If the products in your basket weigh over 25.01kg and you live outside mainland UK, the calculation may be double due to the shipment taking up 2 parcels as to 1.
Delivery costs will be calculated at checkout. If you are unsure whether your delivery address falls inside UK Mainland, please use the DHL Service availability and delivery times graph (link below) where you can search using your postcode. https://www.dhlparcel.co.uk/en/business-users/support-hub/business-support/postcode-service-availability.html
Palatable Items will be organised with the customer and therefore delivery may have a longer lead time due to the admin that needs to be done for this.
Items weighing under 0-2kg are mostly sent with Royal Mail and items weighing over 2kg are sent with DHL. Some items weighing below 2kg will can still be sent with DHL due to their size and shape. If your item is sent with DHL we are able to offer a track and trace service in real-time. Check out their new app below which can help you track your order.

European Shipping
We are able to ship to customers across mainland Europe. Since Brexit 1st Jan 2021, we are unable to ship casings and certain food products to Europe. Items not able to be shipped to Europe are highlighted on the website and you will not be able to proceed with your order at the checkout if these items are added to the basket.
Following Brexit you will no longer be charged UK Tax at checkout but you will be charged Customs Duty and VAT which are calculated at the checkout for an upfront total cost of your order.
The postage, customs and VAT rates are all dependent on where you live, what you order, the weight and the price of the items. All of this will be calculated at checkout to make it a worry-free purchase.
Please see below for the list of European countries we ship to:
Republic of Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece (Mainland), Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland.
If your country is not listed here, please contact us for information and if posible a shipping quote.
For most European destinations the delivery time can vary, but we suggest allowing 5-10 days working days, depending on your location. There may be delays on shipments as we and couriers are still getting used to VAT checks and customs clearance since Brexit.
Worldwide Shipping
If you are located outside of Europe we can sometimes ship to the Far East, Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA depending on the items being ordered. Please contact us for advice on Countries we are able to ship to and what can be sent.
