DELIVERIES Monday 21st November – Sunday 15th December

Deliveries as usual, but please be aware as we use a 3rd party courier, these couriers will become busier as the festive season continues. So we urge you to order before Thursday 12th December for delivery before the Christmas and New Year period.

Monday 16th December – Sunday 5th January

Limited delivery slots available. All deliveries sent in these weeks are subject to delay due to Christmas courier volumes.

Christmas Holidays

Christmas is the busiest time of year for many companies, and we do our best to ensure you get your delivery when you expect it. We advise to order as in advance as possible to ensure you get your delivery in good time. As you will be aware The Sausage Man uses 3rd party couriers, these couriers will be extremely busy. We are advising all customers ordering sausages for the Christmas and New Year period to before Thursday 12th December.

Order Before 12th December

In order to make sure you recieve your goods ahead of Christmas we strongly recommend ordering before 12th December. Although we will be operating our delivery service between Monday 16th and Tuesday 24th December, our couriers will be extremely busy and limited. As such, they do not guarantee next day delivery. The Sausage Man UK recommends that you read our full terms and conditions on 3rd party couriers.

Alternative Delivery Methods

Temperature Controlled Pallets
Frozen and chilled pallet companies work in a slightly different way since they can store our goods for some time if necessary. This means they have different operating times to those published above. If you would like a quotation for a temperature-controlled pallet, please contact us at the earliest opportunity. This service must be booked and paid for 24 hours before dispatch, so it is best to contact us at least a couple of days before you need it loaded, the earlier the better.

Sausage Man Van Delivery

The Sausage Man UK Ltd runs our fleet of vans in and around central London, going to and from our base in Dartford, Kent. These ‘shared’ routes load several deliveries all in a similar area, and may be a chargeable service. We can also do bespoke dedicated van deliveries when we have the capacity. We will be running a number of extra vans this Christmas. All van delivery enquiries should be made by contacting us directly, as far in advance as possible.
