Overview
We have a 30-day return/refund policy for eligible items, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return or refund.
To be eligible, your item must be in the same condition that you received it—undamaged, unopened, and unused—with tags (if applicable) and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
Coffee orders are final and not returnable or refundable except if you receive your order in a damaged, defective, torn, or otherwise unusable condition. If this occurs, follow the directions in Damages & Issues and include photos of how the order arrived.
Gift card sales are final and not refundable.
Key Deadlines at a Glance
- Report damage/incorrect item: within 7 days of delivery (with photos).
- Request a return/refund: within 30 days of delivery for eligible items.
- Ship approved returns: within 14 days of approval.

Claims for Missing Orders
If you did not receive your order, you must submit a claim within 30 days of the purchase date. Please provide:
- Proof of purchase (order number and/or tracking number), and
- Your contact information (email or phone used at checkout).
Claims may require a signed affidavit of non-receipt. If carrier tracking shows “Delivered,” additional supporting evidence may be required to approve a claim.

- Items sent back without prior approval will not be accepted.

Damages & Issues
Please inspect your order upon delivery and contact us within 7 days at info@generalwarfieldscoffee.com if an item is defective, damaged, or if you received the wrong item, so we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

- The outer shipping box showing any damage,

Requests submitted after 7 days may not be eligible for replacement or refund.

Contact us with any questions about your specific item.
Exchanges
If you received the wrong item, please contact info@generalwarfieldscoffee.com. We’ll email return directions; once the return is verified and accepted, we’ll ship the correct item at no cost.
Refunds
We’ll notify you once we receive and inspect your return and let you know if the refund is approved. If approved, refunds are issued to the original payment method. Please allow several business days for your bank or card issuer to post the refund. We process approved refunds within 5 business days.
Chargebacks & “Friendly Fraud”
General Warfield’s Coffee® takes product quality, fulfillment accuracy, and customer satisfaction seriously.
If a customer disputes a legitimate charge or initiates a chargeback without first contacting us to resolve the issue, we reserve the right to:
- Recover the cost of goods, shipping, administrative, and chargeback fees through collection or small-claims proceedings; and
- Restrict or permanently block future purchases from our store.
Submitting a chargeback without providing evidence of a product issue or without following our return procedures may constitute fraud. All transactions are subject to verification, and misuse of chargeback rights will be documented and reported to relevant payment networks.
