Fudge boxes

Update: During January 2021, we won’t be offering Special Deliveries (expediated delivery within the UK).

On standard UK orders, please expect at least 1 additional working day on top of usual estimates when you place your order.

Orders will be dispatched on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

We have temporarily suspended all international deliveries. This is because of delivery delays as well as ongoing difficulties in UK customs laws, as well as occasional reports of significant customs costs experienced by customers. When we know a bit more, we will put international deliveries back in place.

 

 

At Roly’s Fudge, all of our prices are inclusive of standard postage and packaging within the UK. This means there are no nasty shocks at checkout!

Packaging of your Roly’s Fudge Order

If you have selected ‘No gift wrap’ when placing your order, your fudge will come in a complimentary white ‘Roly’s Fudge’ box containing your Roly’s Fudge.

This is a box to add further protection to your product, and should not be assumed as a form of gift wrap.

If this box is damaged in any way, we are unable to send a replacement for this white container.

If you have selected any form of ‘gift wrap’ when placing your order, your fudge will come giftwrapped in the Roly’s colour choice of wrapping paper you have selected. The wrap comes with a ribbon of our choice, as well as a Roly’s Fudge tag, a Handmade in Roly’s Fudge sticker, and your chosen message card.

If this box is damaged in any way, please contact us immediately at mail@rolysfudge.co.ukwith a photograph of the damage. We may ask you to return the product, in which case please retain the receipt so we may reiumburse postal costs.

International Delivery

International orders continue to take considerably longer to arrive due to COVID-19 and currently due to pressures on customs following the UK leaving the EU. Please get in touch mail@rolysfudge.co.uk if you would like to discuss your order prior to placing it.

All International parcels to Europe and worldwide now come with a tracking number. Royal Mail gives the delivery aim that parcels to Europe are normally received within 3 to 5 working days, and delivery to the rest of the world is in 5 to 8 working days. However, this is not a guarantee. Our experience has shown that parcels can take 10-15 working days. Currently, we estimate this as being more.

During busy periods such as Christmas all European parcels do take longer than usual. Should you have any questions prior to making your order please do contact us at mail@rolysfudge.co.uk.
