   6. Due to the perishable nature of our Goods, Royal Mail will not leave the parcel containing your order outside at the delivery address unless there is a safe place deemed suitable or this has been specifically instructed and authorised to do so by you, as there is a possibility the quality of the products could be affected because of this.

   7. In the event that Royal Mail is unable to make delivery of the Goods due to the unavailability of a recipient at the delivery address at the date and time advised for the delivery, they will either:
      • leave you a notification of their unsuccessful attempt to delivery and details of how you can contact them to receive your parcel; or
      • leave the parcel with a neighbour or in a safe place deemed suitable by the delivery driver or following instructions as advised to Royal Mail by you following notification of the intended delivery date.
   8. In the absence of a recipient at the delivery address or absence of suitable alternative arrangements being instructed by you prior to the delivery attempt, or a refusal to accept delivery at the delivery address, Royal Mail will return the parcel to us. Due to the perishable nature of the Goods, upon return receipt at the Royal Mail depot or our own premises, the Goods will be destroyed. The parcel containing your Goods will not be re-sent due to food safety issues, nor will a replacement order be sent.
   9. In the event that the products become spoiled and unfit for consumption as a result of a missed or unsuccessful delivery or your lack of instruction to leave the parcel with a neighbour or other location at the delivery address in your absence, neither we nor Royal Mail shall have any liability to you for any loss as a result.
