Return Policy for Room-Temperature Items

Returns are accepted only for eligible shelf-stable products that were shipped incorrectly or arrived damaged. Return requests must be submitted within 48 hours of delivery. Items must be unused, remain in their original packaging, and be accompanied by proof of purchase. Refunds are not available for change-of-mind purchases.


To start a return, email help@unexpectedmeal.com. Return shipping is your responsibility and a 20% restocking fee applies.

- Non-Returnable Items

We do not accept returns on:

Perishable goods (e.g. food)
Sale items or gift cards

Because our store sells frozen and perishable food products, all food sales are final and cannot be returned once shipped.

- Damaged, Wrong, or Missing Items

Please inspect your order and take photos as soon as it arrives.

For frozen items, please photograph your order immediately upon receipt. Claims for frozen items must be submitted within 24 hours of the delivery time shown on the carrier's (FedEx/UPS) tracking.

For room-temperature (shelf-stable) items, claims must be submitted within 48 hours of the applicable delivery or pickup completion time (as defined in our Shipping Policy).

In all cases, please include your order number and photos of the issue when you contact us at help@unexpectedmeal.com.

For shipped orders, resolving a claim may require keeping the affected item(s) frozen and returning them via a carrier-arranged return โ€” we'll provide instructions if this applies to your case.

Claims submitted after the applicable window above, or without supporting photos, may not be eligible for resolution. Issues resulting from an incorrect or mistyped shipping address provided by the customer are also not eligible for compensation.

Depending on the situation, we may offer a refund, replacement, or store credit as an appropriate resolution.

If an item is part of an active claim, please do not discard it until we've confirmed next steps. Items disposed of without prior confirmation may not be eligible for compensation.

- Perishable Product Notice

Our store sells frozen and temperature-sensitive products. While we use insulated packaging and cold-chain shipping methods, some products may partially thaw during transit.

In rare cases, tightly frozen products may lose their vacuum seal if items shift or collide with each other during transit or storage. This is a normal occurrence for frozen goods and is not, on its own, eligible for a refund.

By placing an order, customers acknowledge and accept the nature of shipping perishable products.

Frozen orders under $199 are more likely to experience partial thawing due to reduced cold-chain retention, and thawing related to an order under this amount is not eligible for a refund.
