Shipping policy
Last updated: June 2026
This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how we process, dispatch and deliver orders placed through onelifefoods.co.uk.
We aim to dispatch orders quickly and keep delivery clear, reliable and simple.
1. UK Delivery
UK orders are usually sent using DPD or another tracked courier service.
Delivery options, costs and estimated timescales are shown at checkout before you place your order.
UK delivery is usually estimated at 1–2 working days from dispatch, depending on the delivery service selected, your location, order volume and courier performance.
Delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless a guaranteed delivery service is specifically offered and paid for at checkout.
2. Order Processing Times
We aim to process orders as quickly as possible.
Our usual order cut-off for same-day processing is 2pm Monday to Thursday, excluding bank holidays.
Orders placed after the cut-off, on Fridays, weekends or bank holidays may be processed on the next working day.
During busy periods, product launches, promotional events, courier disruption or seasonal peaks, processing times may be longer.
3. Free Delivery
Free UK delivery may be available when your order reaches the free-delivery threshold shown on our website or at checkout.
Free delivery thresholds and delivery offers may change from time to time.
If a discount code, refund or partial cancellation reduces your order below the free-delivery threshold, delivery charges may apply.
4. Delivery Charges
Delivery charges are calculated and displayed at checkout.
Charges may vary depending on:
-
delivery destination;
-
parcel weight;
-
parcel size;
-
delivery service selected;
-
promotional offers;
-
courier availability;
-
international shipping requirements.
We reserve the right to update delivery charges at any time, but changes will not affect orders already placed.
5. Tracking Your Order
Once your order has been dispatched, you should receive tracking information by email, SMS or through the courier’s tracking system, depending on the details provided at checkout.
Please check your tracking link for the latest delivery updates.
If your tracking has not updated for several working days, contact us at:
6. Delivery Addresses
You are responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery information at checkout.
Please check your address carefully before placing your order, including:

any delivery instructions.
We are not responsible for delays, failed delivery or loss caused by incorrect or incomplete delivery information supplied by the customer.
If you notice an error after placing your order, contact us immediately. We will try to help, but we cannot guarantee changes can be made once the order has entered processing or dispatch.
7. Safe Place and Delivery Instructions
If you ask the courier to leave your parcel in a safe place, with a neighbour, outside your property, in a porch, shed, bin area, communal space or other unattended location, this is done at your own risk.
Once the courier records the parcel as delivered according to your instructions, responsibility for the parcel passes to you.
One Life Foods cannot be held responsible for loss, theft, weather damage or other issues resulting from safe-place delivery instructions given by the customer.
8. Missed Deliveries
If delivery is attempted and no one is available, the courier may:
-
attempt delivery again;
-
leave the parcel at a collection point;
-
leave the parcel with a neighbour;
-
follow your delivery instructions;
-
return the parcel to the depot;
-
return the parcel to us.
Please follow the courier’s tracking instructions to rearrange delivery or collect your parcel where required.
9. Returned Parcels
If a parcel is returned to us because delivery was refused, the address was incorrect, the parcel was not collected, customs charges were not paid, or the courier could not complete delivery, we may deduct reasonable return or re-delivery costs from any refund.
If you would like the parcel sent again, an additional delivery charge may apply.
