Important Opening and Shipping Information


Important Information 

DPD have capped many businesses, including us, on how much we can ship per day.

Please note that there may be a slight delay in the arrival of your order, and it may not arrive the next day. Due to the restrictions in place, if your order cannot be shipped that day, it will be kept in our freezers until it is dispatched.

We will endeavour to ship all orders as quickly as possible, but please allow a few days for your delivery to arrive.

Please do not change your delivery date with DPD, as your parcel will not be stored in a controlled temperature environment and we cannot guarantee the condition it will arrive in.
