If you'd like your parcel left in a safe place, this needs to be arranged directly through the courier's website or delivery notification.

To enable this function you must leave a valid email address. Once your order is on its way, you should receive a notification from the courier with a link to manage your delivery. Simply follow that link to choose a safe place or make any other delivery preferences.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to set a safe place on your behalf.

Returns

  • Due to the perishable nature of these products, we are unable to accept returns.
  • If your mushroom spawn arrives damaged, defective, or not as described, please contact us at hello@urban-farm-it.com within 24 hours of receiving the item. You will be eligible for a replacement or refund if we are notified within this timeframe, along with supporting documentation such as photos of the item and packaging.
  • Refunds or replacements will not be issued for reports received beyond the 24-hour window, as the quality of perishable items can degrade rapidly.
