Fish For Thought Terms and Conditions

In our business, speed is essential to get the fish to you in the shortest time possible from when the boats land their catches. We have tried to devise a system to achieve the fastest turnaround, from order to being delivered to the customer, so far the best we have come up with is as follows.

We will check our Post box and emails daily and reply the same day, by email or telephone within 24 hours.

Telephone contacts will be dealt with as quickly as possible, (01208 262202 (8am-4pm Mon to Fri, 24/7 Answer phone), please leave your number and we will get back to you a.s.a.p.

All orders will be dispatched by overnight carrier will be packed in a cardboard box, with sheep's wool pouches and gel packs, and will reach you the following day. DPD provide a 'Next Day' delivery service (Tuesday to Saturday) so please consider this when selecting your delivery date. We recommend taking your delivery the day before you need it, if it is needed for a special occasion or event.

Our minimum order value is £35 with an additional £3.95 delivery charge as standard. Delivery is free for orders over £50 (this is subject to change - we run various offers so please check with us). Peak dates, such as Christmas Eve may include a standard delivery charge, please check our delivery schedule for more information. Please note If you are purchasing Gift Vouchers as part of your order, the order must include £35 worth of seafood to make this viable for shipping/delivery

We process all the usual credit/debit cards online, but due to the new 3D Secure system we now have to charge at the time of order, any variations due to non-availability etc, we will refund for any difference when we dispatch the goods.

##Complaints
