We are sorry to hear that you remain dissatisfied with your recent order.

As a business that has been supplying fresh meat and food products for over 40 years, we take complaints regarding product quality extremely seriously. Whenever concerns are raised, we review the matter thoroughly rather than making assumptions.

In this case, we conducted a full investigation, reviewing our quality control records, packing procedures, dispatch records, and the courier tracking history. Our findings showed that the order was prepared fresh to order, quality checked, packed, and dispatched on 15/06/2026 via APC's next-day delivery network, exactly as intended.

The courier records show that the parcel was originally scheduled for delivery the following day. However, the delivery date was subsequently rearranged at 21:17, resulting in the parcel remaining within the courier network for an additional day before delivery.
This detail is important because the products ordered were fresh, perishable meat products. Unlike non-perishable goods, fresh meat is highly dependent on maintaining the intended delivery timeline. Our insulated packaging, thermal liners, and ice packs are specifically designed to maintain temperature throughout the planned next-day delivery journey. They are not intended to preserve fresh products indefinitely if the delivery schedule is changed and transit time is extended.
We would like to make clear that we are not criticising the customer's decision to rearrange the delivery. We fully understand that customers may have work, family, or other commitments that prevent them from being available. However, when ordering perishable products online, changes to the original delivery schedule inevitably increase the risk of product deterioration, particularly during warmer weather conditions.

It is also important to note that APC provides alternative delivery options, including delivery to a neighbour or a designated safe place, should a customer not be available on the scheduled delivery date.

The previous order referenced in the review was also investigated at the time and involved entirely different circumstances. Our records show that the parcel had been left outside the property in direct sunlight for an extended period after delivery. Following that investigation, a goodwill refund was agreed and accepted.

As part of our checkout process, all customers are required to review and accept our Terms & Conditions before placing an order. These specifically explain the importance of accepting delivery of perishable goods on the scheduled delivery date and outline the risks associated with delivery delays or rearrangements.

After reviewing all available evidence, we found no indication that the products were spoiled at the point of dispatch. We remain satisfied that the order was prepared correctly, quality checked correctly, packed correctly, and dispatched correctly. The only material factor identified during our investigation was the extension of the parcel's transit time following the delivery rearrangement.

We appreciate all feedback and always endeavour to investigate concerns fairly and transparently. Whilst we respect the customer's right to their opinion, we believe it is important that readers understand the full circumstances surrounding the complaint.
