Do I need to sign for my delivery?

Postage options are available at the checkout for either, "Authority to Leave" or "Signature on Delivery". If you have selected "Signature" postage and are unavailable at the time of delivery, a card will be left for redelivery instructions or the parcel will be made available for collection from your local parcel pick up point (selected newsagents, Service Stations, Tattslotto shops or Post Office).  

When selecting Authority to Leave, keep in mind, that some food items may not survive a day in full sun during warmer weather, and our parcels are not packaged in plastic, so paper goods like posters, books and stationary may be damaged if left out in the rain.

If you have made an error in your delivery details, please email us straight away. We are unable to change details once your parcel has been collected from us by our delivery partners. 

How will my order be packed?

Our orders are packaged in cardboard boxes which have already been recycled wherever possible. We used recycled shredded paper to protect your items in transit and avoid using bubble wrap and excess plastics wherever possible.

We're also proud to use a carbon neutral delivery network for more than 90% of our parcels.
