Wrong item(s)

  • Items which you never ordered but wound up receiving; or
  • Incorrect product variants or brands that were delivered

Random weight item(s)

  • Some food like fruit, veg, seafood and meat will be priced on the basis of weight. In those cases, FoodByUs charge the Buyer up front for the ordered weight and then we need to know from you what the actual weight provided was so we can adjust accordingly.
  • The approximate weight of food products that naturally vary in size and weight. These unique attributes result in the unique pricing of natural/ fresh products such as fruits, veg, meats, and cheese, to name a few.
