Shipping information

 

When you place an order online you will receive an order confirmation email and we will then aim to send out your cheese within 1 - 5 working days. During our peak season November-December this may be extended up to 7 working days. 

The Kinda Kitchen is closed over Christmas and New Year and orders received during this time will be dispatched the first full week in January. Thank you for your patience while our hardworking cheese team have a break!

Please scroll to the bottom of your order confirmation email and carefully check your address and postcode to make sure they're correct.

Aside from peak season, we generally dispatch our orders on Wednesday for delivery on Thursday/Friday each week via a next day delivery service with DPD. Please place your order before 6pm Tuesday to ensure it is dispatched the next day. Orders placed after the cut-off will be dispatched the following Wednesday.

You will receive a shipping confirmation email from us once your order has been dispatched. You will also receive an email from DPD to let you know that they have your parcel and it's on the way! DPD will then send you another email with a delivery timeframe window when your parcel is loaded onto a van.

We ask that you please choose a delivery address where someone will be able to accept your parcel.

Once you have your delivery date please then be prepared to be home to receive your parcel as rescheduling your delivery may result in delays.

If you are not able to be home to receive your delivery then you do have the option via the DPD tracking portal to select ‘deliver to safe space’ or ‘deliver to neighbour’ however please ensure that the safe space is specified and/or the neighbour is in and aware of your delivery as we cannot be responsible for lost, stolen or undelivered and therefore returned parcels.

Please note DPD save your preference settings so if you have ever previously selected 'deliver to neighbour' or 'leave in safe place' then that is the delivery instruction that DPD will follow for all subsequent deliveries. If you are not sure if you have done this then PLEASE CHECK! We cannot be responsible for lost parcels as a result of DPD following protocol... even if you can't recall ever uploading it!

If you do not have a kindly neighbour or safe space to receive your delivery then we recommend arranging to have your parcel sent to a local Service Point where you will be able to collect at your convenience.

Please take the time to read the above so that you feel prepared and together we can succeed in getting you your cheese! We also ask that you understand that we are a small business and that failing to prepare to receive your order may result in disappointment as we unfortunately...

... cannot be held responsible for any delays due to incorrect shipping information. 

... cannot offer refunds or replacements for orders that are not delivered due to no-one being present to receive.

... cannot offer refunds or replacements for orders that have been intentionally delayed and rescheduled for customer convenience 

... cannot be responsible for issues with the quality of your cheese if any of the above has been the case.

We also cannot offer refunds or replacements for orders that are stolen from doorsteps.

Orders for UK mainland (excluding areas with additional shipping fees as per below) are sent via DPD next day delivery service at a rate of £4.99

We are aware that the following delivery charges are high and this is unfortunately due to the extra charges from DPD for these locations. 

It may be helpful to know that our cheese freezes really well so it may be helpful to place a bigger order to replenish supplies and hopefully having a plentiful supply of cheese may make the delivery fees a more palatable option!
