We do now offer a free pick up in store option. We would love to meet you if you are local and can collect from 378 Mentmore Terrace E8. You will receive an order ready for collection email when your package is ready.

**TRACKING YOUR ORDER**
As soon as your order has been dispatched you will receive confirmation with tracking information. We also would strongly recommend you download the DPD app from the App Store or Google Play, as it is brilliant at keeping you informed as to the whereabouts of your order and your delivery driver, and allows you lots more control over the receipt of your goods. 

DPD have created a helpful video about exactly what happens after you click ‘order’, which you can watch here.  You will also receive a notification on the evening prior to the day of delivery.

Q: I'd like to place an order and send it to multiple recipients?
A: We are VERY sorry but we can't do multiple recipients from just the one order. You need to place an order for each recipient ensuring you put in their delivery address AND a mobile number so they receive the DPD updates.

A: Free DPD next-day delivery for orders over £100. For orders under £100, the delivery cost is £5.99.

Q: Why do I need to give both my email & mobile number at checkout?
A: It's really important you provide a valid email & mobile number so that DPD can send you the tracking number and updates.

Q: What if I'm out when my order is delivered?
A: DPD will notify you of your one hour delivery window and you can watch the progress of your delivery on a real-time map. If you are not in to receive your order please leave a note for the delivery driver to let them know of a safe place/trusted neighbour to leave the parcel with. DPD will then attempt to leave the order in that safe place. However, this is done at your own risk.

A: We use very special insulated packaging made from sheeps wool that we pack with ice-packs to ensure maximum freshness. Woolcool liners are produced using 100% pure wool. They have a proven track record within the food industry as the trusted insulated packaging solution that delivers perishable goods in perfect condition for up to 48hrs. RE-USE AND RECYCLE.
