Return and Refunds Policy

Published April 2, 2022

1. Introduction

A satisfaction guarantee is a promise a brand makes to assure a buyer it will refund them if a product or service does not satisfy them within a specific timeframe.

While there are many brands that stand by their word, there are some that will say and do just about anything to avoid making a refund. It comes as no surprise that consumers distrust and quickly sidestep generic and untested satisfaction guarantees. Believe us, we understand, and we assure you that our guarantee is not just another must-have legal page on our website.

FortiFood Health Services is a trusted brand for over 25 years because our promise becomes action. We recognise that it’s our customer’s trust and confidence that got us to where we are today. We put our customers first and treat them well at every step of our interaction.

And when we drop the ball, we will be transparent and own our mistakes. Any employee, even a high-performing, hardworking staff member, can make a mistake. If we send the wrong product, ship the wrong quantity, or we damage a container in transit, it’s the actions we take after the misstep that matters.

We will hear your concerns with care and empathy. We will offer our genuine apology. And, we will suggest a reasonable solution to correct the mistake, in line with this policy, of course. That brings us to our refunds and returns policy and process that you should review in the event you have a concern or would like to request a refund.

2. Return, Exchange and Refunds Process

If you’re looking to return or exchange your order for whatever reason, we’re here to help! We offer returns or exchanges within 30 days of purchase. You can exchange your product for another product or a refund to the original payment method.

Thank you for your purchase and interest in our products. While we take pride in all our FortiFood products, if they do not satisfy you, then we are happy to assist you with a return. We have a hassle free returns policy for online purchases. Please inform us in the event your purchase did not completely satisfy you, and we will gladly exchange your product or refund you.

You may return any item (s) purchased from www.fortifood.co.za within thirty (30) days of the date you received your order for a full refund. We will process the refund via the original method of payment, within 14 days of receiving the returned item (s). We will email you with confirmation.

Depending on your financial institution, it may take several days for your refund to appear on your bank statement once processed.
