• Images of Food Products are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in computer displays, lighting conditions, and the fact that foodstuffs will naturally vary in appearance.

• There may be occasions where a manufacturer has changed their recipe and this has not yet been reflected in the information on our product pages. In addition some product descriptions may have been supplied by a third-party. Please always refer to the product packaging upon receipt of your order for the fullest and most up to date copy of the product’s ingredients.

7. Delivery FAQS

 

7.1 How will my delivery arrive?

All deliveries made by the Storms Raw Emporium Ltd Trading as The Natural Treat Company team are in our own vehicles. Although our couriers don’t use frozen transport, we do pack our orders in poly boxes and ice if needed. We cannot accept responsibility for defrosted food within 48 hours of delivery from our courier.

 

7.2 What if I’m not home? If you are not in we will leave in a safe place of your choice and endeavour to provide poly boxes to keep your food frozen. Sometimes this is not always possible. Please note that ownership of ordered goods will pass to you once we have delivered the order to you (either to you or by leaving it in a safe place or with a neighbour as advised by you). For courier deliveries we send them in poly boxes, if you choose to make delays to your parcel via DPD app (choosing a different delivery day) you become liable for your parcel/s. This may result in your parcel being destroyed.

 

7.3 How late can I place my order? Orders must be placed by 12noon the day before your delivery day (i.e for a Friday delivery the order must be placed by 12noon Thursday). We do have weight limits on our vans. Once the vans are full, we reverse the right to cut orders off.

 

7.4 What days do you deliver? We operate delivers Monday to Friday.

 

7.6 My order is wrong, what do I do? Please check your delivery against your order sheet at time of arrival. In the rare occasion we have had to substitute something, it will be written on your delivery sheet. If you are missing items from your order then you must notify us within 24 hours via email info@thenaturaltreatcompany.com

Our 3rd party couriers will deliver goods within 24 hours of dispatch although this is not guaranteed due to delays. We will not accept any responsibility for goods which are refused at 48hrs and boxes will keep food fresh for up to 72 hrs. Ice packs will be used in hot weather conditions or busier times to keep goods fresh for longer.
