3.3 In the checkout you will be given a day of delivery. All orders and amendments for that week must be made prior to your order deadline, which is 9am two days prior to your delivery day. Any changes after this time will be applied to your next order. If your order deadline has passed and you wish to make amendment you may call us on 01637 873 756 or email us on help@realfoodbox.co.uk .

Your order or amendment will be agreed verbally or by return email.

3.6 Whilst we make every effort to ensure that the website is updated with current prices and stock levels, all products are subject to stock availability and price change. If an item you have ordered is unavailable we will endeavour to offer you an alternative if one is available. You are under no obligation to accept the alternative. If no alternative is available, the item will be removed from your order and you will not be charged for it. We will, however, bear no liability for product availability (or lack thereof). Note that this is not applicable to set our Seasonal Boxes where an alternative will be added without notification.
3.7 By their nature, seasonal products are exactly that – seasonal. We will bear no liability for seasonal availability (or lack thereof) and price fluctuations. The price for a product may vary weekly. Therefore any items on repeat orders may vary in price. We recommend that you review your weekly order prior to the order deadline.
3.8 The contents of the 'set' boxes (non-seasonal boxes that stay the same each week) are subject to change with no notice. Whilst we try our best to avoid such a situation, sometimes produce can become unavailable or has increased too greatly in cost. If changes are necessary they will be made by 5pm on the Friday before the week of delivery. We will honour the contents of these boxes for the upcoming week as published at this time (ie. changes will not be made mid-week).
