We use DPD as a third party courier with next working day delivery but please note that sometimes there are unfortunate delays and we cannot guaranty a next working day delivery. If there are any items that are not immediately available then we will telephone or email you and offer you the option of an alternative product, to wait until stock of the missing item arrives, or to send out the order without that item.

As long as your delivery address is in the UK, we can deliver on a Saturday at a delivery charge of £17.00. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee weekend delivery as this is up to DPD third party courier. if your parcel is not received on the Saturday we will be more than happy to refund/gift voucher the remaining balance of the delivery cost.

If you have any questions that are not answered here then please send contact us. We are available on the telephone Monday to Friday 8AM to 4PM.

If you place an order for "Frozen" products. i.e., Boerewors, Koeksisters our products are delivered Tuesday - Friday. Products are sent out frozen and packed with specially designed ice packs and bubble wrap to ensure they remain fresh until they are delivered to your door, they may be defrosted by the time they get to you, please consume within 3 days. If fully defrosted, please do not refreeze. Frozen Boerewors can stay out of the freezer for up to 48 hours. if your order takes longer than 48hrs from dispatch please give us a call and we can happily sort this out for you.

Fresh orders are treated differently to regular non-perishable orders and may take longer to process due to factors like availability.

 

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: If an order containing fresh meat (boerewors) is placed after 12pm on a Thursday it will be dispatched the following week (Monday).
