FAQs

Delivery

Where do Oat Pantry deliver to?

We currently deliver our boxes of ‘oaty’ goodness across Mainland UK, the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and the Western Isles.

PLEASE NOTE:

Deliveries to the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands/Isles are delivered via Royal Mail and are capped at 2kg, due to our current service with Royal Mail having a 2kg limit (this is equivalent to 4 x granola/porridge packs or 3 x granola/porridge packs and 1 x overnight oats jar or 4 x granola/porridge packs and 1 x baked oats dish as some examples ).

Unfortunately we have found many couriers within these post codes for heavier parcels over 2kg charge a very high surcharge to these areas, which as a business we can’t justify passing on to the customer. So at the moment parcels sent via Royal Mail up to 2kg is the most cost efficient solution for these post codes.

We hope you can understand and we are continually searching for better solutions for our customers and for us as a small business.

How much does delivery cost?

For Mainland UK (non remote) – orders under £26 have a delivery charge of £3.99 for a standard Royal Mail tracked service (3-5 working days). Orders over £26 get FREE DELIVERY via a standard tracked service (3-5 working days). There is also an express courier service (1-2 working days) for £5.99 available.

For Scottish Highlands – orders up to 2kg have a delivery charge of £3.99 via Royal Mail (3-5 working days).

For Scottish Isles – orders up to 2kg have a delivery charge of £3.99 via Royal Mail (3-5 working days).

For Isle of Man – orders up to 2kg have a delivery charge of £3.99 via Royal Mail (3-5 working days).

For Northern Ireland – orders up to 2kg have a delivery charge of £3.99 via Royal Mail (3-5 working days).

How quickly do you dispatch?

Typically we dispatch orders the next working day, however, if you order before midday you may find we are able to do a same day dispatch.

PLEASE NOTE: during busy times we may require an additional 1-2 working days to dispatch your order. We’re a small team so we can’t always guarantee next working day dispatch.

How fast is delivery?

We aim to deliver all our orders within 1-5 working days depending on the courier service available for your area (see above for more details).

Which courier do you use for delivery?

We use a combination of DPD & Royal Mail based on your address. More details above or shipping estimate shown in your basket.

Do I need to be in to receive my delivery?

As our Oat Pantry boxes are packed full of so much ‘oaty’ goodness they unfortunately don’t fit through a letterbox, so they do require you to be in. We use Royal Mail and DPD for our deliveries, Royal Mail will give you the option of a redelivery at a date of your choosing or you can collect from a Post Office (look out for a red delivery slip). DPD will give you multiple options in advance, such as delivery on a day of your choosing, delivery to a neighbour or safe place or delivery to a DPD drop off point.

Alternatively, a lot of our customers have their Oat Pantry orders delivered to their place of work to ensure someone is always in.

How do I change my delivery address?

You can change your delivery address by logging into your account here http://www.oatpantry.com/customer/account/index/. If it’s close to your delivery window for your order please do contact us at hello@oatpantry.com to see if we have enough time to change the delivery address.


Products

Do you make the products yourself?

Yes, of course, all our products are carefully hand crafted in our Market Drayton bakery, nestled in the Shropshire countryside.

Are your mixes gluten free?

Yes, all of our recipes are gluten-free and absolutely delicious!

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We are a 100% gluten-free service, our kitchen is dedicated to only Oat Pantry products and we never include any gluten-containing ingredients (including our oats that are certified gluten free). However, due to the constant changing recipes we have not sort Coeliac UK certification with the grain symbol, so for Coeliacs please use our service at your discretion.

Are you vegan friendly?

Yes all our mixes are vegan friendly.

I am allergic to an ingredient, what should I do?

All of our recipes are gluten-free and absolutely delicious!

We list all allergens on our packaging and product pages on our website before hand.

If you’re concerned with a specific ingredient or allergy please get in touch at hello@oatpantry.com

Are your products organic?

Not all the ingredients we use are certified organic, so we can’t say overall our products are organic. We try and source as local ingredients as possible, this means we work with a lot of small run farms who aren’t certified “organic” only because they can’t afford to be, but they still use practices like regular crop rotation and chemical free farming.

What is the shelf life of your granola & porridge?

Our porridge and granola can be stored, unopened and at room temperature, for up to 8 months.

Some of our products may have a 3-4 month shelf life. Please get in touch if you’d like to know specific shelf lives.


Orders

My box hasn’t arrived. What should I do?

We are sorry to hear that. Please drop us an email at hello@oatpantry.com with your order number and we will look into what has happened.

Can I return my Oat Pantry order for a refund?

Unfortunately, since what we sell is perishable, we don’t accept returns. However, if you are not entirely satisfied with your order, please contact us via email at hello@oatpantry.com and we will do everything we can to help you.

How do I enter my discount code?

Discount codes can be entered at the “My Basket” stage of your order by entering your promotional code into the “Coupon code” box at the top of the page.

Make sure you enter the codes as it appears on the offer as they are case and space sensitive.

These codes can’t be used with any other offers and can only be used once per customer. Some codes are only valid on certain products.

Why isn’t my discount code working?

There are a few reasons that your discount code may not be working.

– Check that you have typed the code correctly. Type it exactly as it appears, not leaving any spaces between the characters.

– All of our discount codes have an expiry date. Check your discount code details to ensure it is still valid.

– To use a discount code for your first order, we must not have delivered to your address before – even on another account.

– Some discount codes will discount a specific range of products rather than your whole order. Check the details of the discount code.

– Only one discount code can be used per order. If you have multiple discount codes to use, check the expiry dates and save the others for future orders.

– Some of our discount codes will have a minimum spend. Check your basket total to see if it meets the terms.

If none of the above applies or you’re still having trouble, we’ll be happy to help, drop us an email at hello@oatpantry.com.

I’ve forgotten to enter my discount code

Once your order has been placed, it cannot be edited. You can only add discount codes at the time of placing the order. Check the expiry date and use it on your next order, if valid.
