Shipping policy

Being the only Direct Farm to Bar Organic Zero Sugar Added Chocolate manufacturers, we take pride in our quality and manufacturing process. As our products are manufactured mostly on demand, once an order is placed, there can be no changes or amendments to the order, the orders cannot be cancelled either. In case incorrect contact details are specified while placing the order, we will try our best to make the changes by informing the logistics partner. The amount will not be refunded if these changes are beyond our control and it is totally upto the company's discretion to refund the customer.
