Return & Refunds Policy

Welcome to Zionseeds. This policy outlines how we handle returns, refunds, replacements, and order-related concerns for purchases made through zionseeds.com, whether you're shopping with us from India or the United States.

By placing an order with Zionseeds, you agree to the terms outlined below.

Our 7-Day Return Window

Zionseeds accepts return requests within 7 days of delivery.

For a return to be accepted, the product must be:

Unused and unopened
Still sealed in its original packaging
In the same condition it arrived in
Pre-approved by our team before you ship it back

Seeds are living, natural products that react to heat, humidity, handling, and storage conditions once they leave our facility. For this reason, we're unable to accept seed packets that have been opened, used, sown, damaged after delivery, or stored improperly — regardless of the country of purchase.

What Makes a Return Valid

Before we can process your return, please make sure that:

You've reached out within 7 days of your delivery date
The product is unused, unopened, and undamaged
Seed packet seals are fully intact
Original packaging is intact
You can provide your order number or proof of purchase
Our team has confirmed the return before it's shipped

Items shipped back to us without prior confirmation from Zionseeds may be refused.

Items We Cannot Accept Back

The following cannot be returned under any circumstances:

Seed packets that have been opened or unsealed
Seeds that have already been used or planted
Items damaged due to customer handling, storage, moisture, heat, or pests after delivery
Returns requested more than 7 days after delivery
Returns shipped without our prior approval
Products marked as final sale or clearance

Starting a Return — India & USA

To begin the process, email us within 7 days of receiving your order at:

support@zionseeds.com

Please share the following so we can review your request quickly:

Order number
Full name
Email address used at checkout
Product name
Reason for the return
Clear photos of the item and its packaging

Our team will review your request and, once approved, send you return instructions specific to your country (India or USA), including where to ship the item back.

Please wait for our written approval before mailing anything back to us.

Who Pays for Return Shipping

Our error (damaged, defective, incorrect, or missing item): Zionseeds covers the cost and will arrange a replacement, refund, or store credit as appropriate.
Your preference (change of mind, wrong item selected, duplicate order, or any reason unrelated to our error): the customer covers return shipping costs.
For customers shipping internationally between India and the USA, any customs duties, import taxes, or courier surcharges incurred on a return shipment are the customer's responsibility unless the return is due to our error.
Original shipping fees are non-refundable, except when the issue was caused by us.

Refund Timelines — 10 Business Days

Once we receive and inspect your approved return, we'll email you to confirm whether your refund has been approved.

Approved refunds are issued back to your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.

Please note:

Indian customers: depending on your bank or UPI provider, funds may take a few additional days to reflect after we initiate the refund.
US customers: depending on your card issuer or bank, posting times may vary slightly beyond our 10-business-day processing window.

Refunds may be declined if the item comes back opened, used, planted, damaged, incomplete, or otherwise outside our return conditions.

Damaged, Defective, Incorrect, or Missing Orders

Please check your order as soon as it arrives.

If something's wrong — damage, a defect, the wrong item, or missing pieces — email us within 7 days of delivery at:

support@zionseeds.com

Include:

Your order number
A short description of the problem
Clear photos of the product and packaging

Depending on the situation, we'll offer a replacement, refund, store credit, or another fix that works for you.

Exchanges

We gladly accept exchanges on eligible products. If you would like to exchange an item for a different product, please contact us within the specified return period. The product must meet our exchange eligibility requirements and be in its original, unused condition.

Once your exchange request is approved, we will provide instructions for returning the original item and receiving the replacement product.

Cancelling an Order

Want to cancel? Reach out as soon as possible at support@zionseeds.com.

Once an order has been packed, processed, or handed off to a courier, we may not be able to stop it — this applies to both domestic (India) and international (USA) shipments.

If cancellation is still possible, we'll confirm by email and refund the original payment method accordingly.

If Your Refund Hasn't Arrived

Approved your refund but it's been more than 10 business days? First, check with your bank, card issuer, or payment provider, as processing times differ by institution and by country.

Still no luck? Email support@zionseeds.com with your order number and we'll look into it.
