our Return Policy
ME Kombucha – Business Return Policy
We operate a quality-first, waste-minimization return model designed for cafés, retailers, and hospitality partners.
1. Short Shelf-Life & Quality Guarantee
- All products are supplied under strict cold-chain and quality control.
- Any expired or near-expiry stock is eligible for replacement or credit note, subject to verification. These terms do not apply to ME Kombucha-Ginger flavor.
- Customers must store products under recommended refrigeration (4°C or below) of all expired and near expiry until the pick up time. (terms and conditions apply)
2. Damaged or Defective Goods
- Claims must be raised within 24–48 hours of delivery, supported by photo evidence.
3. Unsold Stock Policy (Selective Partners)
- For approved strategic partners, we may offer limited stock rotation support or credit adjustments, depending on agreement terms and sales velocity.
4. Glass Bottle Return & Recycling Program
- We actively encourage return of empty glass bottles and caps through our sustainability initiative.
- Returned bottles are credited (e.g. AED 1 per bottle & cap) and deducted from future invoices.
- Bottles must be cleaned and returned during scheduled pickups or deliveries.
5. No Arbitrary Returns
- Due to the nature of fermented food products, opened goods are non-returnable unless proven defective.
- Returns outside quality or damage claims are not accepted to ensure food safety compliance.
6. Sustainability Commitment
- Our return system is designed to reduce waste, lower environmental impact, and promote circular use of glass packaging.
