Return & Refund Policy

At Yume Cha, we take pride in the quality of our matcha. If something goes wrong with your order, we will do our best to make it right. Please read this policy carefully before placing your order.

We accept return or refund requests under the following circumstances:

• Damaged or defective product — the item arrived visibly damaged, broken, or tampered with
• Wrong item received — you received a different product than what you ordered
• Missing item — part of your order was not included in the delivery
• Order not delivered — confirmed non-delivery with courier tracking evidence

We are unable to process returns or refunds for the following:

• Change of mind after the order has been dispatched
• Products that have been opened, used, or consumed
• Orders with an incorrect delivery address provided by the customer
• Delays caused by the courier service
• Products purchased during a sale or promotional period (unless defective)

To request a refund or return, please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order:

• Email us at yumecha19@gmail.com with the subject line "Refund Request – [Your Order Invoice Number]"
• Include clear photos of the damaged or incorrect item
• Include your full name, order invoice number, and description of the issue

Requests submitted after 7 days from delivery may not be accepted.

Once we receive and review your refund request, we will notify you of our decision within 2–3 business days.

If approved:

• Card payments — refunds are processed through PayMongo and may take 5–10 business days to reflect on your statement, depending on your bank
• GCash payments — refunds are sent to your GCash number within 2–3 business days
• Bank transfer payments — refunds are sent to the bank account you provide within 3–5 business days

Shipping fees are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.

If a physical return is required, we will provide instructions on how to ship the item back. Return shipping costs will be covered by Yume Cha if the return is due to our error (wrong item, damaged product).

Please do not ship items back without prior confirmation from us, as we cannot guarantee acceptance of unsolicited returns.

Orders may be cancelled before they are dispatched. To cancel, contact us as soon as possible at yumecha19@gmail.com with your order invoice number.

Once an order has been handed to the courier, it can no longer be cancelled. You may request a refund upon delivery if the item meets the eligibility criteria above.
