EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PICKING UP AN ORDER ON THE 23RD AND 24TH

Can I collect my order outside of my chosen time block?

You can collect your order after your chosen time block has ended if you are running late. However, you cannot collect your order earlier than your chosen time block — it won’t have arrived yet.

Will your stores have items to purchase on the day?

Absolutely! All our stores will be jam-packed with as many goodies as we can fit. Please note: there will be no product holds.

I forgot which time block I selected — how do I find out?

No stress! Just search your email inbox for your confirmation email — it includes your chosen time.

Can we call up and put a product aside?

Unfortunately, we don’t accept phone holds for these dates. Our team will be busy — it’s best to come in and see what’s available.

Is the waiting line undercover?

Some stores have partial cover, but we recommend bringing an umbrella just in case!

How long will it take to collect my order?

Some time blocks are smaller than others. Please allow plenty of time just in case.

We’ll check over your order with you before you leave to ensure you have everything. This may add a few minutes, especially if you have a larger order.

How do I keep my bread fresh?

To freshen up our bread: run water over your unsliced loaf, wrap it in foil and place it in the oven at 150°C for 20–30 minutes.
