Cancellation Policy
You are aware that once you place an order, our farmer members harvest the fruits to process your orders. You are aware that fruits once harvested, cannot be put back on to the trees. Hence, as a policy, orders once placed and paid for will not be canceled. We may, at our sole discretion, consider postponement of your order, provided we get your update soon enough and operationally we are in a position to do so.

Replacement Policy For Bad Mangoes
We are committed to giving you the best fruits and complete returns for your every rupee. We hope you understand that these are naturally grown fruits and no one can fathom nature. You understand that humans like you and us and our behavior are responsible for climate change, and that is messing up monsoon, summer, and winter all across the world. Hence, at times mangoes may go bad from inside or outside.
It will be unfortunate if you receive such mangoes, but you need to understand that we will remain committed to you. Please be assured that we do not pack bad mangoes while we are shipping to you. Hence, we give a replacement for bad mangoes. YES, WE GIVE FREE REPLACEMENT FOR BAD MANGOES. Hence, we offer a replacement in two very specific cases, subject to specific conditions. They are as follows.
We will offer you a replacement in two cases.
​
Damaged Fruits: Though in rare cases, but at times, the courier travel may damage the fruits by the time they reach you. In such a case, the box used to send the fruits to you will be damaged too. If you encounter such a box, we will offer you a replacement for such bad or rotten fruits, provided you inform us via call or email within 6 hours of receiving such consignments and send us pictures of the damaged fruits and box within 12 hours of receiving such consignments. The numbers to call in such cases are 07798414480 or 9021961669, the email id to send an email is support@alphamangoes.com.
​
Bad or Rotten Fruits: Though in rare cases, but at times, fruits that look perfectly good from the outside, maybe bad or rotten from inside. You understand that this is nature and not a man-made product and we cannot, in spite of all efforts, say for sure what is inside the fruit. If you encounter such fruits, we will offer you a replacement for such bad or rotten fruits, provided you inform us via call or email within 6 hours of receiving such consignments and send us pictures of the damaged fruits and box within 12 hours of receiving such consignments. To simplify this further, this means that when you encounter such fruits, which could be two or three days after receiving the parcel from the courier, inform us within the time limit. To make this even clearer, assume that you got the parcel three days ago and the mangoes were not yet ripe, today they ripen, and you cut them, and you find them bad, inform us with pics within the time limit. The shelf life of the mangoes is around four to six days, from delivery to you, after which the taste starts dropping. Developing wrinkles on the fruit is also a sign of the end of an ideal shelf life of the fruits. We have put up this policy to help people get the worth of their money. If the whole consignment turns out bad, we replace it. For a handful of mangoes, we will send you discount codes of the value of the bad mangoes, which you can use on your next order. Mangoes will go bad if kept in the refrigerator and we will not be liable for refunds or replacements if you keep the mangoes in the refrigerator and they go bad.
Refunds Policy
In the event we are not able to provide you a replacement, for reasons including but not limited to season-ending, not enough production, lack of service or courier, etc, we will issue you refunds for the amount you have paid us. Wherever possible, the refund will be given to the same payment source where the payment was made from.
​
Exceptions
​
You are aware that the mangoes that we send to you are sent by third party courier companies and they are the best in their work. You are aware that when we dispatch mangoes to you, they go out of our control. You understand that they should reach you as soon as possible for them to remain their best. We send you a ‘shipped’ update as soon as they are taken over by the courier company and it is your responsibility to ensure that you or someone will be there at the given address to receive the box. This replacement and refunds will not hold good in the case that they have reached your city, but the delivery to you is delayed because you were unavailable, did not answer the call, or requested a later date for delivery. You understand that mangoes are perishables and delaying delivery is likely to hasten their perishability. Hence, we will not be liable to give any replacement or refund in such a case when the status checks with the courier company show that later delivery was requested. As explained above, mangoes have a very short shelf life and should be consumed in that time frame. We are not liable for any requests for refunds and replacements, after the end of shelf life.
