4. Delivery & Address Accuracy Please ensure your shipping address is correct. We cannot redirect or refund orders that are delivered to an incorrect address provided by the customer. Because coffee is sensitive to heat and moisture, we recommend retrieving your package as soon as it is delivered.
Refund & Return Policy
1. Coffee Returns & Order Changes Due to the perishable nature of coffee, we do not accept returns on bagged coffee. To ensure food safety, we cannot accept food items back into our inventory once they have left our facility.

We cannot offer refunds or replacements for orders where incorrect shipping information was provided or where a cancellation was requested after Monday processing has begun.
Made a mistake? You can cancel your order from your account within 15 minutes of placing it. After that, email coffee@giddygoat.com before the Sunday 11:59 PM ET cutoff and we will cancel it for you.
