Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or is not what you ordered, email support@mealinstructions.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the item and packaging. We will send a replacement at no cost or issue a full refund, at your choice.

Standard Returns

Unworn, unwashed apparel and unopened print goods can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the item price (original shipping is non-refundable).
