While we aim for delivery of all our food boxes on your selected delivery date, this cannot be guaranteed. We work with a third-party courier and cannot be held responsible for any delays outside of our control. If delivery cannot be made on your selected delivery date, DPD will attempt to make a delivery the next day.
We will always aim to contact you where possible to let you know and take steps to minimise the delay.

Currently, DPD can deliver to UK mainland, however this unfortunately excludes Northern Ireland, anywhere in the Scottish Highlands, Islands and Borders as next-day delivery is unavailable. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

We’re really sorry to hear this! Please check the following first:
