Last Updated: September 2026
Refund & Cancellation Policy Introduction
At Nursery-Plant.com, we carefully prepare plants, seeds, gardening products, pots, microgreen products, mushrooms and agriculture-related products before dispatch.
Because many of our products are living plants and because courier arrangements may be made specifically for an order, cancellation and refund conditions can depend on the stage of the order.
Please read this policy carefully before placing an order.
1. Our Standard Cancellation Policy
Nursery-Plant.com accepts cancellation requests only within the permitted cancellation period.
Cancellation is normally possible when:
- The request is received within 12 hours of placing the order, or
- The order has not yet been booked/processed with the courier.
If the cancellation request is accepted within this eligible period, the customer can generally receive a full refund of the amount paid, subject to payment-processing conditions.
2. Cancellation Within 12 Hours
If you change your mind after placing an order, you should contact us as quickly as possible.
If your cancellation request is received within 12 hours:
AND the order has not been booked with the courier, we will normally accept the cancellation and process a full refund.
Example:
Order amount: ₹1,000
Cancellation requested within 12 hours and before courier booking:
Refund: ₹1,000
3. Cancellation Before Courier Booking
Even if 12 hours have passed, cancellation may still be considered if the order has not yet been booked/processed with the courier.
Once the courier booking or dispatch preparation has started, cancellation conditions may change.
Therefore, customers should contact us as early as possible.
4. Cancellation After Courier Booking
Once a courier booking has been created, the order may already have incurred logistical or processing costs.
If cancellation is requested after courier booking but before pickup, a full refund may not be available.
Applicable shipping, handling or other incurred charges may be deducted from the refundable amount.
5. Cancellation After Courier Pickup
Once the courier has picked up the order, cancellation is generally not accepted.
At this stage:
- The package has entered the delivery network
- Courier charges may already have been incurred
- Forward shipping may have been paid
- Return logistics may be required
- Plants may already be in transit
Therefore, customers should not assume that a cancellation request after pickup will be accepted.
6. No Cancellation After Dispatch
After an order has been dispatched/picked up by the courier, order cancellation is normally not available.
The customer should allow the shipment to proceed through the normal delivery process.
For eligible product problems after delivery, customers should follow the applicable Replacement Policy / Refund Policy.
7. Transit Orders Cannot Normally Be Cancelled
Once an order is in transit, cancellation is not normally possible or accepted.
This is particularly important for plant orders because the package may already be moving through multiple courier facilities.
A request such as:
“My order is already shipped, please cancel it.”
may not be accepted.
8. Buyer-Requested Cancellation During Transit
If a customer insists on cancelling an order that is already in transit and the courier is able to return the package, any refund will be considered only after the shipment is successfully returned and applicable costs are determined.
Where applicable, the refund may be reduced by:
- Forward courier charges
- Return courier charges
- Handling/processing charges, where applicable
- Other non-refundable costs already incurred
Example:
Product/order value: ₹1,000
Forward courier charge: ₹120
Return courier charge: ₹120
Potential refundable amount:
₹1,000 − ₹120 − ₹120 = ₹760
The actual amount will depend on the costs actually incurred and the applicable order conditions.
9. Courier Charges Are Not Always Refundable
When an order has already been processed, booked or dispatched, courier charges may have already been paid or incurred.
Therefore, shipping charges may be deducted from any eligible refund.
This can include:
Forward Shipping
The cost of sending the package from Nursery-Plant.com to the customer’s address.
Return Shipping
The cost of bringing the package back to Nursery-Plant.com.
If both costs are incurred because of a customer-requested cancellation or refusal, both may be deducted where applicable.
10. Customer Refuses Delivery
Customers are requested not to refuse delivery simply because they have changed their mind.
If a customer refuses an order after dispatch, the package may be returned to us.
In such cases, any refund will be considered after the shipment is returned and applicable forward and return courier charges have been deducted.
For example:
Order Value: ₹800
Forward Courier: ₹100
Return Courier: ₹100
Possible refund:
₹600
This is only an example; actual deductions depend on the costs incurred for the particular order.
