Please also note that the shipping rates for our products are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full kilogram.

In order to give us time to ensure your products are packaged and distributed to the highest standards we request that orders are received by at least 1.00 pm on the day prior to the day of delivery.

Orders received Monday to Thursday before 1pm will be packed and despatched that day or the next day for next day delivery via a courier.

Orders received after 1pm will not be processed until the next day.

Orders received after 1pm Thursday, or on Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be processed on Monday for Tuesday delivery, however due to the large quantity of orders we ship on Monday it can take an extra day to arrive.

Please be assured that our packaging will keep our products safe for 3-4 days in transit, so if your order is delayed then there should be no need to worry! If goods are received partially defrosted; this does not affect the quality or safety of the products in anyway and you can safely freeze the products as soon as possible after delivery.

Please note that we do not deliver on Saturday, Sunday, Monday or public holidays such as Good Friday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Orders received on these days will be despatched on the next available shipping day. If you have any concerns about when your order will be received, please feel free to contact us.

ORDERS FOLLOWING BANK HOLIDAYS CAN TAKE AN EXTRA DAY DUE TO THE HIGHER VOLUME OF PARCELS OUR COURIERS HAVE TO DELIVER.

On rare occasions it is possible that your order will arrive in more than one delivery.

We cannot be held responsible for the non-performance of any aspect of order delivery arising as a result of incorrect information being provided. Therefore, we will not accept responsibility for incorrect postal addresses provided by the customer or consequences of leaving the items where requested. You may be responsible for the cost of delivery and return of the goods in these circumstances.

In addition, if the delivery driver cannot access your safe place (e.g. inside a block of flats when there is no one to open the door) and does not leave the item as a result, we cannot accept any claims if the order is taken back and delivered at a later date or destroyed.

If you do not provide delivery information regarding where you parcel should be left, our couriers will leave without signature as the content is perishable. It is your responsibility to make sure you are in to sign for your parcel if you do not have a place for it to be left. We will not accept liability for missing orders that have been shown to be left by the GPS tracking from our couriers. If you believe your parcel has been stolen you will need to contact your local police to report a theft from your property.

We will not accept responsibility for loss, damage or spoiling of goods if you instruct the delivery company to leave the goods unattended.

We shall not be liable for the non-performance of any aspect of order delivery arising as a result of circumstances beyond our control.

In the unlikely event that your order should fail to arrive on the relevant delivery day please advise us of the fact by e-mail at: info@alif.uk within a period of 48 hours, providing us with your order number, postcode and delivery date, and we will investigate the reason and respond to you within a further period of 48 hours from receipt of your e-mail. If, as a result of our investigations, we fail to come up with an appropriate reason for non-delivery or are unable to locate a signed proof of delivery document your order will be deemed by us to be ‘lost’. In these circumstances you may either cancel your order and we will refund any amounts paid in full, or we will arrange for delivery of the goods on an alternative date.

We cannot be held liable for any consequential loss whatsoever as result of a product being ‘lost’ or not arriving on time.

For every order placed via our website you will receive an order confirmation, by e-mail, within 24 hours of placing that order with full details of products, prices and delivery details requested on that order. Please do not hesitate to contact us if confirmation is not received within that time frame.

It is important to note, we still make our food by hand in the time honoured tradition and, whilst we always aim for next day delivery, we are unable to guarantee next day delivery.

CHANGING YOUR DELIVERY DATE

If you would like your order to be delivered on another date, please notify us: info@alif.uk and provide customer name, email address, order number, order total and requested delivery date. Requested changes to your delivery date are not guaranteed unless you have received confirmation of your request by our customer care team or by email correspondence.

CANCELLATION

Website orders can be cancelled at any time up the point that our courier collects the order on the day of despatch. To do this simply email: info@alif.uk quoting your order reference number and we’ll refund any monies paid in advance as soon as possible. Please note however, our couriers collect throughout the day so advance notification is advised.

CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTION ORDERS

Subscription orders are unable to be cancelled and refund automatically for you.

We give you complete control over your subscription orders, to edit order content, billing information, change delivery details, pause and cancel. As well as notification of upcoming orders three days in advance of processing, so cancellation once an order is processed is subject to a £10.00 cancellation fee.

If you would prefer to provide us with a future delivery date, we can hold your order until that date, free of charge. This will give you the time to visit your account and move your next delivery date forward to accommodate this delay.

We are continually looking for ways to improve our service to you so would appreciate feedback on why you feel the need to cancel your order, although you are under no obligation to do so.

If you cancel your order after our courier has collected your order, you must return the goods to us at your own expense and in the original packaging. You must ensure goods are packaged adequately to protect against damage and will arrive at our premises still in a frozen state.

If you fail to return the goods, we can arrange to collect them, and will charge you the direct cost of collection. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they are returned to us, and this results in damage or deterioration, we will charge you for the reduction in value.

This cancellation policy does not affect your legal rights, for example if goods are faulty or miss-described.

DELIVERY INFORMATION

Our courier is instructed to always leave your parcel safe at your address if there is no one home to accept delivery. If necessary, you can specify a safe location (eg in a shed, garage or with a neighbour) when placing your order.

If the courier leaves your item in the safe location you requested or because that location is unsuitable leaves it elsewhere. Then you, the customer are responsible for collecting it from that location.

CHANGING THE DELIVERY DATE WITH OUR COURIER

Our couriers can change the delivery date of your order, however please note that this is completely at your discretion. Your order will not return to a freezer between leaving our facility and arriving at your address. We are not liable to reship or refund your order if you have changed your delivery date with our courier. Please note that as your goods are perishable, our courier are within their rights to destroy the parcel if not delivered when scheduled by us. We cannot accept any claims where the customer has changed the delivery date.

If you change the delivery address once the goods have been despatched to you, we reserve the right to pass on any extra charges made by our couriers for redirecting your delivery. We and our couriers will do our very best to ensure delivery, however we cannot accept any claims if not delivered to the new address successfully under any circumstances where the change was requested but the customer after ordering.
