Safe Catch offers premium seafood products, particularly tuna, which are rigorously tested for mercury levels. Refund eligibility is determined based on specific aspects of our service and product offerings.

Order Errors: Should an order be received that does not match your original purchase (for example, incorrect items or quantities), this may be eligible for a refund upon review of the situation.
Delivery Problems: In cases where an order does not arrive by the expected delivery date, or if the product arrives damaged, customers may be able to request a refund or replacement, depending on the specifics of their situation.
Subscription Modifications: If you are subscribed to one of our seafood boxes and experience issues that require changes to your subscription—like needing to pause or cancel—you should refer to our subscription policy to understand how this affects billing and eligibility for refunds.
