Because our products contain perishable food items (such as cheese, charcuterie and other chilled produce), they are exempt from the usual 14-day cooling-off period under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
This means that once your order has been dispatched, we are unable to accept returns or offer refunds for unwanted items.

Damaged, Faulty or Missing Items

We take great care to ensure your order arrives in perfect condition. However, if your box arrives damaged, faulty, or incorrect, please contact us within 24 hours of delivery so we can put it right.

Please email customerservice@cheeseriot.co.uk with:

Your order number

Photographs of the issue (packaging and product)

A brief description of what’s wrong

We’ll review and, where appropriate, offer a replacement or refund in line with our obligations under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Delivery Delays

We work closely with our delivery partners to ensure your cheese arrives chilled and on time. Unfortunately, we cannot take responsibility for delays caused by circumstances beyond our control (such as courier network disruptions or adverse weather). If a delay has caused your order to arrive in unacceptable condition, please contact us as above.

Cancelling an Order

If you need to cancel your order, please do so before dispatch.
Once your order has been packed or shipped, we’re unable to process cancellations due to the perishable nature of the goods.

Subscriptions

For Cheese Riot subscription boxes, you can pause, skip, or cancel your subscription at any time before your next billing date. Once payment has been taken and your order is being prepared, cancellation will apply to the following month’s delivery.

Refund Processing

Approved refunds will be issued to your original payment method within 5–10 working days.
