Shipping, collection and customer service

German Deli offers free shipping on all orders over £50 and a Click & Collect service at its warehouse shop. Telephone support is available on weekdays from 12:00 to 16:00. The company warns that during extreme heatwaves, fresh products and chocolate may be temporarily unavailable for purchase to protect their quality; chilled items continue to be sold in the warehouse shop and, if an order already placed includes chilled products and a heatwave is forecast, they may contact the customer to change the delivery date or remove those items. Orders with fresh products are packed in insulated wool bags with cooling packs. The store recommends checking the best before dates indicated on each fresh product, which are the dates the customer will receive, and clarifies that a best before date is not the same as an expiry date.
