In order to insure every customer who has ordered for delivery on <strong>December 23rd<\/strong> has their all-important turkey and hams without fail, we will be dispatching your order for delivery on <strong>Wednesday, December 22nd.<\/strong> This extra day means that any issues with access or delivery can be resolved on the 23rd, and every customer will have their goods in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important Questions About Your New Delivery Date:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What if I am not home on the 22nd? <\/em>You can help us by leaving instructions for your courier on where to leave your delivery &#8211; with a neighbour, in a shed, or wherever he can safely access.<\/li>\n<li><em>What if my delivery does not arrive on the 22nd? <\/em>If we are unable to reach you or unable to leave your goods on the 22nd, we will re-deliver on the 23rd. This extra day gives us a margin of safety to make sure you have your goods for Christmas.<\/li>\n<li><em>Will my food be safe? <\/em>Yes. Food safety is our absolute priority. All of our deliveries are packed and delivered in chilled, polystyrene-insulated boxes. If your delivery does not arrive on the 22nd, it will remain refrigerated until delivery on the 23rd. Items left on a porch or with a neighbour remain safely chilled in their box for up to 48 hours, even in warm weather &#8211; the current sub-zero temperatures also help!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can <a title=\"Check Order Status\" href=\"..\/..\/orderstatus.php\">check your order status<\/a> online. Using the <strong>\u201cView Order Status\u201d <\/strong>form, enter your email address and the order number from your emailed receipt.<\/p>\n<p>We apologise for this change in the delivery schedule. We strive to give you a choice of delivery dates for your convenience with every order and to deliver exactly as you wish. The weather conditions have made delivery logistics this year particularly difficult, and we&#8217;re sorry that has impacted on our customers. We know your food order is the centrepiece of your family&#8217;s Christmas meal, and are committed to making sure every single order is delivered. We hope you&#8217;ll agree that in the case of Christmas, a day early is vastly better than the alternative, and thank you for your understanding.<\/p>\n<p><em>With best wishes,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pat Whelan<\/strong><br \/>\nJamesWhelanButchers.com<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed reading this post by Pat Whelan of James Whelan Butchers.
