Deliveries will be made in the Sydney and Canberra metropolitan areas weekly, on a specified day or as otherwise arranged. Deliveries outside the designated metropolitan areas can be arranged at the time of ordering and but will be subject to transport availability. Deliveries to non metropolitan areas will incur a freight fee of 5% of the invoiced amount to cover part of the delivery expense.
We cannot guarantee a particular time for delivery, nor can we avoid busy times or lunch periods. However, if your premises cannot be attended at the time of delivery, it will be your responsibility to provide a secure place for orders to be left and to ensure that payment is made punctually. Risk and responsibility for the goods passes to the buyer upon delivery as arranged and from that point must be paid regardless of any theft, damage or spoilage.
TRADING TERMS are “CASH ON DELIVERY”

We guarantee 14 days shelf life on all fresh and chilled products, however we can not accept the return of chilled or frozen goods, as it contravenes HACCP standards.

Please note that all efforts will be made to support new customers for a reasonable period of time in order to build sales above the minimum.
