Alternatively, you can give instructions during the order process to leave the package on the chosen day in a safe place (for example with the doorman or with an informed neighbor) or to collect it at a delivery point of our collaborating companies in the case of products not frozen.

Courier companies try to take into account preferred delivery time slots but cannot guarantee them, which is why we send our orders with certified delivery before 2 p.m. In the event that delivery times are extended because the customer cannot receive the delivery for any reason on the chosen delivery day, CRU is not responsible for the thawing of the products and the possible impact on their quality and cannot accept returns, exchanges or cancellations of contracts in these cases.

All orders that include frozen products are shipped in special insulated thermal packages along with dry ice to ensure they arrive in optimal condition and still firmly frozen on the scheduled delivery day. During the summer months and in cases of delivery to locations where transit times are longer, products may arrive partially thawed. This does not in any way mean that the quality of the products is affected as the products can be safely refrozen in the freezer at home. Claims cannot be accepted based on this.

The frozen products leave the CRU facilities in chambers at -20º C, this turns them into stones that can rub against each other. CRU packages frozen products so that friction between packages is minimal, but due to incidents or knocks during transportation they can weaken some of the corners of the bags. This will mean that there may be some loss of liquid when defrosting and we therefore recommend doing so in an airtight container or on a plate. This does not mean in any way that the quality of the products is affected since the products have been deep frozen and are perfectly safe for furry animals. Claims cannot be accepted based on this.

If the customer cannot receive the order on the indicated delivery day, CRU is not responsible for the possible cold loss of the shipment in the case of products frozen.

CRU cannot be held responsible for failure to perform any aspect of delivery arising as a result of circumstances beyond CRU's control.

In the unlikely event that the order does not arrive on the scheduled delivery day, the customer must indicate what happened by email within a period of 24 hours, providing CRU with the order reference number and the date of delivery. Scheduled Delivery.

CRU is responsible for investigating the reason and responding within an additional period of 24 hours from receipt of the client's email.

If, as a result of investigations, CRU is unable to arrive at an appropriate reason for non-delivery or signed proof of delivery of the order cannot be located, CRU will consider that order as "lost." In this case, the customer can cancel his order and CRU will return the amounts paid in full, or make the necessary arrangements to fix the delivery of the merchandise on an alternative date. CRU cannot be held responsible for any loss or consequence that may result from a product being “lost” or not arriving on time.

The right of withdrawal or exchange does not apply in the case of contracts whose subject is frozen products. In these cases, CRU will not be able to accept returns, exchanges or cancellations of contracts unless the frozen products arrive in a damaged condition, defective or have not been ordered by the customer. In that case, CRU will ask the client for photos or videos to understand the problem and propose a solution. The maintenance of the cold chain cannot be guaranteed in these cases, so a resale by CRU is impossible.

CRU will not accept returns or exchanges whose written notification by the customer occurs after 7 calendar days from the date of receipt of the product by the customer or a third party indicated by the customer, other than the carrier.

The right to withdraw from the contract will apply exclusively to those products that are returned in the same conditions in which the customer received them. No refund will be made if the product has been opened, used or damaged in any way, so the customer must be careful with the product(s) while they are in their possession.

To obtain such authorization, the customer must request the return or exchange of the item from CRU by sending an email to orders@crubarf.com indicating the order number.

Once the customer has received the return or exchange authorization, the customer can proceed to return the products to the following address:

CRU BARF SCP (CRU); Tordera street 44, Local 1 – 08009 Barcelona.

If the damage is externally noticeable at the time of delivery, the customer must also claim it directly on the delivery note of the transport company that delivers.

Once the return or exchange is authorized, CRU will collect the products at the postal address indicated by the customer or request their destruction.

CRU will proceed to carefully examine the returned product and will inform the customer by e-mail or by telephone within a reasonable period of time if, in the particular case, it should be returned or replaced.

The return or replacement of the item will be made as soon as possible depending on the available stock of CRU and its suppliers, but in any case within a period not exceeding 4 weeks from CRU accepting the return of the product as defective by e-mail.

The amounts paid for those products that are returned due to a defect or defect, when it really exists, will be refunded to the customer in full, including the delivery costs incurred to deliver the item. The return will be made in the same way that was used to pay for the purchase.

All orders that include frozen products to destinations outside of Barcelona city are sent in our insulated thermal boxes with dry ice at -80ºC to guarantee that they arrive in optimal conditions and in a good frozen state on the scheduled delivery day. During summer months and delivery to locations where transit times are longer, products may arrive partially thawed.
