Our products do not travel in refrigerated transport and as such we are unable to guarantee that the chocolate will not melt.

Best of British is not liable in the instance that chocolates or any other products are altered as a result of their transportation.

Please contact us either by phone or email us at [email protected].

Some lines of products are only available in store and some perishable or fragile items cannot be sent out via mail. If you have a special request, please email or ring us and we’ll let you know if we can help.

At Best of British we take pride in offering you the highest standard of products and service. However, it’s important to note that most food items are perishable and chocolate, in particular, can react to changes in temperature.

Contact us if you’re not familiar with the correct temperatures for the specific products you’d like to order.

We guarantee the quality of your products up to the time your order is dispatched.

We do sometimes run out of certain lines, usually because of the time taken to import stock from the UK and Ireland. However, on average we have containers arriving every 3 or so weeks.

We will contact you by email or phone to advise when our new stock is arriving, offer you an alternative product and determine how you want to proceed.

Unfortunately, we can’t always reorder products that are on sale or discontinued.

We calculate your delivery costs based on the weight or size of your order.

  • All standard orders are sent by registered parcel using Australia Post
  • Standard delivery costs are based on the weight or size of your selected items and your delivery destination
  • Cost is displayed at the checkout prior to purchase
  • Delivery by Express Post is available on request – fixed costs apply

Usually, we dispatch all orders within 24 hours, unless received on a Saturday or Sunday. These orders will be processed the following Monday.

At peak times like Christmas or Easter we receive high volumes of orders, so you should allow longer.

You should allow from 3-7 days for parcel delivery to major Australian cities. Delivery to regional areas may take longer.

You can opt for Express Post if your delivery is urgent.

Best of British will endeavour to provide you with full ingredient and nutritional information, if requested. However, we cannot offer advice about your dietary requirements or accept any responsibility for an allergic reaction to the products that we sell.

The best approach is for you to request information about ingredients via email, or in person at our shop in Perth. If you’re unsure about the suitability of any product, we suggest you seek professional advice.

You can rely on us to take our time sourcing and securing the best deals possible to bring you the best prices. So, in fact, our products are often cheaper than the supermarkets and we offer a much wider choice.

While we don’t have storewide sales, we usually have some items on special every week.
