Marketplace Refund & Return Policy

Effective Date: [01/01/2025]
Last Updated: [06/01/2025]

 

At [Carnivore], we want you to feel confident shopping with our community of trusted sellers. Because our marketplace includes both perishable and non-perishable goods, different refund and return rules apply depending on the item.

 

Perishable Goods (e.g., meat, fresh food)

 

Due to the nature of perishable items, all sales are final, unless:

  • The product arrives damaged, spoiled, or unsafe to consume
  • You receive the wrong item
  • Your order is lost in transit or not delivered

To request a refund or replacement:

  • Contact the seller within 24 hours of delivery
  • Provide clear photos of the item and packaging
  • Include a description of the issue

The seller will determine whether to issue a refund, replacement, or store credit. Improper storage (e.g., not refrigerating your order) may void refund eligibility.

 

Non-Perishable Goods (e.g., tools, gear, shelf-stable items)

 

You may request a refund or return within 7 days of delivery if:

  • The item is unused and in its original packaging
  • The item is damaged, defective, or not as described

Returns may require you to:

  • Ship the item back to the seller
  • Pay for return shipping (unless the item is defective)

Please review individual product listings for any seller-specific return terms.

 

Non-Refundable Items

 

Some items are not eligible for return or refund, including:

  • Digital or downloadable products
  • Items marked “Final Sale” or “Non-Returnable”
  • Opened or used consumables (unless defective)
