Welcome to Strathpeffer Sweet Company terms and conditions. These terms and conditions apply to the use of Strathpeffer Sweet Company and the selling of products to you subject to the conditions set out below.

Please take a moment to have a look at the following terms and conditions to ensure that you are happy with the service we provide. Please note that any person using and ordering from our website is deemed to understand and accept our terms and conditions.
Our aim at Strathpeffer Sweet Company is to get your sweets to your door as soon as is possible and in the best manner possible. All orders are sent out within 48 hours, (usually within 24 hours) of receipt by the quickest and cheapest postal method and should arrive to you within 2-3 working days from date of postage but cannot guarantee this during busy periods and seasonal fluctuations. Please note orders placed after midnight on Friday will be posted after the weekend, due to postal services not working weekends.
Strathpeffer Sweet Company only sends out the best quality products to their customers that are well within their best before date. However, we cannot accept responsibility for deterioration caused by climatic conditions or transportation once the goods have left our premises.
We will deliver the products ordered by you to the delivery address provided. It is however your responsibility to provide us with accurate delivery information as we will not check or verify addresses and messages supplied by you.
We stock a huge range of sweets from many different manufacturers. This means we cannot guarantee that our products are free of nuts or nut traces.
In line with our environmental commitments, we will choose the most minimal packaging to send your order without compromising presentation or affecting the quality of the sweets.
If you are ordering from the UK mainland, we will deliver via Second Class Royal Mail for orders under 2kg. Royal Mail 2nd Class delivery aim is from the 3rd working day.
If you order over 2kg we send all our parcels with a courier company which they aim to deliver within 2-3 working days. If you require a parcel urgently, please contact us via email or telephone and we will endeavour to fulfil your order subject to timescales (please note extra postage may be required).
If you live in the Scottish Islands & Highlands, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Sicily Isles or the Isle of Man, we do not offer any courier service. Instead, we offer 1st and 2nd Class Royal Mail. Please note that parcels to these areas may take longer than Royal Mail’s recommended timescale.
Whilst items sent by Royal Mail usually arrive after 3 working days of dispatch from us, Royal Mail states that only items still not delivered after 15 working days can be officially classified as lost. If the products are not delivered within the estimated delivery time, please contact us.
We cannot guarantee a specific delivery timescale unless you get in contact with us by email or telephone.
For International deliveries, it is necessary to calculate the volumetric weight of a package, i.e. when the space a package occupies may cost more than the package’s actual weight. This is usually the case when a very light package is shipped in a large carton for example, as our checkout does not allow for this, if your orders volumetric weight exceeds it’s actual weight then we will require payment of the additional shipment charge, before your International order is dispatched.
If the products you receive are not what you ordered, defective or the incorrect quantity, please contact us and we will then correct your order.
For example:
Make good any shortage or non-delivery
Supply and deliver substitute goods
Replace any defective goods
Refund or do a partial refund at our own discretion
Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any damage caused through postage such as climatic conditions affecting the product. We make sure that all items are in perfect condition before they are sent to you. If your parcel does arrive in a poor condition, please contact us.

Allergy Advice & Ingredients
All customers should be aware that unfortunately all of the sweets offered on the store are manufactured and packaged in environments where nuts may be present and therefore Strathpeffer Sweet Company cannot guarantee that any sweets supplied are free of nuts and nut traces.
We try our best to provide ingredients information on all of our sweets however, on some occasions, we may not include this information. If you require ingredients on any specific items, then please send a request to us. Please note that ingredients provided are those from manufacturers’ packaging and lists and Strathpeffer Sweet Company cannot be held responsible for their content. Strathpeffer Sweet Company reserves the right to use alternative manufacturers for all sweets on offer and therefore cannot guarantee that the ingredients listed will match exactly those sent previously. Strathpeffer Sweet Company only sources the highest quality sweets to provide you with the best tasting treats.
Strathpeffer Sweet Company work with a large number of traditional UK confectionery suppliers to ensure that we can provide the quality, value and range everybody wants. There are times an item or two will be unavailable and should this situation occur, we will contact you to confirm when the item will be restocked and sent out/or offer a substitute for something similar. If no similar item to the sweet can be found then we will contact you and ask if you would like the rest of your order dispatched and the missing item(s) sent once in stock (at no extra postage costs), or if you would like us to hold back your order until everything is ready.
Strathpeffer Sweet Company may also choose to cancel any sale and not supply products if it is reasonable to do so and may change or discontinue the availability of products at any time at its discretion. If an order is cancelled, any payment made for the products will be refunded in full. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
