Store Name: Dried Poppy Pods Direct

At Dried Poppy Pods Direct, we take great pride in supplying hand-harvested, 100% natural, air-cured Papaver somniferum pods and complementary botanicals. We want you to be completely satisfied with your bulk order. Because dried botanicals are natural products with unique physical characteristics, please read our Refund and Returns Policy carefully prior to making a purchase.

1. 30-Day Return Window

We offer a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return or report an issue with your order.

To be eligible for a standard return:

  • Items must be in the same condition that you received them—unaltered, unused, and in their original bulk packaging.
  • You must provide the order number and proof of purchase (receipt or invoice).
  • Bundles, stem bunches, or bulk 1kg boxes that have been modified, glued, cut, or partially used in floral/craft installations are ineligible for return.

2. Natural Variation Notice (Please Read Before Ordering)

All items sold on our website are 100% natural dried agricultural products. As such:

  • Color & Shape Variations: Minor variations in natural color (sand, warm tan, taupe, light brown) and individual pod shape are natural characteristics of air-cured botanicals and do not constitute a product defect.
  • Sold by Weight: All 1kg bulk boxes are packed and sold strictly by net weight. Pod counts provided on product pages are approximate estimates based on average pod density and size ranges.
  • Grade B Items: Grade B products are explicitly sold at a discount as value-grade botanicals featuring natural character marks and mixed sizes. Returns based on natural surface variations for Grade B items will follow standard return shipping rules.

3. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

We pack all bulk orders in reinforced, protective boxes with internal cushioning to protect delicate crown tops and stems during transit. However, if your package arrives damaged by the carrier:

  1. Inspect Your Order Immediately: Upon arrival, check your parcel for external transit damage or crushed contents.
  2. Contact Us Within 48 Hours: Email our support team at support@yourdomain.com within 48 hours of delivery.
  3. Provide Photographic Proof: Include clear photos of:
    • The damaged shipping box (showing the shipping label).
    • The damaged contents inside the box.
    • Your order number.

Resolution: Once verified, we will issue a free replacement shipment or a full/partial refund for the damaged portion of your order at no additional cost to you.

4. How to Initiate a Return

  1. Contact our support team at support@poppypodsforsale.com with your order number and the reason for the return request.
  2. If your return is accepted, we will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number along with detailed instructions on where and how to send your package.
  3. Items sent back to us without first requesting an RMA will not be accepted.

Return Shipping Costs:

  • Customer Responsibility: For standard returns (e.g., buyer’s remorse, changing your mind, or ordering the wrong size), the customer is responsible for paying return shipping costs. Shipping costs are non-refundable.
  • Store Responsibility: If the return is due to our error (e.g., wrong item sent or verified transit damage), we will provide a prepaid return shipping label.

We strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance for return packages over $75, as we cannot guarantee receipt of returned items.

5. Refunds & Processing Time

  • Inspection: Once your returned item is received at our distribution center, our quality control team will inspect it within 2–3 business days.
  • Approval Notification: We will notify you via email regarding the approval or rejection of your refund based on the item’s condition.
  • Payout: If approved, your refund will automatically be processed back to your original payment method (Credit Card, PayPal, Apple Pay) within 5 to 10 business days.

Note: Depending on your financial institution or credit card issuer, it may take additional time for the refunded balance to post to your official statement.

6. Non-Returnable & Final Sale Items

The following items cannot be returned:

  • Custom or Pallet Orders: Wholesale bulk orders exceeding 20kg that were custom-sorted or specially quoted.
  • Clearance / Final Sale Items: Any product marked explicitly as “Final Sale” or “Clearance” at the time of purchase.
  • Gift Cards.

7. Order Cancellations & Address Edits

Orders are dispatched rapidly (typically within 24–48 hours). If you need to cancel or edit an order, please email support@yourdomain.com immediately. Once a tracking number has been generated and handed over to the courier, the order cannot be canceled, and standard return procedures must be followed upon arrival.
