Receiving your delivery

You don't need to be home — couriers will leave your box in a safe place at the address provided. Our insulated packaging keeps meals safely chilled for up to 12 hours after delivery, but we recommend refrigerating them as soon as possible.

If you'd like specific delivery instructions (e.g. "leave behind side gate"), add them at checkout in the delivery notes field.

Damaged, missing or late shipments

We stand behind every box. If your order arrives damaged, incomplete, or warm to the touch, contact us within 24 hours of delivery with a photo and your order number and we will replace the affected meals or refund you — your choice. See our Refund Policy for full details.
