Damaged or Missing Orders
What to do if your package is damaged, lost, or marked as delivered.
What should I do if my package arrives damaged?
If the package or product arrives damaged, email us at office@gaiaspantry.com with:
- A clear photo of the outer box
- A photo of the damaged product
- A short description of the issue
After review, we will handle a replacement or refund depending on the case.
What if tracking says delivered but I did not receive it?
Sometimes carriers mark a package as delivered slightly early. We recommend waiting one additional business day and checking with household members, neighbours, or nearby delivery points.
If the package is still missing, contact us at office@gaiaspantry.com.
Meat Safety & Storage Responsibility
How to care for products after your order is delivered.
Responsibility after delivery
Our dried meat products are shelf-stable and safe during transit. If a package is damaged during delivery, we will handle it quickly after receiving photos and order details.
Once the order is delivered to your address or pickup point, proper storage is the customer’s responsibility. Gaia’s Pantry is not liable for spoilage caused by delayed pickup or improper storage.
Important Tip
After receiving dry meat products, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and temperature changes. After opening, we recommend keeping them in an airtight container.
