You will be notified via email once your order has been dispatched, and this email will include all tracking details relating to your order. Changes to your order's delivery status will be indicated via your tracking number on the courier website. All orders are delivered via registered courier and will require a signature, unless you provide Authority To Leave during checkout.

 

• IF YOUR ADDRESS IS UNATTENDED AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY

If you have not provided Authority To Leave, your parcel will be transferred to the nearest post office for collection within 7 business days before being returned to the sender.

While we endeavour to deliver goods to your nominated address within the time frames indicated, we cannot guarantee delivery times particularly during busy promotional and sale periods where some order dispatches may be delayed due to the additional volume. Dispatch of orders may also be delayed where payment or address information requires verification or correction prior to dispatch.

 

• ADDRESS CHANGE

Requests for address change must be made before you receive a tracking number. Once your order is dispatched with a tracking number, CookDineHost cannot be accountable for change of address. We do not reimburse or replace due to unsuccessful address change.

 

• AUTHORITY TO LEAVE

By selecting the box "Authority to Leave" you hereby authorise us to arrange for your parcel to be delivered to and left at your nominated shipping address without requiring you to sign for delivery ("ATL delivery"). If you select to receive your parcel via ATL delivery, you acknowledge and agree that only confirmation of delivery by the delivery driver (engaged directly or indirectly by CookDineHost) will be obtained, in order to satisfy proof of delivery. To the extent permissible by law, CookDineHost disclaim all warranties and liabilities in relation to the delivery of the parcel. Unless otherwise required by law, CookDineHost will not replace or refund items which you do not receive if being delivered via ATL delivery. By selecting ATL delivery, you acknowledge and agree that the delivery driver maintains the right to only leave the parcel at your shipping address if they deem the property safe to do so.

If the buyer chooses an ATL (Authority To Leave) delivery option, any risk of loss passes to the buyer and/or any other person who signs for the receipt of the delivery. We are not responsible for your package once the carrier states ‘Delivered’ or ‘Notice left.’ Replacements for cookbooks are not eligible.

Pre-Order

On occasion, we offer pre-order items. This allows customers to secure an online purchase while stock is on its way.

Please read the product description carefully to ensure you’re happy to wait for the expected arrival date. Here you will also find the estimated arrival date of the pre-order. This date is an expected delivery date only, and may vary due to elements out of the control of CookDineHost. CookDineHost will ship pre-order items as a priority once stock has arrived to our warehouse.

You will be charged at time of placing a pre-order. Pre-orders cannot be exchanged before delivery. If you would like to cancel your order, please contact us at support@cookdinehost.com

If your order includes both a pre-order item and other items, this order will be held and dispatched when all items are available. We do not split orders.

You will receive an order confirmation email once the order is placed, and a follow up confirmation email when your items are shipped.

Customers are responsible for keeping their shipping & contact information up-to-date to ensure shipment of pre-orders are delivered to the correct address. Please or email us at support@cookdinehost.com to update your details.

For further information regarding your already purchased pre-order, please log into your Account, and go to 'My Account' to view live status updates.
