We will confirm our acceptance of your order by sending you an email that confirms that the Products are being dispatched (dispatch confirmation). The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the dispatch confirmation.

We may contact you to say we cannot accept your order for the following reasons: a) The Product is not in stock or no longer available; or b) There has been an error in the price or description on this website.

In the case (a) or (b) above applies, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not charge you for the Product. If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible, and in any event within 14 days.

Title of goods will pass to you at the point we charge your payment card or, when other payment methods are used, funds are credited to our account.

8. THE RETURNS PROCESS

Due to the inherent nature of perishable food items, we regret that we are unable to accept returns on such goods unless they were damaged upon receipt and the damage is reported to us within 12 hours of delivery, accompanied by photographic evidence.

For non-perishable goods, you may return items within 28 days of receipt, provided they are unused, in their original packaging, and accompanied by proof of purchase.

To process the return please email [email protected] and include your order number and the details of the product(s) you would like to return.

10. EXCHANGE POLICY

Please note that we currently do not offer an exchange policy. If you wish to return an item, please follow the procedures outlined in our returns policy, and a refund will be processed accordingly.

11. PRODUCT SUBSTITUTION

Due to the seasonal nature and availability of some of our products, particularly fresh and perishable items, we may, on occasion, need to substitute an ordered product with a similar product of equivalent or greater value and quality.

We will always strive to ensure that any substitution is as close as possible to the original item ordered. If a substitution is necessary, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you prior to dispatch. However, in some instances, particularly with last-minute availability changes, this may not always be possible.

By placing an order with us, you acknowledge and agree to this possibility of product substitution. If you are unhappy with a substituted perishable item, please contact us within 12 hours of delivery, along with photographic evidence if applicable, and we will assess the situation in accordance with our Returns Policy. For non-perishable substitutions, our standard returns policy will apply.

12. WHAT IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR ORDER?

We take great care in packaging your perishable goods to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. However, if your perishable items are damaged upon receipt, please contact us immediately by emailing [email protected] within 12 hours of delivery. In your email, please include your order number and attach photographic evidence of the damage. We will assess the situation and work with you to find a suitable resolution. Due to the nature of these items, we are unable to accept returns for reasons other than damage upon arrival reported within this timeframe.

For non-perishable goods, we accept returns within 28 days of receipt, provided the items are unused, in their original packaging, and you have proof of purchase.

13. RECEIVING A REFUND

Your refund will be credited to the original purchaser’s bank card. Crediting refunds to this account should take no more than 14 working days from our receipt of the Product(s) or cancellation notification but may, in exceptional circumstances, take longer. All reimbursements of funds relating to returns will be processed through our Head Office. All Product(s) purchased during sale periods can be returned and refunded in accordance with these Terms.

We monitor return and refund activity and reserve the right to limit or refuse a return or charge a return processing fee if we find that our policies have been abused.

Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may exercise your rights to cancel this contact in accordance with these Terms. Where you elect to cancel the contract as a result of such delay, this does not affect your legal right to cancel under consumer legislation.

If you are not present when the Product is delivered, our delivery service will aim to leave your order at the intended delivery address or in a pre-specified safe location at your property, if you have requested this in advance. Please note that a card will not be left, and re-delivery or collection from a depot will not be arranged. We regret that we cannot change the delivery address after the order has been placed.
