• If we need access through a security door to deliver your order you will need to be home at time of delivery. If you are not home and we are not able to gain access our driver is under instructions to bring your order back to the warehouse. We will then attempt delivery again on the next available delivery day, if this occurs you will be charged a second delivery fee.
• We send out a text message with a two-hour window of expected delivery. Please note this is an approximation only. Although we do our best to make sure your order will arrive 'on time', there are various factors which may cause our driver to run late. As such we make no guarantee that your order will arrive during the specified time. If our driver is running late we will, if practical, send out another text message with an updated estimate.

If possible we will deliver replacement items or we will issue a credit on your account to be deducted from your next order.

However, you will need to make the item available for pick up on our next delivery run to your area. If you have used the item or thrown it away, we reserve the right to reject your claim for a refund. All claims for credit due missing or incorrect items must be made to Doorstep Office within 24 hours of the delivery being received.
• If you have ordered a frozen or refrigerated item, you need to be aware that some defrost and increase in temperature of the item will occur in transit. We pack your items carefully and deliver in refrigerated trucks however once your item is removed from its storage temperature there will naturally be some increase in temperature. Please be assured that the packaging we use for transportation of your colds items is designed to keep them cold for as long as possible and a slight increase in temperature over the space of one day (24 hours) will not mean that your food is no longer safe to eat.
