Delivery

Stubbs Village Butchery guarantees that your meat will arrive at your door as if you have just purchased it in our shop. As soon as your meat order is cut it will be vacuum packed to ensure total freshness, no discolouration and no bacterial contamination. It is the oxygen in the air that discolours the meat, as well as causing both microbial spoilage & a chemical breakdown.

There are a couple of points to note when opening your vacuum packed meat:

1. the meat may be slightly darker in colour
2. the meat will have a slight odour when the packet is first opened.

These factors are due to a lack of oxygen to the meat caused by the vacuum packing.

Therefore remove the meat from the packet and leave it to breathe for 5 minutes and the odour will dissipate totally. This in no way affects the eating quality or taste of the meat. Each Packet will clearly state the product name and the use by date, please adhere to this if you are going to keep your vacuum packed meat in the refrigerator. If you should wish to freeze your meat upon receiving it, it is good to note that with it being vacuum packed it will lengthen its freezer life from 6 months up to 2 years. It will also eliminate freezer burn and when defrosted and it will retain its quality & freshness. Should the seal on the vacuum pack be faulty or appear to be damaged, we would suggest you do not eat the meat. If the seal is broken or damaged upon unpacking your meat please contact us immediately.

Handling and Packaging

Once your order is cut and then vacuum packed, it is placed in an insulated cooler box which will keep the produce at an optimum temperature for up to 24 hours. The insulated box will be sealed with a fabric tape, should this seal have been tampered with, we suggest that you contact us immediately. If your order is received by midday, our aim is to have it delivered to your door anywhere in the Auckland/Warkworth region by the next working day. You also have the option of collecting your order from the shop, so if you are coming through and heading to your holiday home, you can specify this on your order and we will have it ready for collection at the given time.

Freight/Shipping

Your order will be freighted with CourierPost. Should you not receive it within the 48 hour time frame please contact us immediately and we will track your order. Rural addresses and Post Office Boxes: Please note due to the nature of our product being perishable we are unable to deliver to rural addresses and Post office boxes due to the fact there is no guarantee with exact timeframe on when the package can be delivered. Therefore we would like to suggest you nominate an urban address from which to collect your order from, typically this could be your local general store or Post Shop.
