Delivery
Here at Jones the Butcher, we aim to provide you with the best quality and service possible. We use national couriers to deliver your chilled order, which is securely packed in our technologically advanced chilled boxes with highly advanced iced gel packs to keep your goods cool for 24hours.
Standard Delivery
Standard delivery is charged at the following rates:
For orders under £100: Standard delivery £12 (including VAT)
For orders over £100: FREE DELIVERY
Standard delivery is to one address in the UK mainland, Tuesday to Friday inclusive. Surcharges may apply to delivery to more than one address, or delivery outside the UK mainland.
Delivery schedule
Your order will normally be delivered on day 4 (order day 1, prepare day 2, collection day 3, delivery day 4... not including weekends). However, you are able to specify a day that suits you (any day from Tuesday to Friday inclusive) by writing in the 'delivery instructions' box on the checkout page.
Your order will be delivered any time between 8.30am and 5.30pm on day 4 or on the day that you have specified. Unfortunately it is not possible to stipulate a time for delivery, it is therefore essential that, when ordering, you provide instructions for the courier, should you happen to be out when your goods are delivered. Again, please write in the 'delivery instructions' box on the checkout page. This could be an alternative delivery address such as a neighbour, or safe place to leave your box such as a patio or garage.
When ordering, you can also arrange delivery to your workplace, or to a neighbour or friend if it's more convenient, at no extra charge.

Jones the Butcher packaging
At Jones the Butcher, we have pioneered new ways of packaging your top quality meat to ensure it arrives with you in perfect condition.
Vacuum packing
We use professional vacuum packing machines to extract all the air from your packs of meat. Vacuum packing is preferred by top chefs because:
It's the natural way to keep your meat fresher for longer
It prevents juices from escaping so it keeps your meat succulent
Vacuum packed products take up very little room in your fridge or freezer
Our special packaging helps to protect your meat from knocks and freezer burn
The packs are clean and easy to handle
Our heavy grade vacuum packs are suitable for home freezing and thawing
Delivery packaging
Your order is made up the day before your requested delivery date and sent by overnight courier. Your order is placed in a strong, re-usable poly cool-box which prevents warming and protects your goods from knocks and bumps. High-tech gel ice packs are used to keep your goods cool until delivery. Independent tests have shown that our advanced poly-boxes and gel ice packs keep your order chilled during transit.
Please note that you goods will be delivered fresh (chilled) and will therefore be suitable for freezing on day of delivery.
