Petal Box Refund and Return Policy
Effective Date: September 30, 2026
1. Introduction and Scope
This policy explains how Petal Box Flowers and Chocolate LLC ("Petal Box", "we", "us") handles cancellations, returns, replacements and refunds. It applies to every order placed on our website, over WhatsApp, or by phone.
By placing an order, you agree to this policy. Please read it before you pay.
This policy covers:
-
Fresh flowers and bouquets
-
Preserved flowers
-
Plants
-
Cakes
-
Chocolates
-
Perfumes
-
Balloons
-
Soft toys
-
Flower subscriptions
-
Corporate orders
Most of our products are perishable, handmade, or sealed for hygiene. For this reason, our rules differ from a standard retail store. Nothing in this policy limits your rights under UAE consumer protection law.
2. Cancellations and Changes
You can cancel or change an order if you contact us in time. The deadline depends on the delivery type.
| Delivery Type | Cancellation Deadline | Can It Be Cancelled? |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled delivery (future date) | At least 12 hours before the delivery time slot | Yes |
| Same-day delivery | At least 6 hours before the delivery time slot, and before we start preparing the order | Yes |
| 1-hour express delivery | Not applicable | No |
How to Cancel
Send us your order number on WhatsApp or by email. A cancellation is confirmed only when we reply in writing.
Refund on Cancellation
If you cancel within the deadline, we refund the order value to your original payment method. We deduct the payment platform fee and the bank transfer fee charged to us. Your refund confirmation will show the exact amount deducted.
Late Cancellations
We cannot cancel an order once the deadline has passed or preparation has started. Fresh flowers and cakes cannot be reused after they are made.
Changes to an Order
You can change the delivery date, time slot, address or card message within the same deadlines. Product changes depend on stock. If a change raises the price, we will ask you to pay the difference.
3. Returns by Product Type
We do not accept change-of-mind returns on any product. We always fix orders that arrive damaged, faulty or wrong (see Section 4).
| Product | Change-of-Mind Return | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh flowers and bouquets | No | Perishable |
| Plants | No | Living product |
| Preserved flowers | No | Handmade and fragile |
| Cakes and chocolates | No | Food safety |
| Perfumes | No | Hygiene and product safety |
| Balloons | No | Inflated for your order |
| Soft toys | No | Hygiene |
If any of these items arrives damaged, faulty or different from your order, you are covered by our quality process below.

Photo Approval Orders
If you chose WhatsApp photo approval at checkout, we send a photo of your order before dispatch. Once you approve it, we cannot accept claims about the design, colours or style shown in that photo. Claims about damage in transit or freshness are still accepted.
Flower Lifespan
Our fresh flowers usually last 3 to 5 days or more with proper care. Lifespan depends on the flower type, room temperature and care. Please follow the care card included with your order.
5. Resolutions and Refunds
When we confirm a quality issue, we replace the product first. If a replacement is not possible or does not solve the issue, we issue a refund based on the product.
Replacement
We send the same product or a similar one of equal or higher value. We deliver it at the earliest available slot, at no extra cost.
Refund
-
Refunds go to your original payment method.
-
We process approved refunds within 5 to 7 working days.
-
Your bank may take extra days to show the amount.
-
We do not accept cash on delivery.
Tabby Orders
For orders paid with Tabby, refunds follow Tabby's own terms. Tabby adjusts or cancels your remaining instalments.
Store Credit
We do not usually offer store credit. If we offer it and you accept, it is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
Delivery Fee
-
Refundable if the order has not left our premises.
-
Not refundable once our driver has collected the order for delivery.
6. Delivery Issues
Recipient Not Available
If the recipient is not available, we contact the sender and the recipient. We make one free reattempt at a time that suits the recipient. Any further attempt carries a delivery charge.
Refused Deliveries
If the recipient refuses the order, no refund is given.
Delays
We plan every route to deliver within your selected time slot. If something outside our plan happens, such as a vehicle breakdown, we contact the sender and deliver as soon as possible.
7. Cases Not Eligible for Refund or Replacement
-
Wrong or incomplete address or phone number given at checkout

Recipient refuses the order

Buildings, hospitals or compounds that do not allow delivery

8. Substitution Policy
Flowers are seasonal. If a flower, colour or vase is not available, we may use a substitute of equal or higher value. We keep the style and colour tone of your order. For a major change, we contact you first.
9. Flower Subscriptions
You can pause, change or cancel your subscription by contacting us at least 12 hours before your next scheduled delivery. Deliveries already prepared or dispatched cannot be refunded. Each subscription delivery is covered by the quality process in Section 4.
10. Corporate Orders
Corporate orders require a deposit to confirm the booking. The deposit covers flower sourcing and preparation, and it is non-refundable once we place orders with our suppliers.
Specific terms for each corporate order are shared in your quotation.
