1. PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

At Triple A Food Mart, customer satisfaction and product safety are top priorities.

3. PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS – REFUND & RETURN RULES

Food safety laws in the United States do not allow resale or return of perishable goods once they leave our possession. For this reason:

3.1 Perishable items cannot be returned once accepted.

Once an order containing food items is:

• delivered and signed for, or
  
  
• picked up and accepted in good condition,
  
  

it becomes final and non-returnable.

This applies to:

• fresh vegetables
  
  
• smoked chicken
  
  
• processed goat meat
  
  
• frozen food
  
  
• leafy greens
  
  
• farm produce
  
  

No exceptions can be made once the product is accepted in good condition.

4. WHEN REFUNDS OR REPLACEMENTS ARE POSSIBLE FOR FOOD ITEMS

Refunds or replacements for perishable items will only be issued under the conditions below.
