Shipping Policy — MAK Eastern European Delicatessen
UK Delivery
We ship all orders from our warehouse in Scotland.
Standard Delivery (2–4 working days): from £3.99
Delivery cost is calculated by weight at checkout.
We aim to dispatch all orders within 1 working day of payment being confirmed.
Chilled & Fresh Products
Chilled items are shipped with appropriate cold packaging. Please ensure someone is available to receive the order, as we cannot be responsible for chilled products left unattended after delivery.
Delivery Areas
We deliver to all mainland UK addresses. Some remote areas (Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland) may have extended delivery times or additional charges — these will be shown at checkout.
International Delivery
We ship worldwide. All international orders are sent from Scotland by Royal Mail. Delivery cost is calculated by the total weight of your order, and the exact amount is shown at checkout before you pay. We cannot accept single international orders over 25 kg — if you need a larger quantity, please contact us and we will arrange it as separate shipments.
