Royal Mail Tracked & Priority 1-2 day Weekday Shipping:
We charge a standard shipping fee of £4.95 or £7.95, depending on the size and weight of your order, for orders to the UK mainland. This is calculated at checkout. For example, small hot sauce orders are despatched via Royal Mail and large, heavy beer and wine orders are despatched via DHL. We subsidise all shipping costs to keep the price as low as possible, but it may still work out slightly more expensive than some other courier services – however, it offers your purchases the best chance of arriving in one piece!

We can deliver large and heavy orders to the Scottish Highlands for £20.95 (our courier charges a higher rate for these regions). Smaller orders will be despatched via Royal Mail at the standard quoted rate. We regret that we cannot deliver internationally.

Orders placed before 12pm Mon-Fri will be dispatched on the same day. Orders placed at weekends will be dispatched on the next working day. The vast majority of orders sent via DHL are received the following working weekday but please allow up to 3 working days in the event of an unexpected delay with the courier service. It will provide you with tracking information and options should you need to rearrange delivery. If you are not home at the time of delivery, DHL will attempt to leave your order safe with a neighbour where possible, rather than returning it to us. Any questions regarding your delivery, please get in touch.

Same Day Delivery (weekdays, London only):
This premium across-town service is available for London-based customers who need their order ASAP. Orders received before 4:30pm weekdays will be dispatched the same day; orders received after that will be dispatched the following week day. Orders received on weekends will be sent the following working weekday. Costs are automatically calculated based on distance and time of day, and usually delivered within three hours.

Pick Up (Peckham/Deptford shops):
Local customers can choose to collect from our shops - you'll find the Pick Up tab on the Delivery page in the check out. After your pick up order is placed, we will be in touch to let you know when your order is ready to collect - most orders will be coming over from our warehouse, so we will let you know when your order is ready to collect. Unfortunately we cannot hold orders for collection for longer than 7 days unless by prior arrangement.

Build A Box:
We have disabled this option due to customers confusing this with free shipping. If you would like to make multiple orders and get them shipped together, please select "pick up at shop" as your shipping option, then email us to let us know you'd like them set aside for future shipping.  

Packaging

We use thick walled cardboard boxes and paper padding for most orders - we try to avoid plastic wherever possible but will sometimes reuse bubble wrap and biodegradable chips from goods that have been sent to us.

Returns

Very occasionally, an order may arrive damaged due to courier mishandling. We prefer to offer credit on these rare occasions rather than use wasteful packaging on every delivery. If your delivery arrives damaged, please send us a photo of the package and broken contents, and we will arrange a credit or, if practical, a replacement.

If you have changed your mind about your order, please contact us ASAP via email or telephone (+44 20 7450 0284) within 14 working days. We regret that due to the nature of our products (designed to be consumed fresh), we are unable to offer refunds after 14 days. The items must be then be returned in their original condition and packaging within 14 days to receive a refund. Ensuring the safe return of the package and postage cost will be the responsibility of you, the customer.
