How we fulfil orders

A clear, structured process

For wholesale trade customers and retail buyers alike — from order placement to invoicing.

01

Order placement

Trade customers order via phone, email, or an agreed process. Retail customers buy directly. All orders confirmed in writing before processing.

02

Order processing

We process against current stock. For wholesale, we confirm availability, quantities, pricing and despatch dates at confirmation.

03

Picking & packing

Orders picked, checked for accuracy, and packed appropriately. Fresh produce handled to maintain quality during transit.

04

Delivery or collection

Goods delivered to a specified address or made available for collection. Lead times agreed with each customer individually.

05

Invoicing & payment

Invoice issued upon despatch or collection. Payment terms for trade accounts agreed in advance and set in writing.

Wholesale order minimums

Minimum order quantities apply to trade and wholesale orders. These vary depending on product category and delivery location. Please contact us directly for details applicable to your requirements. We do not publish a fixed minimum order value publicly — it is agreed on a per-account or per-order basis.

Returns & short deliveries

If a delivered order is short, damaged, or incorrect, customers must notify us within 24 hours of receipt. We will investigate and arrange replacement, credit, or resolution as appropriate. Claims made outside the agreed notification window may not be accepted. Fresh produce returns are assessed case-by-case given the perishable nature of the goods.
