Easter Delivery Times

At the Sausage Man we always do everything we can to ensure you get your delivery when you expect it. Because Easter is an extremely busy period, we advise our customers to order ahead to ensure you get your delivery in good time. All courier networks experience higher volumes throughout the Easter holidays, and this year is likely to prove even busier than usual.

We are advising all of our customers planning to have some tasty German sausage in time for Easter Bank Holiday Weekend to order before the week commencing Monday 29 March 2021.

Our Holiday Schedule

• Cut off for orders with delivery on Thursday before Easter – 12pm Wednesday 31 March 2021

Order Before 29 March Where Possible

In order to make sure you get your order ahead of the long Easter weekend, we would strongly advise that you get your orders in before the week commencing 29 March 2021. Though we will still be operating our delivery service right up until Wednesday 31st March, our couriers will be extremely busy, and we think it’s better to be safe than sorry in this case.

We are unable to take responsibility for orders that do not arrive next day in the period from 29 March to 08 April 2021. Refunds based on unusable food when orders arrive outside of the 48 hours dispatch period will be suspended during this time.

Monday 29th, Tuesday 30th, and Wednesday 31st:

The Sausage Man 3rd party couriers

Our 3PL couriers will be extremely busy at this time of year. They will have the same staffing problems and transport issues from the (hopefully!) nice weather, lockdown relaxation, and holiday season, that everyone else does in this period. Because we send perishable food items, if a package is not delivered, the goods may perish. The Sausage Man UK recommends that you read our full terms and conditions on 3rd party couriers, and also that you try and make all orders for the Easter period on the week commencing Monday 22nd, as early in the week as possible, to avoid service disruption.

Temperature Controlled Pallets

Frozen and chilled pallet companies work in a slightly different way, since they can store our goods for a period of 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 own fleet of vans in and around central London, going to and from our base in Dartford, Kent. These ‘shared’ routes load a number of deliveries all in a similar area. We can also do bespoke dedicated van deliveries when we have the capacity. All van delivery enquiries should be made by contacting us directly, as far in advance as possible.
