If you currently have an order booked for delivery on any date when we are not making deliveries, please log into your online account and select an alternative delivery date. Any deliveries that have not been moved to an alternative date will be removed automatically on Friday 13th December 2024.

If you have already received an email from us about a regular order being moved automatically, this move has taken place, so you don’t need to do anything, unless you’d like to make any further adjustments.
