SHIPPING INFORMATION

Our checkout system allows you to pick a date in the future to receive your delivery.

Our courier partners are APC Overnight. 

Once your order is shipped you will receive tracking details. Because all orders are shipped via a third-party, you would need to contact the courier directly if you have any questions about your parcel. Their email address is depot175@apc-overnight.com 

If you are buying cheeses for a special occasion, please allow an extra day or two for your cheeses to arrive, in case of unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances.

During December and other peak periods, we may require additional days to process and deliver your order.

PACKAGING

We take great care in packaging and delivering your order.

  • Cheeses are wrapped in specialist cheese paper that will allow them to breathe and not suffocate.
  • Cheeses and condiments are then packaged in a cardboard box (reusable and recyclable) with an insulated foil pouch and ice packs to ensure the correct temperature is maintained for a minimum of 24 hours (up to 48 hours, if required).

GIFT MESSAGES

A personalized gift note can be included with all of our products at no extra charge.

RETURNS, CLAIMS AND EXCEPTIONS

Cheeses are perishable goods therefore unfortunately we cannot accept returns. However, if you suspect something is wrong with your order please contact us immediately (definitely within 24 hours) and supply pictures of the issue.

Farmhouse and artisan products have to be enjoyed as soon as possible due to their highly perishable nature. We cannot offer any refunds after you have kept the cheeses for longer than 48 hours. 

Please note, dates on cheese labels are for guidance only. 

It is your responsibility to track the delivery of your order (including orders sent as gifts). Your confirmation email a connection with Google Calendar, so to help you keep track of your order make sure to add it a reminder to your Google Calendar.

We will do everything possible to re‐route orders for timely delivery but cannot be
responsible for damaged or compromised product due to the following:

  • Delayed deliveries due to weather or other “force majeure” situations;
  • Incorrect addresses;
  • Unopened shipments;
  • Gift shipments sent to recipients who are out of town or otherwise unavailable to receive their shipment. Please notify recipient of the pending arrival of perishables.

Please note, during periods of high shipment volumes, our couriers may not be able to deliver within 24 hours. But rest assured, your order is packed in an insulated pouch on ice so it can be in transit unrefrigerated.
