Dispatch times:

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Due to the fact that we are selling Live bacterial Cultures and lots of glass-

We advise that it can take 1-7 working days to dispatch orders ,Where we can, we will dispatch more quickly and occasionally it may take a little longer.

We only dispatch Mon-Thursday to avoid the live cultures sitting in the post over the weekend.

Our cultures are incredibly popular and at the moment they are selling faster than we can grow them as the weather has now cooled meaning all the cultures are taking longer to grow and be ready. We have also had to have some repairs in our grow room which has slowed everything down as we have had to restart all the scobys. Current orders containing Kombucha cultures are taking approx 2-4 weeks to dispatch due to this. ALL Other cultures are being dispatched as normal.

We will try to get orders dispatched as quickly as possible but due to the nature of the goods we supply plus supply chain issues which are causing delays in us receiving stock at the moment as well as the volume of orders it is not instant and in most cases it will take us at least a day or so to pack up orders.

If you have questions or want a rough estimate of the wait give us a call 01323 730091

Updates and Delays:

The strikes are over but the service from Royal mail is still as shacky as ever but at the moment they are the best of a bad bunch. We are currently using Royal mail and DPD services.

We apologize that this will increase postage costs but this is because we have had to switch to fully tracked services as Royal mail do not seem to want to deliver letters or untracked post.

Our standard postable service is currently being sent via Royal Mail

Our Express service is being sent via Royal Mail/DPD (up to 500g)

Our Express parcel service is sent via DPD (500g-10kg)

Our standard service/free shipping is sent via Royal Mail/DPD(500G-10KG)

Important Update to DPD delivery terms

These recent changes have been implemented by DPD country-wide – they are not specific to Happykombucha parcel deliveries.

Please take the time to read through the following bullet points carefully so that you are aware of steps that will need to be taken in order to receive your delivery on time:

DPD will now only attempt to deliver your parcel ONCE. If no one is available to take receipt of the parcel, a delivery note will be left, and you will need to take this to your nearest DPD ‘drop off shop’ in order to receive your parcel
If your parcel is not collected within seven days, it will be returned to us at Happykombucha.
It is recommended that you download the DPD app, which can be used to receive updates on your delivery, as well as to collect your parcel at a DPD ‘drop off shop’
DPD will confirm an hour delivery slot via text message, at which point you will be able to request delivery to a safe place, or neighbour – if you do not do this and there is no one available to take receipt of the parcel, a delivery note will be left, and your parcel will be taken to the nearest DPD ‘drop off shop’
When you are placing your order with HappyKombucha, please inform us of any specific delivery requirements (such as, “please leave in my porch”/”please leave with next door neighbour”), so that we can amend delivery notes for DPD on our system
Please follow this link to find your local DPD ‘drop off shop’ https://www.dpdlocal-online.co.uk/products-and-services/dpd-drop-off

We will endeavor to ensure that missed deliveries are minimized, but we would request your help to do this by taking note of the above, and informing us of any relevant details at the point of order. Please note DPD deliver Mon-Fri (excluding bank holidays).

Packaging:

As we sell a lot of glass and fragile items we do have to use a great deal of packaging. We do try to keep it to a minimum BUT we would rather your item arrived in one piece than be mean with the packaging.

HOWEVER all of the packaging that we use is either recycled, can be recycled or is biodegradable. The only exception to this is the tape we use which is made from PVC and needs to be thrown in the normal waste.

Boxes-Our boxes are made from recycled cardboard and can be recycled

Bubblewrap- This is Biodegradable

Packing peanut-These are biodegradable

Culture Packaging-Plastic but it can be recycled*

If you purchase an item that we have not physically made (ie from Kilner or Kefirko) we cannot guarantee the internal packaging is plastic free but we do encourage our suppliers to use as little plastic as possible.

*all culture packaging has been audited and passes Organic standards.

What Happens if your order is delayed?

If your order is delayed by the delivery company please contact us and we will chase up the delivery. If we replace your order and the original order then arrives please contact us to arrange to have the goods returned to us. DO NOT THROW THE GOODS AWAY. We will replace goods once the delivery company have confirmed that the goods are lost, we will no longer replace the order until we have had this confirmation from the courier. Sadly we have had to implement this policy due to the levels of fraud that we are currently facing. We will ask you to fill in a form in order to claim with the courier. This is for GDPR compliance. Royal Mail do not class an order as late until 10 working days have passed since posting.

What happens if your order arrives damaged?

If your order arrives broken or damaged then please inform us within 7 days and take photographs of the damaged goods and packaging. Once we have received photographs of the damaged items and packaging we will replace the item as soon as possible. If we do not receive photographic evidence of the damage we will not be able to process a claim and therefore will not be able to offer a refund/exchange.

Please do not throw away any broken goods until we have confirmed it is ok to do so as sometimes the couriers ask for the goods as part of their investigations.

We will ask you to fill in a form in order to claim with the courier. This is for GDPR compliance.

What happens if your tracking states that the order is delivered but you cannot find it?

We send all orders with a GPS delivery confirmation and some with full tracking (depending on what you select at the checkout). This is a scan shows the location of the delivery as well as the time and date. Some of our smaller orders are sent in letterbox boxes so check that it has not simply been posted through your door (or an immediate neighbors). Often with these deliveries another member of your household has picked up the delivery and forgotten to mention it so its best to double check this. Some of the services that we use provide a delivery confirmation photo so please check the photo as it will often show you were they have left the delivery. If it still cannot be located contact us on 01323 730091 (Mon-Thursday) and we will get that investigated. Please be aware that if the delivery needs to be investigated we will no longer replace the goods until this investigation is completed due to the current high levels of mail fraud we are currently experiencing.

What happens if there is something missing or wrong with your order?

We do try and make sure that all orders are 100% correct however they all packed by humans so occasionally we do make mistakes. If we have made an error with your order please give us a call (01323 730091 Mon-Thursday) and we will get that investigated and rectified for you.

We Charge VAT on all applicable orders and our VAT registration number is 191475390

International Shipping:

Currently we have had to suspend shipments to the EU countries due to difficulties with the EU border and our logistic partners. We are currently working on a solution and hope to reinstate ordering very soon. Trade shipments are still able to be processed.

Please be advised that the courier may look to leave your parcel with a neighbors if you are not at home when they deliver, if you are not happy for this to happen please ensure that you display an opt out sticker available from Royal Mail and notify us in the notes to merchant section of the shopping cart so we can note it on your parcel.
