ONCE YOUR OLIVES ARRIVE
When your olives and antipasti arrive, please put them in the fridge as soon as possible to ensure shelf life and freshness.
We want every order to arrive in perfect condition, so if it ever doesn’t, we want to put it right. Every order is packed with care, so if there are ever any issues when it arrives, please email us within 24 hours — we’ll do everything we can to make it right, and as quickly as possible.
Has your order has been damaged during transit?
We’re sorry if something hasn’t arrived as it should – all we need is a few details to get this resolved for you.
Email shop@therealolivecompany.co.uk within 24 hours of delivery with your order number, a brief description of the damage and these four separate photos:
- The damaged product(s) – A clear close-up showing the exact damage to the product(s) itself.
- External packaging – A photo showing the outside of the box/bag (e.g any dents, tears, or crushes).
- Internal packaging – A photo showing how the item was cushioned inside the box (e.g. foam corner protectors, air pockets).
- The parcel label – A clear, readable photo of the shipping label attached to the external packaging.
Without this photographic evidence, we cannot process a claim — which may prevent us from issuing a refund or replacement.
Our packaging is fully recyclable, including the delivery box.
If you have any other questions, email shop@therealolivecompany.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help.
