How much is delivery?

Our subscription boxes included all packaging and delivery via MailPlus in the subscription price (usually $25.00).

Do you deliver to Post Office Boxes?

Unfortunately we are not able to deliver to Post Office Boxes, all deliveries must be made to a physical address. Please provide instructions as to where the courier may leave your cheese in the event that no one is available to accept the delivery, as no signature is required at delivery. If no instructions are provided then the driver will leave your box in a place deemed safe and out of sight. On occasion a delivery driver may decide that it is unsafe to leave the box and then it will be taken to the closest Post Office.

When do you dispatch orders and how long will it take to get to me?

We aim for the cheese to get to you within 48 hours of being dispatched from Adelaide. Once your order has been picked ready for collection by our transport partner you will receive email notification, you will receive a tracking number. If you have purchased this subscription as a gift, we advise that you put the recipient's mobile phone number in the contact details section to enable them to receive the tracking details.

What do you pack your cheese in?

All our cheese is cut and wrapped specifically to your order to replicate the experience of coming to our store and ordering a piece of cheese. We do not pre-cut or cryovac your cheese (unless this is a product sold like this).  All of our deliveries are made in Thermogard packaging, including the carton, insulation and gel ice packs. Wood wool is used to protect the cheese during transit.

I am purchasing a gift; can I send a note with my order?

Yes, please include a personal note for your recipient. Our orders are not sent with the invoice so they are the perfect gift! Choose to give your subscription as a gift, which means auto billing will automatically terminate at the end of the gift period. 

How do I dispose of my packaging?

We are proud to use Thermogard to send our cheese to you. For more information please check out their website https://thermogard.com/recycle/.

The carton can be reused and is recyclable through your local council. Thermogard icepacks are reusable, and do not contain any chemical nasties or toxic ingredients. but when the time comes to dispose of your gel icepack, follow the simple instructions on their website. The insulated liner is Envirofoil and can be reused, or recycled with soft plastics.

How soon do I need to consume my cheese once I receive it?

Individual products will have their own best before dates; however we recommend that you eat all of your cheese within two weeks of receiving it or via the best before date should it be a short date cheese. We know it is unlikely that many will last this long! If you are unsure please feel welcome to ask us orders@smellycheese.co before or after any purchases.

My gel packs melted. Is my cheese still ok?

In the summer months it is likely that the gel packs will be fully melted by the time they arrive at your door. We, along with our packaging supplier, have temperature tested our packaging to make sure they keep the cheese safe (and delicious) within the two-day delivery. In the hot summer months, we use more gel packs and we may send your cheese in a foam box if you are in a remote location.

It is best to store your cheese in the fridge when it arrives to keep it lasting longer. When you’re ready to eat it, take it out and let it come to room temperature, this is always the best way to eat cheese! Accidents and delays do happen with shipping and we do our best to watch our system for these but please let us know at orders@smellycheese.com.au (with photos and a brief description) if your cheese arrived in a questionable state and we’ll work to find the situation immediately!
