5) Purchases

Any order submitted via our website is not accepted by us until an email is issued from us confirming this. Any order submitted by phone will be accepted (or rejected) verbally by our staff and payment taken over the phone. Your submission of an order amounts to an offer to enter a contract to buy the goods from us. When we accept an order, we do all that we can to fulfil that order. However, products are subject to availability and we cannot guarantee that all products will be available at the time of accepting an order. If we are unable to deliver an item you have ordered for any reason, the item will not be charged to your account, giving rise to a credit, which may be offset against future orders. Credit may be refunded to your card upon request.

All products are subject to fluctuations in supply levels and prices. We will endeavour to warn you of any changes to price or availability of items, but we reserve the right to change our prices and products as necessary. If you are a regular (repeat) customer, prices may differ from when your original order was placed. We recommend that you check our prices regularly via the website or by phone. Some items may be sold by weight. Weights are approximate and for guidance only, thus the weight you receive may vary from this guide and the price charged will be for the weight of produce delivered.

Ordering a product from us carries with it the obligation to pay for it, together with any applicable delivery charge, unless we receive a cancellation or amendment from you before our stated deadline of 48 hours prior to delivery. Delivery days at present are on Tuesdays and Fridays. You remain responsible for ensuring not only that any such cancellation or amendment is issued to us, but also that it is received by us before the stated deadline. Any orders cancelled before the stated deadline will give rise to a credit which may be offset against further orders. Credit may be refunded to your card upon request, subject to a card handling fee.

Where an item has been displayed on our website with an incorrect, erroneous price we reserve the right to remove that item from your order, amend the price to one that is correct or to not deliver the item and refund the price paid.

6) Delivery of Products & Returns and Refunds Policy

We will make delivery to your delivery address as stated when you register or complete checkout or update that address. We reserve the right not to deliver to all locations. You are responsible for making suitable arrangements to receive your delivery and for giving us appropriate instructions. In the event that your delivery is stolen from the agreed delivery location or damaged there, we do not accept liability, but may consider compensation at our discretion. Any changes to delivery address details must be made before our stated deadlines.

We will advise you which day your delivery will take place. We will endeavor to keep this day the same but reserve the right to change it temporarily or permanently, and will advise you if we do so.

If we are unable to deliver your order, or have to deliver late or on a different day, for reasons beyond our control, we cannot accept liability for any inconvenience or loss that this may cause.

Claims for damaged, poor quality or wrongly delivered goods must be notified to us within 24 hours of delivery, otherwise they may not be considered. It may be necessary for us to inspect defective goods and you will be notified if this is the case when a claim is made. We will refund or replace defective goods notified to us within this timescale, provided that the defect(s) have not been caused by mistreatment, neglect or accidents caused while the goods are in your possession.

Please ensure that all produce is stored correctly after delivery. Fresh produce, except potatoes and bananas, should be kept chilled.

Due to the short shelf life of fresh produce, we are unable to accept any returns unless a mistake was made on our behalf. If we have made a wrong delivery, we will endeavor to deliver your correct order or refund you for missing items. Please leave out items for collection that were not ordered.