11. No Refund for Change of Mind After Dispatch
Once an order has been picked up or is in transit, a customer generally cannot request a full refund simply because they:
- Changed their mind
- Ordered by mistake
- No longer need the product
- Found another product
- Are unavailable to receive the package
- Do not want to wait for delivery
Applicable refund/replacement rights for damaged, incorrect or defective products remain subject to the relevant policy.
12. Plant Orders Require Special Care
Plants are living products.
Once dispatched, they are exposed to:
- Temperature changes
- Transportation
- Handling
- Time in packaging
- Light conditions
- Humidity changes
- Transit duration
For this reason, cancellation after dispatch is particularly difficult.
Customers should carefully check the product details before placing an order.
13. Refund for Eligible Cancellation
If your cancellation request qualifies for a refund, we will initiate the refund according to the applicable payment and refund process.
The refund amount depends on:
- Order status
- Cancellation time
- Courier status
- Charges already incurred
- Applicable policy
- Payment status
A refund is not automatically equal to the original amount paid when the order has already incurred shipping or other applicable costs.
14. Full Refund Conditions
A full refund may generally be available when:
- The customer requests cancellation within 12 hours, and
- The order has not been booked/processed with the courier, and
- There are no other applicable deductions or restrictions.
Example:
Order value: ₹1,500
Cancellation within 12 hours and before courier booking:
Eligible refund: ₹1,500
15. Partial Refund Conditions
A partial refund may apply when cancellation occurs after the order has progressed beyond the normal free-cancellation period but before or during certain logistical stages, depending on the circumstances.
Applicable costs may be deducted.
Potential deductions may include:
- Courier charges
- Return courier charges
- Processing charges
- Other costs already incurred
16. Cancellation After Courier Booking
If the courier has already been booked, we may have incurred costs even if the package has not yet been picked up.
Therefore, cancellation after courier booking may result in deductions from the refundable amount.
The exact refund will depend on the actual costs incurred.
17. Cancellation After Pickup
After courier pickup, cancellation is normally not accepted.
If an exceptional return-to-sender arrangement is possible, the customer may be responsible for applicable forward and return courier costs.
Any refund will be considered only according to the applicable circumstances and policy.
18. Cancellation During Transit
Transit orders cannot normally be cancelled.
Once the shipment is moving through the courier network, we generally cannot stop the package immediately.
Customers should wait for delivery unless Nursery-Plant.com specifically confirms another arrangement.
If a return is possible, applicable shipping and return charges may apply.
19. Incorrect Delivery Address
Customers are responsible for entering the correct delivery address during checkout.
If an incorrect address is provided and the courier cannot deliver the package, additional courier or return charges may occur.
Any refund, if applicable, may be reduced by:
- Forward courier charges
- Return courier charges
- Re-delivery charges
- Other applicable costs
20. Incorrect Mobile Number
Customers should provide a valid mobile number.
Courier companies may use the customer’s mobile number for:
- Delivery communication
- Address verification
- Delivery attempts
- OTP-based delivery where applicable
If an incorrect or unreachable number causes delivery problems, the customer may be responsible for resulting shipping or return costs.
21. Customer Unavailable for Delivery
Customers should make reasonable efforts to receive their order.
If repeated delivery attempts fail because the customer is unavailable, refuses delivery or does not respond to the courier, the package may be returned.
Any applicable refund may be processed after deducting eligible forward and return logistics costs.
22. Failed Delivery Due to Customer Information
If delivery fails because of customer-provided information, such as:
- Incorrect address
- Incorrect PIN code
- Incorrect phone number
- Incomplete address
- Customer unavailable
- Customer refusal
the customer may be responsible for applicable shipping and return charges.
23. Refund for Courier-Related Problems
If a shipment is delayed or affected by a courier issue, customers should contact us.
A courier delay does not automatically mean that the order qualifies for cancellation or a full refund.
We will review the situation based on:
- Shipment status
- Courier information
- Product type
- Order status
- Applicable policies
24. Damaged Plant Is Different From Cancellation
A plant arriving damaged is not treated as an ordinary cancellation request.
