Refund Policy
Due to the handmade and perishable nature of our jam, all sales are final.
We are unable to accept returns or exchanges once a product has been picked up, delivered, or shipped. If your order arrives damaged, incorrect, or missing an item, please contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order at schoniger.stephanie@gmail.com with your order number and photos of the issue. We will do our best to make it right with a replacement, store credit, or refund at our discretion.
We do not offer refunds for taste preferences, failure to follow storage instructions, delayed pickup, or products that have been opened, improperly stored, or left unrefrigerated after opening.
