Refund Policy

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

1. Introduction

At Hangry Joe's, customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. We take great pride in the quality of our food, the accuracy of our orders, and the reliability of our service. We understand, however, that issues can occasionally arise, and we are committed to resolving them fairly and promptly.

This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds, partial refunds, exchanges, and cancellations are accepted, as well as the procedures you must follow to submit a valid request. This policy applies to all orders placed through our website at hangryjoes-meal.top and is governed by applicable consumer protection laws of the United States, including relevant state regulations.

If you have any questions about this policy before placing an order, please contact us at [email protected] prior to completing your purchase.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

Not all situations automatically qualify for a refund. To be eligible for a refund from Hangry Joe's, your request must meet one or more of the following conditions:

• Incorrect Order: You received items that are different from what you ordered as confirmed in your order summary and receipt.
• Missing Items: One or more items included in your confirmed order were not delivered or included in your package.
• Food Quality Issues: The food delivered was spoiled, contaminated, undercooked, or otherwise unfit for consumption at the time of delivery.
• Significant Delay: Your order experienced an unreasonable and significant delay beyond the estimated delivery window communicated at the time of checkout, rendering the food unusable.
• Duplicate Charges: Your payment method was charged more than once for the same order due to a technical or processing error.
• Order Not Delivered: Your order was confirmed and paid for but was never delivered to your specified address, and delivery confirmation cannot be verified.
• Allergen Errors: The order contained allergens that you explicitly disclosed and requested to be excluded at the time of ordering, posing a potential health risk.

All refund requests are subject to review and verification by our customer service team. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval. Hangry Joe's reserves the right to request supporting documentation, including photographs of the received items, before processing any refund.

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure that refund requests can be properly investigated, we require that all claims be submitted within specific timeframes. Requests submitted outside these windows may not be honored.

Given the perishable nature of food products, we strongly encourage customers to inspect their orders immediately upon receipt and contact us as soon as possible if any issue is identified. Delays in reporting may significantly impact our ability to verify claims and process refunds.

4. Non-Refundable Items and Services

Certain items and circumstances are not eligible for refunds. Please review the following list carefully before submitting a request:

• Change of Mind: Refunds are not issued for orders where you simply changed your mind after the order was placed and preparation has begun.
• Incorrect Delivery Address: If an order was not delivered due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer at checkout, a refund will not be issued.
• Consumed Items: Refund requests for items that have been partially or fully consumed, unless the request relates to a food safety or allergen concern, will not be honored.
• Delivery Fees: Delivery charges are non-refundable except in cases where the order was not delivered at all due to an error on our part.
• Promotional and Discounted Items: Items purchased using promotional discounts, special deals, or complimentary offers are not eligible for monetary refunds but may be reviewed for exchanges at our discretion.
• Service Fees and Platform Charges: Any applicable service fees charged at checkout are non-refundable once an order is confirmed.
• Customer Unavailability: If delivery was attempted and failed due to the customer being unreachable or unavailable at the delivery address, no refund will be issued.

5. How to Request a Refund (Step-by-Step)

To submit a refund request with Hangry Joe's, please follow the steps outlined below. Adhering to this process ensures that your claim is handled as efficiently as possible.

1. Step 1 – Document the Issue: Before contacting us, take clear photographs of the incorrect, missing, or problematic item(s), including the packaging and any visible defects or discrepancies. This documentation will support your claim.
2. Step 2 – Locate Your Order Confirmation: Retrieve your order confirmation email or receipt, which contains your order number, itemized list of purchases, and transaction details. You will need this information when submitting your request.
3. Step 3 – Contact Our Customer Service Team: Reach out to us via email at [email protected]. In your email, include the following information:
   • Your full name
   • Your order number
   • The date and time of your order
   • A clear description of the issue
   • Your preferred resolution (refund, replacement, or store credit)
   • Any supporting photographs or documentation
4. Step 4 – Await Acknowledgment: Our customer service team will acknowledge receipt of your request within 1–2 business days. We may follow up with additional questions or requests for further documentation.
5. Step 5 – Review and Decision: Our team will review your claim and make a decision within 3–5 business days of receiving all necessary information. You will be notified of the outcome via email.
6. Step 6 – Refund Processing: If your request is approved, your refund will be processed according to the timelines described in Section 6 of this policy.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund has been approved, the time it takes for the funds to appear in your account depends on your original payment method. The following are estimated processing timelines:

Please note that while Hangry Joe's processes refunds promptly upon approval, your financial institution or payment provider may impose additional processing times beyond our control. If you have not received your refund within the timeframe listed above, we recommend contacting your bank or payment provider directly. You may also reach out to us at [email protected] for assistance.

