Shipping Policy

Delivery/shipping of products

For the utmost freshness and quality, all of our products are dispatched on an overnight delivery service with gel ice packs and thermo-insulated packaging keeping items perfectly chilled for up to 24-48 hours. Orders are dispatched only Mondays and Tuesdays.

Time, Means, Place of Receipt/Delivery: The delivery time of your order is determined by its finalisation as well as the order confirmation e-mail received upon its completion.
In case you wish your order to be dispatched to an indicated delivery address, the delivery will be carried out:
a) By a partner transportation company. Our company and its partners take all necessary steps to ensure the timely delivery of the order to the buyer based on the basic delivery schedule of each transportation company. We cannot guarantee neither the arrival time nor the exact delivery time of the ordered goods, as it depends entirely on the transportation companies that we collaborate with. Our company is not accountable for any delays caused by force majeure or unexpected events or events beyond its control. In the event of any delay, our company will make every possible effort to contact you. Our company is responsible for the proper delivery of your order to the carrier, and, from that point on, the liability lies with the buyer subject to article 524 AK. The transportation cost is defined by the pricing policy of each transportation company, which is solely responsible for shipping charges and which may alter the relevant prices at any time. THECAVIARHOUSE is not liable for any such pricing change.

When sending gift parcels to other recipients, make sure the recipient can receive gift parcels and that, generally, the gift will not be considered undesirable for any reason, nor will it be rejected upon delivery, otherwise the product will be shipped to the billing address under the responsibility and expense of the buyer.
