What if I need to cancel my order?

Our produce is delivered daily by our suppliers based upon the order requirements.  If you no longer require your delivery then we can only accept cancellations the day before your delivery is due. Unfortunately, if you cancel after this time we will not be able to accept any cancellation requests and will deliver your order.   

​

Can I set up a regular delivery day?

Of course, however, we know that you might want to change what you need based upon what you are cooking that week or what is in season. Therefore, we encourage our customers to order what they would like each week. We will always have a slot available so don’t panic about reserving a delivery day. We just ask that you order before your delivery day window closes.

​

I need to make an amendment to my order; how can I do this?

If you are still within the time window for your delivery day then please add a new order onto the system for what you need. If your delivery window has closed please contact sales@thefruitbasketdirect.uk for support. We will set up a separate order for you for the additional items, however, we do not have the facility to take online payment for these items so you will receive an invoice with your delivery and details how you can pay for these items.

We require your order a minimum of 30 hours in advance of your chosen delivery day. The options change after midnight so please be aware when placing an order of this cut off time. If in doubt please contact us at sales@thefruitbasketdirect.uk and we can check your address against our delivery areas
