3. Refund & Cancellation Policy

3.1 Cancellation by Chicken Express
We reserve the right to cancel orders due to operational issues, technical difficulties, or item unavailability. In such cases, you may be eligible for a refund. Refunds may be provided either to your original payment method or issued as a store credit (coupon) for future use, depending on the nature of the cancellation and at our discretion. Customers may express a preference, but the final refund method will be determined by our management team.

3.2 Cancellation by Customer
 You may cancel your order within 5 minutes of placing it by calling us directly. If cancellation occurs before food preparation begins, we will issue a refund as a store credit (coupon) for future use. Once the food has been prepared or dispatched, cancellation is no longer possible, and no refund or credit will be issued. Refund method requests will be considered, but Chicken Express (One Best Express) reserves the right to choose the appropriate method based on the stage of order processing.

3.3 Payment Gateway & Refund Timelines
We use Global Payments for all transactions. In case of errors, duplicate charges, or reversals:
  • First, check with your bank.
  • Refunds may take 5 to 10 business days depending on your bank’s policies.
  • Contact us only if unresolved after bank inquiry.
