How hard is it to cancel Riverford?
Riverford scores 72/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the UK — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app, phone, email.
Riverford can be cancelled online (via account or app), by phone (01803 227227), or by email ([email protected]). The notice deadline is two days before the delivery day — online cancellations must be submitted by 11:45pm and phone/email by 5pm on that cutoff day. In exceptional circumstances Riverford may cancel up to 1pm the day before delivery but will levy a one-off farm-preparation charge; no cancellation is possible after that point. Refund terms for already-paid orders are not explicitly disclosed, but cancellations within the standard notice window are described as free of charge. UK CMA guidance on clear online cancellation paths is consistent with the online self-service option Riverford provides.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
