When will my order be dispatched?
We dispatch parcels Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays), with same-day dispatch for orders placed before 11:00 am. Parcels are shipped via Royal Mail Tracked 24, which delivers Monday to Sunday. Orders placed after 11:00 am on Friday will be freshly packed and dispatched the following Monday.
We typically prepare orders within 24 hours, and you can collect your order Monday to Friday between 9 am and 4 pm at a pre-arranged time. Once you have placed your order, we will contact you via email to finalise the details.
How quickly will my order arrive?
Total delivery time is 1–3 working days (including up to 1 day for processing and 1–2 days for transit).
Deliveries to certain UK postcodes, including the Scottish Highlands & Islands and Northern Ireland, may take an additional couple of days.

We also offer free collection from our warehouse, located at Unit 5r, Ideal Storage, Glan-yr-Afon Industrial Estate, Aberystwyth, SY23 3JQ, UK. If you would like to collect your order in person, please select the "Local Collection" option when placing your order.
How will chilled products be delivered?
Chilled products such as caviar, cheese, charcuterie and foie gras are packed by hand by our diligent warehouse team, led by Abe and Chris, using refrigerated cold packs and thermally insulated packaging designed to maintain suitable transit conditions for 48–72 hours. We send orders using a tracked delivery service so you can follow your parcel from dispatch to delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
My order contains alcohol; are there any restrictions?
We only sell alcohol to those who are aged 18 and over. By placing an order with us, you confirm that you are of legal age. It is illegal to buy alcohol if you are underage or for someone else who is under the age of 18.
What if my order arrives and something is damaged?
In the unlikely event that any of your products arrive damaged, please contact us by email at info@bestofhungary.co.uk with an image of the damaged product and your Order Number. We will offer to re-send the affected item or a refund, with the funds automatically refunded on your original payment method within 7 days.
While we always try our very best to achieve our stated delivery times, things may occasionally go wrong. Please note we cannot be held responsible for circumstances beyond our control, including, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions and delivery partner difficulties.
Please note that deliveries may take longer than usual during busy periods such as the run-up to Christmas. If problems arise, please bear with us as we try to resolve any unforeseen issues.
We cannot accept any liability for any consequential loss, damage or expense caused by a failure in our service. This includes the cost of purchases made to replace an order that fails to arrive.
Is the packaging environmentally friendly?
We source our supplies from Kite Packaging, the UK's leading, employee-owned packaging supplier. We pack each item by hand, using a combination of paper wrap and inflatable bottle protectors. We use recyclable void-fill packaging and recyclable cardboard boxes containing recycled content, or we reuse the cardboard boxes sent to us by our suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint. All packing materials, except for cool packs and thermal insulated packaging, are recyclable.
We use Royal Mail for deliveries, consistently ranked as one of the most carbon-conscious couriers, with some of the lowest carbon footprints per package delivered.
