2. Check the estimated delivery date
You’ll find this date in your Order Confirmation email or by checking 'My Orders'.
Please remember that this date is an estimate, so your order may arrive before, on, or slightly after your estimated delivery date.
3. I'm still waiting for my order
Has your estimated delivery date already passed? Please give us a few extra days for your order to be delivered (especially during busy times)!
If your order doesn’t arrive, please get in touch with our support team within 30 days of your estimated delivery date, and we’ll do our best to help you.
Just one more thing...
We aim to meet our delivery promise, but delays and changes may happen – please see our Ts&Cs for more info.
We utilize a broad network of delivery partners and multiple couriers to ensure our customers receive their orders promptly! Partners are assigned based on the chosen delivery method and order value.
Orders in the UK normally undergo processing and dispatch within 1 to 3 business days, dependent on stock availability. Delivery durations post shipment are subject to variation, contingent on postal services and location.
For global shipments, the delivery window is 3 to 7 business days to accommodate cross-border challenges such as customs and postal service effectiveness. Please take this into account when ordering from abroad.
Additionally, any charges such as taxes and duties may be charged.
To provide a comprehensive product selection to our customers, some items may be stored in different warehouses.
When you look for your order, you’ll see a separate tracking number in ‘My Account’ to follow the progress of your parcel.
Don’t worry, no matter which warehouse your items are coming from, there'll be no additional delivery charges.
We apologize for your order not arriving yet. Kindly allow up to 10 days for it to reach our warehouse for processing. You will receive an email once the refund is processed, deducting the delivery charge.
Your order is likely to be sent back to BonChef for one of the following reasons:

- Our delivery partner was unable to access the address after several attempts.
- The delivery address was incomplete.
- The parcel was damaged in transit.
- The order was not collected from the pick-up point within the allocated timeframe of it being delivered.
If you’d still like the items and they’re still in stock, we recommend placing a new order to a delivery address that is easily accessible for our delivery partners.
We're sorry if you got an email saying one or more items you ordered are out of stock.

We're sorry if there's an item missing from your order. Here’s what could’ve happened:
- We may have sent your items in separate parcels. Please check your emails to see if any of your items will be arriving separately.
- The item you ordered may have been out of stock - it's worth checking your emails (including your junk/spam) to see if we've sent you an email about this.
- If you’ve placed multiple orders within a few days of each other that qualify for free delivery and are being shipped to the same delivery address, your orders may have been combined into one parcel. You’ll be able to see whether they’ve been shipped together if the tracking information for each of the orders you’ve placed is the same.
- If some of your items are being shipped from another warehouse, their delivery times may differ, so it's worth checking your expected delivery date and tracking in 'My Orders'.
If you’ve received all your parcels and something you ordered is missing, please get in touch with our Support team within 30 days of your order being delivered.
In most cases - no. Our turnaround times are typically very efficient, making it unlikely that adjustments can be accommodated promptly. If the shipping confirmation email has not yet been received, please contact us via email or phone and we will make an effort, but in the majority of instances, it is not feasible as the order is already in processing or has been dispatched.

Payment, Promos & Gifts
Retail Customers must pay for orders on Check Out.
Trade Customers can pay at Check Out and receive extra payment terms. BonChef will assess qualifying payment conditions on an individualized basis and notify customers of their eligible payment options.
Unfortunately, BonChef does not currently offer student discounts. We are however actively working on partnerships with universities and culinary schools to provide students and alumni with exclusive lifetime discounts at checkout. Students and Alumni must be registered and approved by BonChef before they can access these discounts.
Retail Customers can join our Slice & Share Programme to refer family and friends, earning benefits on their own and their referrals' orders. Become a member of our Slice & Share Programme to enjoy exclusive benefits for you and your referred contacts.
If your payment was declined, you'll need to reorder. Unfortunately, we can't restore an order after a declined payment.
To make sure your order isn't declined when placing a new order, we recommend checking the following:
- Examine the card details on your BonChef account to ensure the information is accurate, like the expiry date or your billing address.
- Double-check the security code entry - the three digit number on the back of your card.
- Your card issuer may have turned down your payment - as they do not disclose the reason, it would be helpful to contact them or your bank for clarification.
- If you've checked all of the above, try paying with another card.
If your payment has been declined through the 3D secure security measures you’ll need to contact your bank for further information.
Whereas, if you've received an error message, please contact our support team with as many details as you can about the issue - including the error messages you receive, and we'll try to resolve it as soon as we can.
If your credit account exceeds the limit or you fall behind on payments, BonChef may temporarily place your account on Hold until payments are made. To avoid any disruptions to your account, we recommend making payments on time and managing your credit limit effectively.