If a plant arrives with serious transit-related damage, please contact us according to our applicable replacement policy.
Do not simply cancel the order through the normal cancellation process.
Instead, provide:
- Order number
- Product name
- Delivery date
- Clear photographs
- Package photographs
- Description of the issue
25. Wrong Product Received
If you receive a product different from what you ordered, contact us as soon as possible.
Please provide:
- Order number
- Product ordered
- Product received
- Clear photographs
- Packaging information
We will review the issue and provide appropriate assistance according to the applicable policy.
26. Payment Gateway Refund Processing
If an eligible refund is approved, the refund may be processed through the applicable payment method or payment gateway.
Payments made through gateways such as Razorpay or Cashfree may require processing time before the refunded amount appears in the customer’s bank/card/UPI account.
The exact time taken can depend on the payment gateway, bank, card network or other financial institution.
27. Refund for Failed Payment
If a payment fails but the customer’s account has been debited, the transaction may require verification.
Customers should not immediately make another payment.
Please provide:
- Order number
- Payment ID
- Transaction ID
- UTR/reference number
- Amount
- Payment date/time
- Payment screenshot
We will check the payment status.
28. Duplicate Payment
If you accidentally pay twice for the same order, please contact us immediately.
Provide the details of both transactions.
After verification, the additional payment may be handled according to the applicable refund process.
29. Partial Payment Orders
If partial payment has been specifically approved for an order, cancellation conditions may be different from a normal prepaid order.
If cancellation is approved, the refundable amount will depend on:
- Amount already paid
- Order processing status
- Courier booking
- Shipping costs
- Return costs
- Other applicable charges
Any outstanding balance will not be refunded because it was not paid.
30. No Cash Refund
Refunds will generally be processed through the appropriate digital/payment channel rather than through physical cash.
The refund method may depend on the original payment method and payment gateway.
31. How to Request Cancellation
If you want to cancel your order, contact us as soon as possible.
Please provide:
Order Number:
Customer Name:
Registered Mobile Number:
Email Address:
Reason for Cancellation:
Payment ID/Transaction ID:
Example:
Order #12345
I would like to cancel my order.
Payment ID: XXXXXXXX
Please confirm whether the order has been booked with the courier.
The earlier you contact us, the greater the possibility that cancellation can be processed before courier booking.
32. Cancellation Request Does Not Mean Automatic Cancellation
Sending a cancellation request does not automatically cancel an order.
The order must be checked against its current processing and courier status.
Cancellation is confirmed only when Nursery-Plant.com communicates that the cancellation has been accepted.
33. Order Status Determines Refund
The refund amount can depend on which stage the order has reached.
| Order Stage | Cancellation | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Within 12 hours & before courier booking | Generally accepted | Full refund |
| After 12 hours but before courier booking | May be considered | Depends on applicable conditions |
| Courier booked | Generally restricted | Applicable costs may be deducted |
| Courier picked up | Normally not accepted | Subject to exceptional return/refund conditions |
| In transit | Normally not accepted | Forward/return charges may apply if return is possible |
| Delivered | Not a cancellation | Replacement/refund policy may apply where eligible |
34. No Cancellation for Certain Special Orders
Some products or orders may have special preparation, sourcing or packaging requirements.
For such orders, cancellation conditions may differ.
Where special cancellation conditions apply, customers may be informed before or during order processing.
35. Refund Timeline
Once an eligible refund has been approved and initiated, the amount may take additional time to reach the customer’s original payment account.
Processing time can depend on:
- Payment gateway
- Bank
- Card network
- UPI provider
- Payment method
- Weekends and holidays
Nursery-Plant.com cannot always control the final settlement time after a refund has been initiated.
36. Important Customer Responsibility
Before placing an order, customers should carefully verify:
- Product
- Plant variety
- Plant size
- Quantity
- Price
- Shipping address
- PIN code
- Mobile number
- Email address
- Payment amount
- Product requirements
Once the order has entered processing or courier handling, cancellation may become difficult or unavailable.
