Shipping & Delivery FAQs

We charge £3.99 for delivery. The Cultured Collective’s products are unpasteurised meaning we’ll send them to you chilled. To do this, we need to ship in high-spec, protective insulated packaging and use a priority courier service. These factors make shipping pretty pricey for us and without passing on a portion of this fee as a shipping charge we wouldn’t be able to offer you the option of buying from us direct.

Yes we do, it’s £25. Depending on your choices, this equates to 5 or 6 jars. Similar to above, this ensures that we are able to cover our costs and keep offering you a direct service. You will receive your jars with a minimum of 14 days shelf life, (in practice it’s often longer) so plenty of time for eating!

Our delivery days are Tuesday through Friday and we aim to have your parcel to you within 2-3 working days. For the standard delivery schedule please refer to the table below:
