Store Policy

SWEETLAND does NOT accept returns of any edible products. To protect our customers’ health and safety, SWEETLAND only accepts returns of non-edible items that have not been worn or used (apparel, accessories, etc.). Refunds for returns exclude shipping costs, and the customer is responsible for shipping the products back to us in their original condition at their expense. A 10% restocking fee will be applied to returns of non-edible products. A 20% restocking fee and the shipping charges to and from our warehouse will be applied to candy received back at our warehouse due to undeliverable addresses or customer refusal of packages.

Since food products cannot be returned, and we do not refund for melting, please take care when placing an order and keep in mind the following (if you have any concerns or specific requirements, please call us before you place your order):

 

  1. Quantity: Think through and calculate how much candy you will need for an event or project.
     

  2. 2. Taste: Manufacturers sometimes change their recipes, and your taste buds change too.
     

  3. Color: Some of our products are hand-made in batches and color may vary. Colors may also look different from one computer monitor to the next.
     

  4. Brand Variance: Different brands of candy like gummies, taffies, caramels, etc. vary in consistency, texture, firmness, etc. So, the same types of candies made by different brands will not always taste the same (e.g., European-brand gummies tend to be harder than American-brand gummies).
     

  5. Heat: If it is warm in your area, stay away from heat-sensitive items as we do not refund for melting! And always make sure someone is around to receive the package.
     

  6. Mistakes: Double check your online order before hitting that submit button! Of course, if we make any mistakes with your order, we will take full responsibility – just make sure that you contact us within 10 business days of receiving your order, as we cannot approve any requests for refunds/reships after such time.

Refusal of Package

If parcels are refused, original and return shipping costs will be charged to the purchaser's original form of payment along with a 20% restocking fee.

Cancellations

Our motto is "Fresh Candy Shipped Fast" and we genuinely mean it!  Our candy elves will often pull, pack, and ship an order within minutes of our customers placing it. As soon as an order is "released"; into our fulfillment system (which can be seconds after you push that submit button), it cannot be cancelled. Of course you are welcome to call us and check whether an order has been released and if it has not, we are happy to process your cancellation. However, if a customer care representative sees the order has been "released"; into our fulfillment system, they will be unable to cancel it. We have spent an extremely large amount of resources to develop and create this extremely quick and efficient automated turn-around system and if we were to cancel an order already released, that one act would interrupt our entire fulfillment cycle (potentially affecting hundreds of other orders). We appreciate your understanding on this matter and we urge you to please take the time to carefully make your selections before hitting that submit button!! If you are unable to cancel your order but still want to return the products, you have the option of returning or refusing the package once it arrives at your destination (see details above regarding returns and refusing packages).

Incorrect Shipping Address

If the customer provides the wrong address when placing an order, the following shall apply:
 

  • If the order is returned to SWEETLAND in good condition: Customer will be responsible for the full cost of shipping as well as a twenty percent (20%) restocking fee.
     

  • If the package is returned to SWEETLAND but the contents are damaged or if the package is lost: No refunds.
     

  • If the package is in route and the customer requests a shipment intercept/address correction: 
    Customer will be charged $17.20 per package/box (this cost is a direct fee from our delivery service provider).
