For further information, cardholder should contact their bank as exchange rates are not applied by The British Food Store. All prices shown on our website are inclusive of VAT where applicable.

Ordering Goods

We pride in ourselves in delivering the freshest product that can’t be beaten. The British Food Store do not store chilled food, bread, cakes or fresh vegetables. When placing an order of chilled food or bread, we will then send this order to our butcher, farmers, bakers and suppliers, so you the consumer will get the freshest product dispatched and delivered to you.

The British Food Store delivers non chilled food everywhere and anywhere in the world.

The British Food Store only deliver chilled food to anywhere in Europe.

When ordering chilled food to Europe for same week delivery, all orders must before Friday 5pm. We dispatch chilled food to Europe only on Monday and Tuesday, to the UK is only on Monday and Tuesday and Ireland is only on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This will guarantee that all orders will be delivered by Friday. The British Food Store do not deliver chilled foods outside of Europe.

The British Food Store do not deliver on Saturday, Sunday or on public holidays. 

The British Food Store are delighted to use DHL as our delivery partner. DHL has over 100 years experience in delivering parcels around the world. The British Food Store do not profit from deliveries, so what DHL charge us we pass on the charge to the purchaser at no extra charge. When placing an order with The British Food Store, we will package, label and dispatch the order to DHL. Once the parcel reaches UPS sorting warehouse and ready for dispatch, DHL will then send an email from the email provided to us to inform the receiver of delivery day and time. If the purchaser do not receive an email please contact us at support@thebritishfoodstore.com and we will send the tracking number to you. Any problems with deliveries, The British Food Store will do everything we can fix or sort any issues with deliveries. Unfortunately due to language barriers and time zones we strongly recommend that the receiver contact their local DHL office to assist in any delivery problems, this is a much faster process rather than The British Food Store contacting DHL in Dublin to contact DHL in a different country, that could take days back and forward corresponding and this would not be ideal when chilled food is been delivered.

Any failed deliveries through no fault of our own or through no fault of DHL for example, wrong address given, refused delivery by the recipient or no one available to receive the package, the purchaser is liable for delivery charges. Any failed deliveries when it is our fault or the fault of DHL, The British Food Store will refund any ambient or none chilled products. Any failed deliveries through no fault of our own or DHL, The British Food Store do not refund chilled food for example, fresh meat, dairy, bakery or fruit & vegetables. The British Food Store will except returns on ambient or none chilled products. The British Food Store will not except returns on chilled food for example, fresh meat, dairy, bakery and fruit & vegetables.

When ordering or sending goods to a NON EU COUNTRY and if customs require clearance, it is the receiver responsibility to declare the package or the receiver can appoint a broker agent to declare the package. If any charges occur, the receiver is required to pay these charges. The British Food Store do not accept responsibility for any hold ups or charges that occur during customs clearance. Failure to pay any customs charges and if customs confiscate and destroy the package, The British Food Store will not be held responsible.

Colours, specifications and dimensions of products

We have made every effort to display the colours, specifications and dimensions of items on the Website as accurately as possible. The colours you see will depend on the resolution of your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any colour will reflect accurately the colour of the item delivered. We may from time to time vary the dimensions, specifications and quantities of items displayed on our Website without prior notice.

Food Hampers

Hampers are collections of food and non-food items packaged in containers such as wicker baskets, card or wooden boxes. As these products contain perishable items and items with a rapid expiry date, your statutory right to withdraw purchases within the seven working day “cooling-off” period does not apply to these items. The hampers photographed contain only items listed. This means any props used in the photography are not included in the hampers unless stated in the hamper listing.

When Selecting An Item

When selecting an item some pictures will from time to time have some props added in the photos, these props are not included with the sale price and the description and details will clearly state what product is for sale.

Chilled Foods

Any Chilled Food Orders To Mainland Europe Will Have To Use Air Freight Express Delivery Option.

The British Food Store only ship chilled food for example, fresh meat and dairy to Ireland and the rest of Europe. The British Food Strore do not ship chilled food outside of Europe.

Some of the items we sell are chilled items such as cheese, meat and yoghurt. These items will be sent to you in temperature controlled packaging  which will ensure the goods will arrive with you at the appropriate temperature.

We have carefully chosen packaging which promises to maintain the temperature of the food item for up to 5 days and even longer during the winter. This allows us to be confident that we can deliver perishable goods to you in perfect condition. Your chilled items will arrive to you in an insulated pouch within your regular delivery box or within an insulated box. With both options, the food will be surrounded by frozen, food-safe gel blocks. We will decide which packaging solution to use when we see your order as it will depend on the selection of items you have ordered.

Delivery of refrigerated food items are available within Europe. Due to the longer shipping period, we regret that we cannot ship to countries further afield at this time. If you are abroad and would like to order refrigerated food items for delivery to a friend or relative in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom and Europe we can facilitate this at all times.

Allergies

Please be aware that the information we have provided in relation to the products has been taken directly from the packaging of the product. Claims about any product and the listing of ingredients are based on what the supplier has told us.