7. Partial Refunds

In certain situations, Hangry Joe's may approve a partial refund rather than a full refund. Partial refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:

• Only a portion of your order was incorrect, missing, or unsatisfactory, while the remainder was delivered as expected.
• The food quality issue affected only specific items within a larger order.
• A delivery delay impacted only part of an order (e.g., a multi-item order where some items arrived in acceptable condition).
• The customer has already consumed part of the order at the time the refund request is submitted, except in cases involving confirmed food safety concerns.

The amount of a partial refund will be calculated based on the value of the affected items, excluding delivery fees and non-refundable charges. Our customer service team will communicate the partial refund amount to you prior to processing, giving you the opportunity to accept or dispute the offered resolution.

8. Exchange Policy

Due to the perishable nature of food products, traditional item-for-item exchanges are not always feasible. However, Hangry Joe's offers the following exchange options under qualifying circumstances:

• Replacement Order: In cases involving incorrect or significantly substandard items, we may offer to send a replacement order at no additional charge, subject to availability and operational capacity at the time of the request.
• Store Credit: As an alternative to a monetary refund, we may offer store credit equivalent to the value of the affected items. Store credit can be applied to future orders placed through hangryjoes-meal.top.
• Order Correction: For missing items, we will prioritize dispatching the missing item(s) with your next available order when logistically possible.

Exchange requests must be submitted within the same timeframes applicable to standard refund requests as outlined in Section 3. Hangry Joe's reserves the right to determine the most appropriate form of resolution on a case-by-case basis.

9. Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Our cancellation policy is designed to be as flexible as possible while accounting for the operational realities of food preparation and delivery.

9.1 Pre-Preparation Cancellations

If you need to cancel an order, you must do so within 5 minutes of placing it. During this brief window, your order may not yet have entered the preparation phase, and a full refund can be issued. To cancel, contact us immediately at [email protected] with your order number and cancellation request.

9.2 Post-Preparation Cancellations

Once your order has entered the preparation phase — which typically occurs within minutes of order confirmation — cancellations are no longer accepted, and no refund will be issued for a change of mind. This policy reflects the fact that food ingredients have already been allocated and preparation labor has commenced.

9.3 Cancellations Due to Operational Issues

In rare circumstances, Hangry Joe's may need to cancel your order due to factors such as ingredient unavailability, system errors, staffing issues, or events beyond our control. In such cases, you will be notified promptly, and a full refund will be issued to your original payment method within the timeframes outlined in Section 6.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

If you are unsatisfied with the outcome of your refund request, Hangry Joe's provides a structured dispute resolution process to ensure that all concerns are addressed fairly.

10.1 Internal Escalation

If you believe your refund request was incorrectly denied or that the resolution offered was inadequate, you may escalate your complaint by sending a written escalation request to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Dispute – [Your Order Number]". Please include a detailed explanation of your concerns and any additional supporting evidence. Our management team will review escalated cases within 5–7 business days.

10.2 Chargeback and Payment Disputes

If you choose to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute through your financial institution before exhausting our internal resolution process, we strongly encourage you to contact us first. Many disputes can be resolved quickly and amicably through direct communication. Initiating a chargeback without prior contact may delay the resolution process and could affect your ability to use our services in the future.

10.3 Consumer Protection Resources

As a customer in the United States, you have the right to contact relevant consumer protection authorities if you believe your rights have been violated. These include:

• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov
• Your state's Attorney General consumer protection office
• The Better Business Bureau (BBB) for mediation services

California residents may additionally exercise rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) regarding personal information used in connection with their transactions.
