FRESHOFFTHEBOAT Return & Refund Policy
Last Updated: August 18, 2026
At FRESHOFFTHEBOAT, we want customers to be satisfied with their orders. Because we sell grocery, food, and specialty products, certain products may not be eligible for return due to food-safety, health, and hygiene considerations.
Please review this policy before placing your order.

Be in its original packaging

Include all original accessories, labels, and components, where applicable

Return Shipping
Customers may be responsible for return shipping costs when a return is based on preference, change of mind, or another reason not caused by FRESHOFFTHEBOAT.
If we confirm that you received a damaged, defective, or incorrect product, we will provide instructions regarding the appropriate resolution.
Original shipping charges are generally non-refundable unless the refund results from an error by FRESHOFFTHEBOAT or applicable law requires otherwise.
Refunds
Once an eligible returned item is received and inspected, we will notify you regarding the status of your refund.
If approved, the refund will be issued to the original payment method.
After a refund is issued, your bank, card issuer, or payment provider may require additional processing time before the funds appear in your account.
Order Cancellations
If you need to cancel an order, contact us as soon as possible.
We cannot guarantee cancellation once an order has entered processing, packing, or shipping.
If we are able to cancel the order before shipment, any applicable refund will be issued to the original payment method.
Missing Orders
If tracking indicates that an order has been delivered but you cannot locate it, please:
-
Check around the delivery location
-
Check with other members of your household
-
Check with neighbors where appropriate
-
Contact the shipping carrier
You may also contact us so we can review the available shipping information.
