3. Password and security

4. Exclusion of services

The services provided by the www.alexmitchellbutchers.com website do not include the provision of computer or other necessary equipment or software to access the alexmitchellbutchers.com website. To use the alexmitchellbutchers.com site you will require Internet connectivity and appropriate telecommunication links. We shall not be liable for any telephone or other costs that you may incur.

5. Pricing

Where applicable, all our prices include VAT at the current rates. Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this website.

We always endeavour to provide you with consistency of cuts, weights and sizes. Since our butchers cut our meat by hand, they may have to cut slightly over or under your ordered weight in order to ensure you get the best quality. We have a fixed pricing method to determine the price of your order based on previous average weights and prices to ensure our customers are charged fairly.

Market prices may fluctuate, therefore, our prices are reviewed from time to time as we consider necessary.

By placing an order with us you agree and accept that the final cost of your order cannot be changed.

6. Ordering & Payment

You are deemed to place an order with us by completing our online checkout process. As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement, detailing the products you have ordered.

Our acceptance of an order takes place when you agree to our terms and conditions and submit the order and we receive payment confirmation from our Payment Gateway.

Please note:-

Prior to delivery - if your payment method is declined by our Payment Gateway, your order will not be accepted by us.

All offers are subject to availability and while stocks last
We may refuse to accept an order:

(a) where goods are not available;
(b) where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
(c) if there has been a pricing or product description error;

(d) if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions; or

(e) if you have previously refused or cancelled a delivery.

 

7. Delivery

You must ensure that either you or your representative, whom you authorize to sign on your behalf upon delivery of your order, is at your nominated delivery address at the start of the delivery time slot you selected.

If for any reason you or your representative is unable to be present at the agreed delivery address and time slot, you must contact our online ordering department by email at sales@alexmitchellbutchers.com before 5pm on the day before delivery, or by telephone on 01592 771457 by 10am on the day of delivery, otherwise your order will be dispatched to you.

If we are unable to deliver to you, due to you or your representative not being present or available at the agreed delivery time slot and address, we reserve the right to withhold a non-refundable failed delivery fee, and full value of your order.

Please note that delivery is only completed when your order is handed over to you or your representative in person by us and signed for. This means that we are unable to leave your order anywhere else, for example in a garage or wheelie bin etc.  However, if you request for your fresh order to be put in what you class as a 'safe place', (behind the gate, side of house, in porch, etc) then Alex Mitchell Butchers will not accept any liability. 
A delivery charge may apply to your order, depending on your postcode and value of your order. The charge is subject to any special offer we may apply and may change at any time.

On the occasion that severe weather is adversely affecting local van deliveries, you may be required to collect your order at our shop in Glenrothes.

We cannot guarantee that your order will arrive in your requested delivery slot due to unforeseen circumstances such as road closures, adverse weather etc. In the event that this happens we will contact you to discuss the situation.

Refusal to accept your order upon delivery, whether in the original requested delivery slot or otherwise, will result in the full order amount still being charged to your account. Similarly, cancellation of your order in accordance with the terms, below, will result in the full order amount still being charged to your account.

If you have chosen a collection slot for Christmas then it will be seperate from any shop order and will be collected from our production unit in the Fife Food and Business Centre. We will be in touch to arrange a timeframe on your selected date. 

8. Cancellation and returns policy

if you are a local van delivery you must phone the shop on 01592 771457 before 10 am on the day prior to your agreed delivery day.
