1. Orders, Payment & Ordering Process

What are the order and shipping times?

What are the order and shipping times? We ship our fresh food boxes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. To make sure your fresh food box is on its way on time, the following order deadlines apply:

Sunday, 10:00 pm: shipped Monday, delivered Tuesday
Monday, 10:00 pm: shipped Tuesday, delivered Wednesday
Tuesday, 10:00 pm: shipped Wednesday, delivered Thursday

All orders are shipped via PostPac Priority. Delays caused by Swiss Post are rare but possible. You’ll find shipping dates for holidays and public holidays clearly listed in our shipping calendar.

Can I get a delivery on Saturday?

Yes! If you order by Thursday at 12:00 noon, your fresh food box will be shipped on Friday and delivered on Saturday.

What payment methods are available?

You can pay conveniently with TWINT, Mastercard or Visa. Alternatively, prepayment by bank transfer is also possible.

Is there a minimum order value?

There is no fixed minimum order value. However, for orders under CHF 25.–, we charge a small-order surcharge of CHF 5.–.

Can I still change or cancel my order after placing it?

Simply contact us by email, phone or WhatsApp – depending on the change you’d like, we’ll do our best to make it work. What matters is that you contact us directly. However, since we pre-order our products ourselves and buy them as fresh as possible, we cannot guarantee availability. For cancellations, please also refer to our Terms and Conditions.

2. Subscription Model

Can I take out a subscription?

Yes, almost all of our products are available on subscription.

How can I change or cancel my subscription?

It’s easy: put together your basket in the shop and then order it as a subscription. You choose the product, shipping day, frequency, delivery address and payment method – and you’re done. After that, you can adjust or cancel your subscription yourself at any time. In the customer portal, you can add or remove products, change quantities, pause your subscription, change the shipping date or frequency, update your delivery address and payment method, and view your previous orders. To make sure a change is applied to your next delivery, it’s best to make it before the relevant order deadline (see the information above).

Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling it?

Yes, you can pause your subscription at any time without having to cancel it.
