Delivery Information
All orders are processed within 2 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receiving your order confirmation email. Orders placed before 12 noon will be shipped the following business day, after 12 noon, the order will be shipped 2 business days later unless an alternative delivery date is requested.
We ask our customers to confirm a preferred delivery date. Every attempt is made by us to ensure delivery is made on the requested day however this is not a guaranteed date. We will dispatch orders so that they should arrive when requested, but as we currently use an external delivery company, it is out of our hands if delivery is not made on the preferred date. We do advise the company of the preferred delivery date, and every effort is made to keep to this date.
Every gift box, hamper and cheese board will be delivered in our protective packaging to ensure it arrives in the best possible condition. Our cheese box and Box of Sunshine contents are carefully packed directly in boxes for shipping. We package all our cheeses & other chilled items with an ice pack to keep the cheese as fresh as possible during transit.
