Product Satisfaction and Returns Policy
Your deposits, final payments, and goods are non-refundable except in special circumstances where you are dissatisfied with the product or service in line with the Fair Trade Practices Act. Refunds are not available for change of mind. If animals are marked ‘killed/shot/processed to order’ and the process has been initiated or completed, the sale is deemed final. If you are dissatisfied with your produce, please contact us by email or contact form within 24 hours of receipt of your produce so we can discuss an appropriate resolution with you.
Due to the logistical difficulties of returning fresh produce, we prefer to offer replacement or seek an alternative solution where possible. A credit note will be issued in these circumstances. Once a deposit is paid and your goods are received by us, we will hold your goods at an external cold store until final payment is made. We will endeavour to keep goods at premium quality and may elect to freeze the goods to meet this expectation. Frozen and refrigerated goods are held at a cost of $17.00 per week plus GST. This holding cost will be payable by you on a weekly basis, and applies from your due date onwards (storage up to your due date is not charged). This cost will be deducted from any monies paid (including deposit and/or final balance) and applied each 7 day period, following A) due payment date; or B) final payment made awaiting delivery or collection (uncollected goods). Once the balance of your deposit or payment is depleted, goods will be available once all storage costs are paid by you, or, if expired, destroyed in line with our product storage policy, below.

We reserve the right to withhold deposits for orders that fall outside outlined delivery areas, or where you deem delivery costs too high. Delivery costs are set by couriers COLD COURIERS (road) and VIRGIN AIR (air) and are outside our control. Please note that by submitting your order and accepting our terms and conditions you are agreeing that you are within available delivery/pick up areas and accept all costs in transporting your goods to you.
