Food Safety First

Because we sell food, we cannot accept returns of products that have left our control. This is standard practice across the food industry and exists to protect every customer's safety. We do not accept returns of unopened pouches for change-of-mind reasons.

We will replace or refund your order if:

- Your package arrives damaged

- You received the wrong item

- Your order is missing an item

- There is a quality issue with the product

How to Submit a Claim

Contact us at info@1ndb.com within 14 days of delivery with:

We will review your claim and respond within 3 business days. Approved claims are resolved with a replacement or a full refund to your original payment method.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel or change an order, contact us as soon as possible. We can usually accommodate changes before the order ships (within our 2–3 business day processing window).
