A1 Coffee Delivery Information
It is possible you may experience a short delay with the delivery of your order. We will get your goods to you as quickly as possible.
We use DPD & APC couriers, Royal Mail and pallet carriers. They are all reporting record volumes of parcels and this is sometimes causing delays.
Where do you deliver to?
** PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR COURIER PARTNERS ARE TEMPORARILY UNABLE TO MAKE DELIVERIES OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. THEREFORE, DELIVERY OPTIONS TO THE IRISH REPUBLIC & MAINLAND EUROPE HAVE BEEN REMOVED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE **
The rates for deliveries to Scotland are based on postcodes as we use a national courier for all deliveries. You will be asked to confirm your postcode at the checkout and the rate will be calculated in your shopping basket. Most Scottish postcodes are classed as lowlands by our couriers except for those in Highlands, Islands and some outlying areas where they charge a higher rate.
What are your delivery rates?
With the exception of some specified items that are delivered free, and some small lightweight items that are delivered at a discount price, our delivery prices are flat rates and don’t increase with the weight of the order. Most regions qualify for free delivery when your shopping basket reaches a certain value, as follows:

Is there anything else I should know?
We use a national courier service for all our deliveries. Deliveries are not made on Bank Holidays. Most deliveries require a signature, so please ensure the delivery address is one where a delivery can be accepted. We are unable to leave goods outside unattended premises unless you expressly request this by email or on the order itself.
Please also bear in mind that we are coffee distributors and not couriers. We pride ourselves on our service, and while that means that we dispatch within 24 hours on a next business day service, the deliveries themselves are obviously outside of our control and are subject to variations in weather conditions, localised traffic issues or other factors that could disrupt the service they provide to you. We are therefore not responsible for any such delay or consequential loss, but we will of course track your order and do everything in our power to both keep you informed and liaise with the courier to help get your consignment delivered on time.
Please read the delivery terms and conditions in our store policies page for detailed information. If you have any queries concerning your order, please do not hesitate to contact us. We work closely with our courier partners to ensure the best possible delivery service to all destinations while keeping the prices as low as possible.
