Delivery Policy
Please read our delivery policy before booking. By purchasing from GRAPE & Fig you thereby agree to our delivery terms & conditions detailed below.
Local Delivery (M25/Essex)
How do you deliver?
Our ready-to-eat products are made fresh each morning & are highly stylised & extremely delicate. Therefore, they are not suitable for a standard overnight courier delivery service (such as DHL/DPD), but require a same-day, fragile, hand-delivered courier service, which we provide.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver to most of the M25 & Essex.

Can I change any details of my delivery once my order is placed?
Customers can amend their order within a 2-hour 'grace period' after the time of booking.
Beyond this, GRAPE & Fig are unable to process any changes to the delivery window or address you selected at checkout or at the point of invoice being issued.
Where are deliveries made?
In order to keep all deliveries on track & to stay on schedule for all of our customers, each delivery is made to the ground floor (front door / concierge / building reception) or loading bay, strictly.
To limit delays we kindly ask all customers to provide a UK-based mobile phone number for point of contact for delivery & provide us with accurate delivery addresses, notes &/or instructions to make each delivery as smooth & efficient as possible.
Please provide loading bay or delivery access information in the delivery notes at the point of booking. Our couriers are happy to deliver to loading bays but they need to be pre-booked if required by the building management & our couriers are only able to use said loading bays if they are directly within/outside the delivery address.
If there isn't a loading bay/safe & legal place to unload directly outside the delivery address, we require our customers to meet the courier to accept their order. Thank you for your understanding.
If incorrect delivery addresses, notes &/or instructions are given to GRAPE & Fig (such as 'deliver to reception', when deliveries can only be made to a loading bay) the courier will fail the delivery & will continue on their planned route. Re-delivery may be possible based on availability at an additional cost of £25 to the customer.
Order Tracking
Once your order is made & packed at HQ, GRAPE & Fig will automatically send an email to let the customer know that the order has been made & will be delivered within the booked time slot. To limit delays we kindly ask all customers to provide a UK-based mobile phone number for point of contact for delivery & provide us with delivery notes to make each delivery as smooth & efficient as possible.
Early or Delayed Deliveries
While we aim to ensure deliveries are made within purchased delivery windows, we do operate a 15-minute buffer either side of our customers' delivery windows to allow for any unforeseen circumstances. Due to factors outside of our control such as loading bay or concierge delays, protests, road closures, road accidents, heavy traffic etc, deliveries may be delayed. Similarly, deliveries may arrive a little earlier if planned routes are more efficient than expected.
Do I need to be in to accept my delivery?
Yes, the customer needs to be readily available to receive their order.
Customers need to ensure they provide a UK-based mobile phone number for point of contact on delivery.
It is solely the responsibility of the customer to open & check all products received strictly at the point of delivery. It is therefore the responsibility of the individual who has booked the order to be present to receive the order.
Once products are received & accepted (once above checks have been made) at the point of delivery, orders will be classed as fully 'accepted' by the customer. If orders are not checked at the point of delivery, orders will still be classed as 'accepted' by the customer. By 'accepting' an order from GRAPE & Fig, the responsibility of the products thereafter is solely the customer's.
If the courier needs to park & pay in order to deliver, GRAPE & Fig will charge back the client these costs.
If a customer is not available to accept their order & there is no safe place to leave the order, the courier will wait a maximum of 10 minutes after arrival (within the booked delivery window) & thereafter will continue on their planned route, & a re-delivery (which will be charged at £25) will only be offered if possible.
What is your policy if there is no one to receive the product?
The driver will attempt to deliver to a neighbour. Failing that, the driver will attempt to deliver to a safe place & the customer will be informed where the delivery has been left.
GRAPE & Fig is not responsible for the order once left in a safe place or with a neighbour.
In extenuating circumstances, where delivery is not possible through any of the above options, re-delivery may be possible based on availability at an additional cost of £25 to the customer.
Food Handling
All ready-to-eat products are extremely fragile & must be kept perfectly flat to avoid damage.
It is solely the responsibility of the customer to open & check all products received strictly at the point of delivery or collection. It is therefore the responsibility of the individual who has booked the order to be present to receive or collect the order, & handle the product/s with the utmost care.
Once products are received & accepted at the point of delivery or collection, orders will be classed as fully 'accepted' by the customer. If orders are not checked at the point of delivery or collection, orders will still be classed as 'accepted' by the customer.
