Thank you for shopping with 17Blends.
We want every order to reach you safely and in excellent condition. Because our products include food and beverage items, we follow specific rules regarding returns, replacements, refunds, and damaged or incorrect orders.
By placing an order through our website, you agree to the terms of this Refund & Returns Policy.
1. FOOD & BEVERAGE PRODUCTS
17Blends products, including but not limited to matcha, ube, tea, powders, premixes, syrups, blends and other consumable products, are food products.
For food safety and hygiene reasons:
We generally do not accept returns of opened, used, or partially consumed food/beverage products.
Once a food product has been opened after delivery, we cannot guarantee how it has been stored or handled.
However, if your order arrives damaged, defective, contaminated, incorrect, or otherwise not in acceptable condition, please contact us and we will review the issue and, where appropriate, offer a replacement or refund.
2. WHEN CAN I REQUEST A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND?
You may contact us if:
A. You received a damaged product
If your product or its packaging was damaged during transportation, please contact us as soon as possible after delivery.
B. You received the wrong product
If you received a product that you did not order, please contact us and provide photographs of the product received.
C. Your order is missing an item
If an item from your order is missing, please notify us so that we can investigate and resolve the issue.
D. The product appears defective
If you believe that a product has a manufacturing or quality issue, contact us with details and supporting photographs/videos.
E. The product has been compromised during delivery
If the package appears tampered with, leaking, broken, or otherwise compromised when delivered, please document the condition and contact us immediately.
3. UNBOXING VIDEO
For damaged, incorrect, missing, or compromised orders, we strongly recommend recording an unboxing video from the moment the package is opened.
The video should clearly show:
- The unopened shipping package
- Shipping label
- Condition of the package
- Product packaging
- Product received
- Damage or issue
An unboxing video may help us verify the issue and process your request faster.
However, the absence of an unboxing video does not automatically mean that your request will be rejected. Each case may be reviewed individually.
4. HOW TO REPORT A PROBLEM
If you receive a damaged, defective, incorrect, or incomplete order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.
Please send:
- Order number
- Name used for the order
- Description of the issue
- Clear photographs of the product
- Photographs of the outer packaging
- Unboxing video, if available

RETURN/REFUND REQUEST – [ORDER NUMBER]
5. REPLACEMENTS
If your claim is approved, we may offer:
- A replacement product
- Replacement of the affected item
- A refund for the affected item
- Another appropriate resolution
The resolution will depend on the nature of the issue, product availability, and applicable law.
If a replacement is approved, we will provide instructions regarding the replacement process.
6. REFUNDS
If a refund is approved, the refund will generally be processed through the original payment method used for the purchase, wherever possible.
Depending on your payment provider or bank, it may take additional time for the refunded amount to appear in your account.
We are not responsible for delays caused by banks, payment gateways, or other financial institutions.
7. SHIPPING CHARGES
If the issue is determined to have resulted from an error on our part, such as:
- Sending the wrong product
- Sending a damaged product
- Sending a defective product
- Missing an item from your order
17Blends may cover reasonable replacement shipping costs, where applicable.
For customer-initiated returns or cancellations that are permitted under this policy, shipping charges may not be refundable.
8. PRODUCTS DAMAGED AFTER DELIVERY
17Blends is not responsible for damage caused after successful delivery due to improper storage, handling, exposure to heat, moisture, sunlight, contamination, or other conditions outside our control.
For products such as matcha and other powdered beverages, customers should follow the storage instructions provided on the product packaging.
9. CHANGE OF MIND
Because our products are consumable food and beverage products, we generally do not accept returns simply because a customer has changed their mind, ordered the wrong flavour, does not like the taste, or no longer wants the product, once the order has been processed or delivered.
If you accidentally ordered the wrong product, please contact us as soon as possible. If the order has not yet been dispatched, we may be able to modify or cancel it at our discretion.
10. ORDER CANCELLATION
You may request cancellation of your order by contacting us as soon as possible after placing the order.
Cancellation requests are not guaranteed once an order has entered processing, packing, or shipping.
Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation may no longer be possible.
If a cancellation is successfully approved, any applicable refund will be processed according to this policy.
11. DELIVERY FAILURE
If a delivery attempt is unsuccessful because of circumstances such as:
- Incorrect address provided by the customer
- Incorrect or incomplete contact information
- Customer unavailable to receive the package
- Refusal to accept the package
- Failure to respond to the courier
- Repeated delivery attempts being unsuccessful
additional shipping charges or other applicable costs may apply before a package can be resent.
Where permitted, orders returned to us because of customer-provided incorrect information may be refunded after deducting applicable shipping or handling costs.
12. SALE & PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS
Products purchased during special promotions, clearance sales, bundle offers, or promotional campaigns may be subject to additional terms.
Any special return, replacement, cancellation, or refund conditions applicable to a promotion will be communicated at the time of purchase.
Unless otherwise stated, defective, damaged, incorrect, or missing products will continue to be handled according to this policy and applicable law.
13. FREE GIFTS & BUNDLES
If your order includes a free gift, promotional item, bundle discount, or other promotional benefit, the refund value may be adjusted where necessary if the order is partially cancelled or refunded.
14. REFUNDS FOR QUALITY CONCERNS
If you believe there is a genuine quality issue with a consumable product, please do not continue consuming the product.
Contact us immediately with:
- Order number
- Product name
- Batch/lot number
- Best-before/expiry information
- Photographs
- Description of the concern
We may request additional information or arrange an appropriate investigation before determining the resolution.
15. EXCHANGES
We generally do not offer direct exchanges of opened or consumed food/beverage products.
If you receive an incorrect or defective product, we may provide a replacement instead.
16. NON-RETURNABLE PRODUCTS
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the following are generally not eligible for return:
- Opened food products
- Used or partially consumed products
- Products damaged after delivery due to improper storage or handling
- Products without their original packaging where verification is necessary
- Products returned without prior approval
- Products purchased solely due to change of mind or taste preference
17. OUR RIGHT TO REVIEW CLAIMS
All refund and replacement requests are subject to verification.
17Blends reserves the right to request reasonable evidence, including photographs, videos, order details, batch information, or other relevant information before approving a claim.
We may decline a request where the available evidence indicates that the product was damaged, improperly stored, used, consumed, or otherwise compromised after delivery.
Nothing in this policy limits any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

Overview
Our refund and returns policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have passed since your purchase, we can’t offer you a full refund or exchange.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.
Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.
Additional non-returnable items:
- Gift cards
- Downloadable software products
- Some health and personal care items
To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.
Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer.
There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted:
- Book with obvious signs of use
- CD, DVD, VHS tape, software, video game, cassette tape, or vinyl record that has been opened.
- Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
- Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery
Refunds
Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.
If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.
Late or missing refunds
If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.
Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.
Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.
If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at {email address}.
Sale items
Only regular priced items may be refunded. Sale items cannot be refunded.
Exchanges
We only replace items if they are defective or damaged. If you need to exchange it for the same item, send us an email at {email address} and send your item to: {physical address}.
Gifts
If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you’ll receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a gift certificate will be mailed to you.
If the item wasn’t marked as a gift when purchased, or the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund to the gift giver and they will find out about your return.
Shipping returns
To return your product, you should mail your product to: {physical address}.
You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary.
If you are returning more expensive items, you may consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
