At Bakery Line, we take care to prepare our baked goods fresh and deliver them in good condition and in accordance with the confirmed order.
This policy explains when an order may be cancelled and when a product may be replaced or refunded.
Important notice: Bread, baked goods, desserts, and other freshly prepared food products are perishable. For food-safety reasons, they cannot be returned or exchanged simply because the customer changes their mind after preparation or delivery. This does not affect the customer’s right to a suitable solution when an item is defective, damaged, missing, incorrect, or materially different from the confirmed order.
1 Cancellation Before Preparation
A customer may request cancellation before preparation begins by contacting us as soon as possible and providing the order number.
Cancellation is only confirmed after Bakery Line sends the customer a clear confirmation that the order has been cancelled.
If cancellation is accepted before preparation begins, the amount paid will be refunded according to the payment method used.
2 Cancellation After Preparation Begins
An order generally cannot be cancelled after mixing, baking, decorating, packaging, or purchasing special ingredients for the order has started.
This is because our products are freshly prepared and may not be suitable for resale after preparation.
