidelines outlined in this policy. Refunds for gift orders will be issued to the original purchaser's payment method.

11. Customer Responsibilities

To ensure the best outcome for your plant purchase:

  • Inspect your plants immediately upon delivery
  • Report any issues within the specified timeframes
  • Provide clear photographs when requested
  • Follow the care instructions provided with your plants
  • Maintain appropriate growing conditions
  • Contact us with questions before problems become severe

12. Our Commitment to Resolution

We value your satisfaction and will work diligently to resolve any issues with your order. Our goal is to ensure you have a positive experience with both our products and our customer service. If you encounter any problems, please reach out to us promptly so we can assist you.
