Refund and Returns Policy for Live Plants
Gryffindor Reptiles
Thank you for choosing Gryffindor Reptiles. We pride ourselves on providing healthy, high-quality live plants for your reptile and terrarium needs. Due to the delicate and perishable nature of live plants, please review the following guidelines regarding refunds and returns.
1. Eligibility for Returns
We accept returns and issue refunds only under the following circumstances:
- Damage During Transit: If your plant arrives with significant physical damage or visible signs of shipping stress.

Please note: To qualify for a return or refund, you must contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide clear photographic evidence along with your order details.

Due to the natural and living nature of our products, we are unable to accept returns for:
