3. Delivery: Receiving Your Purchased Item
Pickle offers three delivery methods for purchases:
Courier — Same-day delivery if you are within range. A courier picks up from the Seller and delivers directly to you. Check the name on the courier's phone before accepting the item.
Hand-Off — Meet the Seller in person at a safe, agreed location coordinated through in-app messaging.
Shipping — Pickle offers dynamic shipping speeds. Your item will be dispatched by the Seller's ship-by date. If the item does not arrive as expected, contact Pickle Support.

4. Confirming Condition on Arrival
You must inspect your item within 12 hours of delivery and complete your condition report in the app.
If the item is:
Not as described
Damaged beyond what was disclosed
Counterfeit
Missing components
Contact Pickle Support immediately with photos from your condition report. If a refund is approved, you will need to set up a return right away.
5. Returns & Refunds for Purchases
Because Pickle facilitates peer-to-peer sales, refunds to your original payment method are available if an item is not as described, damaged, incorrectly sized without disclosure, or has authenticity concerns.
Fit refunds for purchases are at the Seller's discretion. If the Seller offers fit refunds and approves your request, the refund will be issued as Pickle Credits, not back to your original payment method. Check the listing for the Seller's fit refund policy before purchasing.

Providing accurate delivery information
Confirming delivery in the app once you receive the item
Inspecting the item and completing your condition report within 12 hours of delivery
