Refund and Returns Policy – CactusAndSucculentLover
Effective Date: August 26, 2026
CactusAndSucculentLover (“CactusAndSucculentLover,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) wants you to be happy with your cacti, succulents, and plant-care products. Because we sell living plants, our refund and returns process differs from standard merchandise and is outlined below. This policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
- Live Arrival Guarantee a. We guarantee that your live plant(s) will arrive alive and in good condition. If your plant arrives damaged, wilted, or otherwise unhealthy due to shipping, please contact us within 24-48 hours of delivery at customer-service@cactusandsucculentlover.com.
b. To process a live arrival claim, please include your order number, clear photos of the plant(s) and the packaging as received, and a brief description of the issue. Claims submitted without photos or outside the required time frame may not be eligible for a refund or replacement.
c. Depending on the circumstances, we will offer a replacement plant, store credit, or a refund at our discretion.
d. The live arrival guarantee covers damage or condition issues that occur during shipping. It does not cover plant decline or death after successful delivery due to improper care, environmental conditions, pests introduced after receipt, or failure to follow provided care instructions. - Order Issues (Wrong or Missing Items) If you receive the wrong plant or product, or an item is missing from your order, please contact us within 7 days of delivery at customer-service@cactusandsucculentlover.com with your order number and photos where applicable. We will arrange a correction, replacement, or refund as appropriate.
- Non-Plant Products (Pots, Soil, Tools, and Accessories) a. Unopened, unused, non-plant products in their original packaging may be returned within 14 days of delivery for a refund or store credit, minus original shipping costs.
b. To initiate a return, contact us at customer-service@cactusandsucculentlover.com with your order number. We will provide return instructions, including the return address. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the return is due to our error (e.g., wrong or defective item).
c. Refunds for eligible returns will be issued to the original payment method within 5-10 business days of our receiving and inspecting the returned item.
d. Due to the nature of living organisms, live plants are generally not eligible for return once delivered in good condition; see Section 1 for live arrival issues. - Non-Returnable Items The following items are not eligible for return or refund, except as required by law or as described in our Live Arrival Guarantee:
a. Live plants that have arrived alive and in good condition.
b. Gift cards.
c. Clearance, discount-bin, or final-sale items, as marked at the time of purchase.
d. Items damaged due to customer misuse, neglect, improper transplanting, or failure to follow care instructions. - Cancellations a. Orders may be canceled for a full refund if the request is received before the order has shipped or entered the packing process.
b. Once an order has shipped, it cannot be canceled; standard return procedures (where applicable) will apply.
c. In-person appointments and pickup order reservations may be canceled or rescheduled by contacting us at least 24 hours in advance where possible. - Pickup Orders a. Pickup orders must be collected within the time frame communicated at checkout or by email. Please inspect your plant(s) at the time of pickup; live arrival claims are not applicable to pickup orders once accepted in person.
b. Unclaimed pickup orders may be canceled, restocked, or subject to additional handling fees. - Damaged or Defective Non-Plant Items If a non-plant product arrives damaged or defective, please contact us within 7 days of delivery at customer-service@cactusandsucculentlover.com with photos of the item and packaging. We will offer a replacement, repair, or refund at our discretion.
- How to Start a Return or Claim To start a return, exchange, live arrival claim, or refund request:
a. Email us at customer-service@cactusandsucculentlover.com with your order number, a description of the issue, and photos where applicable.
b. Our team will review your request and respond with next steps, typically within 1-2 business days.
c. Please do not send items back to us without first contacting us for return instructions. - Refund Processing Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method used at checkout. Please allow 5-10 business days after approval for the refund to appear, depending on your bank or payment provider.
