Availabilty
eFoodies specializes in those foods that are rarely available commercially. From the batch production methods, the artisan skills invoked, the scarcity of the product. All these elements mean that we cannot always guarantee to stock what you wish for. Should you need to know if any of our gourmet foodstuffs are unavailable please phone 08456 439 121.

Delivered to you in perfect condition

To ensure that your order reaches you in perfect condition, chilled goods are sent in a sealed thermo container (reusable) with ice packs. Frozen foods are sent in a thermo container with dry-ice. This is very best way to send frozen foods because there is absolutely no increase in temperature. Perfect food, perfectly delivered. As with all products packed with dry ice, please follow the instruction on the container. The protective packaging is for your saftey, hence please follow the instructions included in the packaging. We make no profit from our packaging/delivery costs. The delivery/postage charge

Ordering Process
When you place your order the debit/credit used will be authorized, but not charged until your order has been dispatched. Sometimes, for security reasons, orders are placed 'on hold' because the card used has failed to meet the security check. Usually this is because of an error in address or card number, but we will phone you within 24hrs if this happens so as to confirm the details of the transaction. No monies are actually taken from your card until the order has been dispatched.

Alternatively if you wish to collect your items, you can come to our premises in New Covent Garden saving on packaging costs, if this is more convenient to you. Just phone 0845 643 9121 for details.

Dispatched Order
Once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, you will receive an Order Dispatched confirmation email. This email is confirmation that you have been charged for the products that you have purchased from eFoodies and that your order has actually been dispatched to you. Once you have received your 'order dispatched' confirmation email, you can expect your order to normally arrive within 24 hours.

Tracking your order
For all deliveries (other than postal) your order can be tracked, by you, through the unique consignment number assigned to your package. All you need to do is phone us on 0845 643 9121 and we will you give you the consignment number and the relevant local depot telephone number. So if you then want to know the expected delivery time more accurately you can just phone up the depot and ask.

Receiving your order
You must ensure that there will be somebody to sign for your delivery at the delivery address that you specified, at the time you have requested. We cannot take responsibility for orders that are sent back to the delivery depot.Some multi-product orders may be delivered by multiple deliveries.
