As a result of ongoing domestic and global freight and supply chain increases, our Delivery Policy was updated on 15 August 2023 to increase the minimum order spend required to receive free freight. 
  
Gourmet Brands has received a substantial freight increase from its freight companies over the previous 12 months, which has led to smaller orders becoming unprofitable to provide free freight. 
  
Instead of putting through product price increases to cover these large increases in freight, we feel that by working closely with our retail partners we can gain efficiencies together, which will mean the changes will have no effect on your business. 
  
For the few businesses that do order less than $250 per order, we would recommend ordering $500 every fortnight instead of $250 every week which will mean you will still receive free freight. 

We do not accept product returned due to a change of mind. Please see our returns policy here which relates to damaged or faulty products.

You are able to cancel orders prior to the completion of the order. Once an order is complete it means it has been dispatched to you and we are not able to cancel the order. We do not accept product returned due to a change of mind. Please see our returns policy here which relates to damaged or faulty products.

Each year we release a range of products for pre-order for seasonal campaigns such as Christmas, Easter, Mother’s & Father’s Day. 

This means that our wholesale customers are able to order in advance and secure the stock that they need for later delivery. At Christmas time, customer can choose from an October delivery of a November delivery,  

For example – our Christmas pre-sale commences in February with customer able to pre-order a range of products for the following Christmas. Pre-orders close at the end of May to allow time for the production of packaging, manufacture of the products, shipping and delivery to our warehouse in time for delivery to customers as per their chosen delivery month. 

For customers, pre-ordering means that you are able to secure the stock that you need for key gourmet gifting periods well in advance and you are not invoiced for the order until shipment of the product to you. 

For Gourmet Brands, the pre-sale process allows us to work with our suppliers and manufacturers to ensure production of the products ordered by our customers.  

It means that we are ordering the stock our customers require and providing sufficient time for import of our international brands.  

Again, it is important to note that invoices are not raised for pre-orders until the product has been packed and sent to customers.  

We no longer provide pre-payment options for online orders.
