🛠️ Troubleshooting

The recipient didn't receive the email

Check these first:

  1. Spam/junk folder (it sometimes lands there)

  2. Email address is correct (check for typos)

  3. They know to expect an email from Coffeeangel

Still not there?
Contact us at shop@coffeeangel.com with your order number and date of purchase and we'll resend it to a new email address if needed.


I need to change the send date

Contact shop@coffeeangel.com before the scheduled send time with:

  • Your order number

  • New preferred send date

⚠️ Important: We can only change the date if we haven't sent the email yet.


Can I cancel or get a refund?

Send a Coffee gifts are non-refundable once purchased, as they're processed as digital goods. However, if there's a technical issue or error, please contact shop@coffeeangel.com and we'll do our best to help.


The recipient is traveling/outside Ireland

That's okay! The gift code remains valid indefinitely. They can redeem it whenever they're next at a Coffeeangel location in Ireland.


Can they use it for online orders?

No, Send a Coffee gifts are in-store redemption only.

If you'd like to send a gift for online shopping, choose our Online eGift Card instead.
