6. Refunds & Cancellations

You may request a refund or cancellation within 7 days of your order date, subject to the conditions below.

  • Food products: Due to the perishable nature of food, we do not accept returns of food items. Refunds will be issued where a product is faulty, damaged on arrival, significantly different from its description, or not delivered. Food items must not be returned to the store.
  • Non-food items: Non-perishable, non-food items may be returned within 14 days of receipt, provided they are unused and in their original packaging. Return postage is at the customer's cost unless the item is faulty.
  • Cancellations: Orders may be cancelled at no charge before they are confirmed for dispatch. Once an order has been dispatched or is being prepared for collection, cancellation may not be possible and a refund will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Refunds are processed to your original payment method via Stripe and will typically appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.

To request a refund or cancellation, please contact us at info@alfu.co.uk.

7. Substitution Policy

We endeavour to fulfil every order exactly as placed. However, due to the nature of fresh and perishable products, certain items may occasionally be unavailable at the time your order is fulfilled.

In such circumstances, we may substitute an unavailable product with a suitable alternative of equal or greater value at no extra charge. Where a substitution is made:

  • We will inform you of the substitution on your order confirmation or picking slip.
  • The replacement product will be of a comparable type, quality, and value.
  • If you are not satisfied with a substituted item, please contact us within 48 hours of receipt and we will arrange a refund for that item.

You may request that we do not substitute items by noting this in the order comments at checkout. We will make every effort to honour such requests.

8. Product Availability & Pricing

All products are subject to availability. Prices displayed on the website are correct at the time of display but may be updated without prior notice. The price charged will be the price shown at the time you complete your order.

We reserve the right to withdraw any product from sale at any time. If a product becomes unavailable after you have placed your order, we will contact you and, where a substitute is not possible or not accepted, refund the relevant items.

Product images are for illustrative purposes only. Actual products may vary in appearance.

9. Allergen Disclaimer

Alfu Limited takes allergen information seriously; however, many of our products are produced or packed in facilities that also handle common allergens including nuts, gluten, milk, eggs, and others.

We cannot guarantee that any product sold by Alfu International is free from any allergen. Product formulations and manufacturing processes can change. Customers with food allergies or intolerances must check the ingredient and allergen information on the product label before consuming.

If you have a severe allergy or anaphylaxis risk, please contact us at info@alfu.co.uk before placing your order. See our Allergen Information page for the full list of major allergens.
