Our Return Policy

Hey there, chestnut enthusiasts!

At The Great Chestnut Experiment, your happiness is our top priority. We understand that sometimes things just don't work out, and that's okay. Here's how we handle returns to make things as smooth as possible for you.


30-Day Returns on Non-Food Items

Changed your mind? No problem! You have 30 days from the day you receive your non-food items to request a return.

What Can Be Returned?

  • Chestnut Scoring Tools and Knives: If they're unused and in their original packaging, you can return them within 30 days. Please note, there's a 10% restocking fee, and you'll need to cover the shipping costs to send it back to us.

  • Apparel: Ordered some of our gear but it's not quite the right fit? As long as it's unworn, unwashed, and in its original condition, you're welcome to return it.

What Can't Be Returned?

  • Fresh Chestnuts and Chestnut Gift Boxes: Since these goodies are perishable, we can't accept returns on fresh chestnuts or chestnut gift boxes.

  • Sale Items and Gift Cards: Unfortunately, we can't accept returns on sale items or gift cards.


How to Start a Return

  1. Reach Out to Us: Send us an email at info@chestnutexperiment.com with your order number and let us know what you'd like to return.

  2. We'll Get Back to You: If your return is approved, we'll provide you with all the details on how and where to send your package.

  3. Ship It Back: Pack up your item securely and send it to us. Remember, you'll be responsible for the return shipping costs. We recommend using a trackable shipping service just to be safe.

Refunds

  • Once We Receive Your Return: We'll check it out and let you know if the refund is approved. If everything looks good, we'll process the refund to your original payment method within 10 business days, minus the 10% restocking fee.

  • Waiting on Your Refund?: If it's been more than 15 business days since we approved your return and you haven't received your refund, please get in touch with us.
