| Product Type | Scenario | Refund | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perishable (Cakes, Sweets) | Undeliverable / refused | No Refund | โ |

Perishable Items
Perishable items include cakes, sweets, dry fruits, chocolates, ice creams, and similar time-sensitive products. Due to their nature, these items cannot be re-prepared or redelivered once the original delivery attempt has been made.
No refund is issued for perishable items if the order is undeliverable due to: wrong address, recipient not available, premises locked, incorrect phone number, recipient refusal, or delivery left at a security desk. The order is considered completed in all these cases.
The only exception is if Expressluv shipped the item to a completely incorrect address due to our own error โ in this case a full refund is processed to the original payment method within 15 business days.
To reduce the risk of failed delivery, always provide accurate recipient details including full address, landmark, and an active phone number when placing your order.
Non-Perishable Items
Non-perishable items such as gift sets, toys, and keepsakes can be returned within 3 days of the delivery date. After the return is received and evaluated at our fulfilment centre, a refund is issued as an Expressluv Gift Certificate (store credit).
Returns are not accepted after the 3-day window under any circumstances.
For damaged or defective items:
- Report the issue to support@expressluv.com within 2 hours of delivery.
- Include your order number and clear photographs of the damage.
- Our team will provide a return address and coordinate the replacement or refund process.
- Issues reported after 2 hours of delivery are not eligible for investigation.
Once a return is approved and received, your Gift Certificate will be issued within 3โ5 business days and sent to the email address on your order.
Flowers & Bouquets
Flowers are perishable by nature. As stock is sourced fresh daily and arrangements are prepared to order, refunds on flower orders are not available except in the case of an error on our part.
Please note that product images on our website are for representation purposes. The actual arrangement may vary in color, flower type, and size depending on daily market availability. Expressluv aims for 80โ90% similarity to the displayed image.
Summer Advisory: Flowers delivered during hot summer months may show slight wilting or colour changes due to high temperatures. This is a natural occurrence and is not considered a defect eligible for a refund.
A full refund to the original payment method will only be processed if Expressluv delivered the flowers to a completely wrong address due to our own internal error.
Cancellation Refunds
All cancellation requests must be submitted via email to support@expressluv.com. Verbal, WhatsApp, or phone cancellations are not accepted.
| Cancellation Timing | Refund Amount | Method |
|---|---|---|
| More than 24 hours before scheduled delivery | 100% | Store Credit |
| Within 24 hours of scheduled delivery | 20% โ 70% (varies by item stage) | Partial Store Credit |
| After item is prepared or dispatched | 0% | No Refund |
| Perishable item that failed delivery | 0% | No Refund |
All cancellation refunds are issued as Expressluv store credit only. We do not process refunds to original payment methods for customer-initiated cancellations. Store credit never expires and can be used on any future order.
When the Error is Ours
If a refund is warranted due to a verified error caused solely by Expressluv โ such as delivery to a completely wrong address โ we will process a full refund to your original payment method.
Full refunds due to our error are processed within 15 business days and will appear on your original bank or payment statement.
This applies in the following scenarios:
- Order delivered to a different address than what was provided by the customer.
- Completely wrong product delivered (entirely different item from what was ordered).
- Order never dispatched despite confirmed payment and delivery date.
All such claims are subject to investigation by our operations team before a refund is approved.
