At Peter Augustus Craft Butchers, we take great care to ensure every order is packed, stored, and delivered to the highest standards. Because we sell perishable food products, returns and refunds are handled slightly differently from non-food retail.
This policy applies to all online orders.
For food safety and hygiene reasons, we do not accept physical returns of perishable items once they have left our control.
However, we fully stand behind the quality of our products and will provide a refund or replacement when appropriate.
The product arrives damaged
The product arrives spoiled
The product arrives incorrect

The product arrives out of temperature

These are classified as defective items.
We accept returns within 1 day of delivery if you verify us with:
Your order number
A description of the issue
Clear photos of the item and packaging
Once verified, we will provide either:
A full or partial refund, or
A replacement item sent at no charge

Poultry
Seafood
Chilled or frozen goods
