PRIVACY POLICY & TERMS AND CONDITIONS

DELIVERY POLICY

The Kitchen Front uses Royal Mail, Parcel Force and occasionally other courier services to perform your delivery service. In order to ensure that your delivery is successful, please read the following information:

1. When will I receive my delivery?

Orders made on line will have a postage cost added to the final shopping price created by a simple postage matrix. If goods are in stock, they will be sent within 2 working days by standard Royal Mail delivery. However, a majority of goods are made to order. This means that items have to be produced before being posted. Goods made to order will take 5 working days to produce. Most goods will need to be signed for as they are parcels. You will be contacted by email as soon as your order arrives in the office when the delivery date will be anticipated. Please note that this is not a guaranteed delivery date for your order. Some areas may take longer due to the frequency of deliveries to the delivery post code.
When the goods have been posted, you will receive confirmation of the postage and if applicable a tracking number. At that time, we will be able to give you an accurate expectation of delivery

Summary

Order arrives, we contact you to let you know if the order is in stock or needs to be made. If in stock, it will be sent within 2 working days.
If needed to be made, it will be sent within 7 working days.

Once posted, you will be contacted to let you know of estimated delivery date and give tracking number if applicable.
