Returns, Refunds, and Damaged Shipments
Food Safety, All Sales Final
For health and sanitation reasons, all sales are final once checkout is completed. We do not accept returns for change of mind or taste preference.
Order Changes and Cancellations
Email support@thelittlebeekeeper.com within 12 hours of placing an order if you need to cancel or edit it. After the order ships, we cannot make changes.
We may modify the shipping carrier or service to an equivalent option if the address is invalid, the destination is undeliverable, a P.O. Box was entered, or the paid method does not cover actual shipping costs. We may cancel any order at our discretion and issue a refund if shipment is not possible.
If Your Order Arrives Damaged
We want to help quickly while meeting carrier requirements. Please follow these steps.
1) Contact us right away
Email support@thelittlebeekeeper.com within 48 hours of delivery. Use the subject line: Damaged in Transit, Order #. Include your order number and a short description of the damage and how many units are affected.
2) Keep everything
Do not discard the box, packing materials, or product. Carriers may request inspection. Discarding items before we advise you can void the claim.
3) Provide photos required by UPS
Attach the seven photos below. These are required for us to file a damage claim with the carrier.
-
A photo showing the damaged item and how it was packaged inside the box
-
A clear photo of the damaged item itself

-
A photo showing the top and two sides of the parcel
-
A photo showing the bottom and the opposite two sides of the parcel
We may request additional photos or information if the carrier asks for it.

-
Send a free replacement of the damaged items, subject to availability
-
Issue a refund to your original payment method for the damaged items
-
If the entire shipment is damaged and the claim is accepted, we will refund product and shipping
