Last Updated: 8 October 2026
Thank you for shopping at LevelGroundCo.com. We aim to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase. This Return and Refund Policy outlines your rights under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and our process for returns and refunds for purchases made through our Shopify store.
1. Your Right to Cancel
Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your items without giving a reason. This cooling-off period applies to all non-perishable items purchased online. To exercise this right:
- Notify us within 14 days from the day you receive your order.
- Return the items within 14 days of notifying us, in accordance with Section 2 below.
2. Eligibility for Returns
To be eligible for a return, your item must meet the following conditions:
- Unopened and Unused: Coffee products must be unopened, in their original packaging, and in the same condition as when received.
- Timeframe: You must notify us of your intent to return within 14 days of delivery, and the items must be returned within 14 days of your notification.
- Proof of Purchase: A receipt or proof of purchase (e.g., order confirmation email or Shopify order number) is required.
- Non-Perishable Items: Only non-perishable items (e.g., unopened coffee bags) are eligible for return. Perishable items, such as brewed coffee or opened packages, are not eligible due to health and safety regulations.
3. Refund Process

- Return Postage: You are responsible for return postage costs unless the item was received damaged, defective, or incorrect, in which case we will provide a prepaid return postage label. For cancellations under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, you bear the cost of returning the goods unless otherwise agreed.
- Inspection: Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will notify you via email about the approval or rejection of your refund.
- Refund Issuance: If approved, your refund will be processed within 7-10 working days to the original payment method used via Shopify Payments or your chosen payment gateway. Original postage costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.
