Cancellation Fees
Once an order has been dispatched, it is not always possible to cancel an order due to the quick delivery times. You may need to wait for your parcel to be delivered and then return the order as outlined on our Returns Policy.
We can try contacting the courier to see if we can get your order returned to us. Please note that this can take a few weeks and unfortunately is not guaranteed if the parcel is being held by Customs. If we do manage to get your order returned to us, we can refund you for the cost of the goods only, minus our international shipping rate to your delivery country. No original shipping cost will be refunded.
AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
Delivery will be completed when we, or our authorised courier company, deliver the Products to the address you gave us. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we, or our authorised courier company, will follow the delivery instructions provided to us by you. If no leave safe instructions are specified, the order will be left in an area that the authorised courier company considers safe.
The leave safe location specified by you shall be within the area of the delivery address and shall be accessible to the courier. We will endeavour to follow any delivery instructions you provide but this cannot be guaranteed.
The courier company may try to contact you on the telephone so that delivery can take place. The delivery driver will use the telephone number associated with your account, which may also be printed on the delivery label.
Your order shall be fulfilled once the courier delivers the order at the safe spot specified by you or the order is considered safe by the courier.
If the personal handover of the order is not possible and no leave safe is available Melts & Treats may also deliver the order to a nearby household or business. A household or business shall be regarded ‘nearby’ if the recipient resides in the same building as the original addressee. In addition, the order may also be delivered to a recipient residing in proximate walking distance to the delivery address (e.g. same housing complex, building on the opposite side of the street, next-door building). All aforementioned nearby households and businesses are subsequently referred to as “neighbours”.
The customer will be notified of such delivery to a neighbour by delivery notice or via email.
If neither a personal handover nor a delivery to a neighbour is possible, you will be in default of acceptance.
Melts & Treats will not attempt a further delivery. You are obliged to bear all expenses related to aforesaid default of acceptance.
Melts & Treats reserves the right to change your delivery date with prior notice. If we have left your Products in your safe place, or another place deemed safe by our driver, and they are stolen or damaged, we do not accept liability, but may offer you a refund or other compensation at our complete discretion.
RISK AND TITLE
Once the delivery is completed, according to the preceding paragraph (i.e. signed for by a customer, left in a safe spot as specified by the customer or considered safe by authorised courier company, or delivered to a neighbour if no leave safe is provided or available) the risk of any damage or loss of the order will be with the customer. Melts & Treats shall not be held liable for any damage, defect or loss which may occur thereafter.
You are fully responsible for any damages or losses due to any ambiguity regarding the safe spot specified by you – Melts & Treats are not obliged to review the safe spot as to its general suitability.
Refusal of the order does not negate the charge for the Services. Melts & Treats will not be liable for any losses sustained by the customer relating to a refusal of delivery by our authorised courier company.
CHRISTMAS DELIVERY DATES
In the lead up to Christmas the postal services come under a lot more pressure and we always see many more packages taking longer than normal to arrive.
To guarantee you receive your order for Christmas, we recommend you place your order before the 10th December. If your order is placed after this, then we cannot guarantee delivery and thus your order may arrive after the Christmas period.
