Last Updated: September 2026
Sarupaning Araceae ships live plants with careful preparation and export-grade handling. Due to the nature of live plants and international shipping, all purchases are subject to the following Return & Refund Policy.
By placing an order with Sarupaning Araceae, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this policy in full.
1. Order Cancellation Policy
An order is considered final once payment has been successfully received.
If you wish to cancel your order, please submit a written cancellation request to us as soon as possible. All cancellation requests are subject to review and approval based on the current stage of order processing.
The following cancellation charges apply:
Cancellation Fee — 5%
A 5% cancellation fee will be charged if the request is received within 24 hours of placing the order and before any export documentation or phytosanitary certificate processing has commenced.
Cancellation Fee — 10%
A 10% cancellation fee will apply if the request is received more than 24 hours after the order was placed, or after export documentation or phytosanitary certificate processing has begun — provided the order has not yet entered the packing stage.
Orders Cannot Be Cancelled
Once packing has started or the shipment has been dispatched, the order becomes non-cancellable and is no longer eligible for a refund.
All cancellation fees are calculated based on the total order value.
For approved cancellations, the refund will be processed to the original payment method after deducting the applicable cancellation fee. Depending on your payment provider or financial institution, refund processing time may vary.
If Sarupaning Araceae cancels an order or is unable to supply the ordered products, the customer will receive a full refund with no cancellation fee deducted.
