If replacement is not preferred or is not possible, a refund may be provided after verification.

If any component of your Grow Kit, such as cocopeat, soil mix, seeds, pots, accessories, or other included items, is missing, you may request a replacement for the missing item.
Image or video verification may be required.
If the missing item cannot be replaced or the customer prefers a refund, the eligible amount may be refunded after verification.

If a seeding pot, grow bag, planter, or any included container is broken or visibly damaged upon arrival, Plantoo may provide a replacement for the affected item.
The customer must provide clear photos or videos for verification.
If the customer does not wish to receive a replacement, a refund for the affected item may be processed after confirmation.
5. Empty Box or Major Missing Items
If you receive an empty package or several major items are missing, an unboxing video showing the sealed package being opened continuously may be required for verification.
Based on the verification, Plantoo may provide a replacement or refund as applicable.
6. Return to Origin (RTO)
If an order is marked as Return to Origin (RTO) due to an error or mistake by the courier partner, Plantoo will make reasonable efforts to arrange delivery of the correct order within an additional 5–7 days.
The customer may also receive a 15% discount as applicable under the RTO resolution.
If the order cannot be successfully delivered again, the customer may be eligible for a refund after verification.
7. False Delivery / Order Marked as Delivered but Not Received
If the courier tracking shows an order as Delivered, but the customer has not actually received it, the customer should contact Plantoo support immediately.
Plantoo will verify the delivery status with the courier partner. If it is confirmed that the package was not received by the customer, Plantoo may provide a replacement or refund, depending on the circumstances.
Refund Policy
A refund may be initiated in the following situations:
1. Product Not Received
If the customer has not received the order and the courier investigation confirms that the package was lost, incorrectly delivered, or otherwise not received, the customer may be eligible for a refund.
2. Damaged Product – Customer Does Not Want Replacement
If a product arrives damaged and the customer does not want a replacement, Plantoo may process a refund after receiving and verifying clear real photos or videos of the damaged product.
The refund will generally be limited to the value of the affected product/item, unless otherwise approved by Plantoo.
3. Accidental Order
If a customer accidentally places an order, they may request cancellation before the order is shipped.
Once the cancellation is approved, the eligible amount will be refunded.
Orders that have already been shipped may not be eligible for cancellation or refund under this condition.
4. Duplicate Order
If the customer accidentally places two identical orders, the duplicate order may be cancelled and refunded provided that it has not already been shipped.
5. Product Not Available
If Plantoo is unable to fulfil an order because the ordered product is unavailable, discontinued, or cannot be supplied, Plantoo may cancel the affected order and issue a refund for the amount paid.
6. Incorrect Product Delivered
If the wrong product or Grow Kit is delivered, Plantoo will generally offer a replacement.
If the customer does not want a replacement, a refund may be processed after verification and confirmation.
7. Missing Product or Components
If a product or component is missing from the delivered order, Plantoo may either replace the missing item or refund its applicable value after verification.
8. Unsuccessful Delivery / RTO
If an order cannot be delivered and is returned to Plantoo, a refund may be issued after the order is received or the courier status is verified, subject to the circumstances of the shipment.
9. Other Verified Order Issues
If an order has a significant issue that cannot reasonably be resolved through replacement, Plantoo may provide a refund after reviewing the case and completing the necessary verification.
Refund Process
Once a refund is approved:
- The refund will generally be initiated within 5–7 business days after confirmation and approval.
- For prepaid orders, the refund will normally be processed to the original payment method used for the order.
- For Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, Plantoo may request the customer's bank account, UPI, or other valid payment details required to process the refund.
- The actual time taken for the amount to appear in the customer's account may depend on the payment gateway, bank, or financial institution.
- Plantoo may contact the customer for additional information, photos, videos, or other verification before approving a refund.
Refund Amount
The refund amount will depend on the nature of the issue and the items affected.
For example:
- Missing item → Refund may be limited to the value of the missing item.
- Damaged individual item → Refund may be limited to the value of the damaged item.
- Entire order not received → Eligible amount for the undelivered order may be refunded.
- Cancelled prepaid order before shipment → Eligible amount paid may be refunded.
- Wrong product → Replacement will generally be preferred; refund may be provided if replacement is not required or possible.
Any applicable shipping, handling, promotional, or other charges may be treated according to the specific circumstances of the order.
Verification Requirements
To protect customers as well as Plantoo from fraudulent claims, we may request:
- Clear photographs of the received product.
- Photos showing the product and original Plantoo packaging.
- Video of the damaged product.
- Unboxing video for empty packages or major missing items.
- Order number and invoice details.
- Courier/shipping information.
- Any other information reasonably required to verify the issue.
Photos and videos must be genuine and should clearly show the actual product received by the customer.
Plantoo reserves the right to reject a replacement or refund request if the provided information is insufficient, manipulated, misleading, or does not support the reported issue.
Important Reporting Timeline
All delivery-related issues, including damaged products, missing items, incorrect products, quantity discrepancies, empty packages, or products not received, must be reported to the Plantoo support team within 7 days of the marked delivery date.
For orders marked as delivered but not actually received, customers are advised to contact Plantoo as soon as possible so that the matter can be investigated with the courier partner.
Claims reported after the applicable reporting period may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
Important Note
Plantoo's cancellation, replacement, and refund decisions are subject to verification of the reported issue.
Where possible, Plantoo will first attempt to resolve an issue through replacement or reshipment. However, if the customer does not want a replacement and the issue qualifies for a refund, Plantoo may initiate the refund after successful verification.
Plantoo reserves the right to investigate and determine the appropriate resolution for cases that do not fall directly under the situations mentioned above.
