Delivery Information
Order Processing:
At Fit And Fat LTD, we are committed to ensuring that your orders are processed efficiently and expediently. Orders that are received by 2:00 PM are processed on the same working day, which allows us to begin the dispatch process quickly. Orders placed after the 2:00 PM cutoff time are processed on the next working day. This structured approach helps us maintain a consistent workflow and enhances our ability to manage orders effectively.
Please note that if you order on Friday after 2:00 PM, Saturday, or Sunday, your order will be sent on Monday (excluding bank holidays).
Please be aware that our delivery estimates are calculated from the date of dispatch, rather than the date of purchase. This method allows us to provide you with more accurate delivery timelines. We believe in maintaining transparency with our delivery processes, ensuring you receive clear and precise information about when to expect your order. This clarity is crucial, particularly during busy periods or when external factors such as weather or logistic issues might impact delivery times.
We endeavor to keep you informed at every step of the order and delivery process, reinforcing our commitment to exceptional customer service and reliability.
