Returns & Refunds

01.00

Introduction

Last updated: 1 May 2026

This Returns & Refunds Policy explains how returns, refunds, replacements, and cancellations work for purchases made through Manta Chocolate, operated by Chocolate House LTD.

01.01

Food Product Returns

Because we sell food products, we cannot accept returns of opened products unless they are faulty, damaged, or incorrect.

For hygiene and food safety reasons, returned products must be:

  • unopened;
  • unused;
  • sealed in their original packaging;
  • in resaleable condition;
  • returned within the applicable return period.
01.02

Change of Mind Returns

If you change your mind, please contact us at info@mantachocolate.com within 14 days of receiving your order.

If your return is accepted, the product must be sent back to us within 14 days of notifying us.

You are responsible for the cost of returning the items unless the product is faulty or we made an error with your order.

We recommend using a tracked postal service, as we cannot refund items that are lost on their way back to us.

01.03

Products We Cannot Accept Back

We cannot accept returns for:

  • opened food products;
  • products without their original sealed packaging;
  • products that have been consumed, partly consumed, or damaged after delivery;
  • products that have been stored incorrectly;
  • personalised or custom-made items;
  • gift cards, if applicable;
  • sale or clearance items, unless faulty.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

01.04

Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Items

If your order arrives faulty, damaged, melted, or incorrect, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

Please include:

  • your order number;
  • a description of the issue;
  • clear photographs of the product;
  • clear photographs of the outer packaging;
  • clear photographs of the delivery label.

Once we have reviewed the issue, we may offer a replacement, refund, store credit, or another appropriate solution.

01.05

Chocolate Bloom and Natural Changes

Our products are made with natural ingredients and may change slightly in appearance or texture over time.

Chocolate bloom, small colour variations, natural separation in spreads, or minor surface marks can occur due to temperature changes or storage conditions. These do not always mean the product is unsafe or faulty.

If you are concerned about your product, please contact us before consuming it.

01.06

Refunds

If your refund is approved, it will be processed back to your original payment method.

Please allow 5 working days for the refund to appear in your account, depending on your payment provider.

Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the item is faulty, damaged, or incorrect.

01.07

Exchanges and Replacements

Where appropriate, we may offer a replacement product instead of a refund.

Replacement items are subject to availability. If the original product is unavailable, we may offer an alternative product of equal value, store credit, or a refund.

01.08

Order Cancellations

If you would like to cancel an order, please contact us as soon as possible at info@mantachocolate.com.

If your order has not yet been dispatched, we will do our best to cancel it and issue a refund.

If your order has already been dispatched, you may need to follow the returns process above.

01.09

How to Start a Return

To request a return, please email: info@mantachocolate.com

Please include:

  • your full name;
  • your order number;
  • the item you would like to return;

Please do not send products back to us without contacting us first.
