Ordering with us

​

By placing an order with The Alternative Cracker Company, you agree to accept the terms and conditions set out herein. If you would like to discuss any of our terms and conditions, please contact us by emailing hello@thealternativecrackercompany.com or calling 07930 945450 and we’ll be happy to help.

​

In order to process your order, you will be asked for your name, phone number, email address and debit or credit card details.  All of these details can be supplied as a ‘guest’ so that it is not necessary to set up an account with us in the first instance.  We would advise however that you take a few minutes to set up an account in order that you can make the most of features such as seeing lists of previous orders to make re-ordering quicker, changing personal & contact details and creating wish lists for products you like.  Please note, your telephone number may be passed onto our couriers in case they need to contact you regarding the delivery of your parcel.

​

Payment for your order will be taken at the time you place the order and an email will be sent to you shortly after you place your order. This email will confirm the details of your order but confirmation that your order has been accepted by us will not be fulfilled until you receive your parcel from us.

​

Very occasionally we may be unable to fulfil your order. This may be due to an item being out of stock, your payment not being authorised, incorrect pricing or product details being identified, the terms and conditions not being met and circumstances beyond our control that affect the delivery of your order.  Where this is the case, we will make contact with you at our earliest opportunity and endeavour to find a satisfactory solution for all which may include rearranging a delivery date, offering you an alternative or providing a refund.    

​

The Alternative Cracker Company takes every reasonable step possible to ensure all of your details are kept secure at all times; however we cannot accept responsibility should, despite our best efforts, you experience a loss as a result of a third party obtaining access to these details without our permission.  Please refer to our Privacy & Security Policy for more information.

​

If you choose to set up an account with us, we will add your details to our mailing list.  We hope that you will be happy to receive our mailings; however should this not be the case at any point in the future, please let us know and we will remove your details from our list immediately. If you have received an email from us, you will always have the option to unsubscribe from future emails.

​

We want you to be delighted with your order but if for any reason after checking the items you are not happy, or the items are damaged or faulty, please see below or refer to our FAQs where there will be more information to help you.  

​

You may receive more than one package from us, even if all items were placed on one order, as some products will be delivered directly by the supplier.

​

Product Descriptions & Pricing

​

The purchase of any product on our site is subject to both the product description and the details contained therein and our generic sales terms and conditions. 

​

We set out to describe our products and list our prices as accurately as possible so that you know what to expect from your purchase.  Occasionally however, despite our best intentions, there may be times when the details online or on printed material are not exactly as they should be at the time you place your order. Furthermore our product descriptions and images are there to help you make your purchase only.  They do not constitute part of the agreement between us and we are unable to accept responsibility for any consequences as a result of any omissions or inaccuracies whether online or printed.  In particular, due to the differences in colour on various devices and individual user settings we are unable to accept any responsibility for any colour variations between our website/printed material and the product itself although we are confident the colour match will be very close.

 

Should there be an error with the price of an item you have ordered and prior to it being delivered, we will contact you to see whether you would like to continue with the purchase at the correct price or require a refund in full.

 

 

Orders Not Received

In the unlikely event you do not receive your parcel from us, please call or email our office within 5 days of the expected delivery date.  We will check the whereabouts of the parcel however should we be advised that the parcel has been delivered we will require you to complete a form to confirm the parcel was not received which must be returned to us within 5 days for us to arrange another parcel to be sent out.

​

 

Returning an item that is faulty or damaged

​

If you receive a parcel that is faulty or damaged please let us know straight away so we can arrange a replacement, exchange or refund for you but if that’s not possible please ensure you do so within 7 days of receiving the item.

​

​

Returning an order under the terms of the Consumer Contracts Regulations
