Crocks & Pot's Trading Policy

Quality

We strive to source and supply the best quality kitchen equipment money can buy. A one off sale is not what we seek. We want you to be pleased, come again and recommend your friends.

Dispatch Time & Delivery

For 'standard delivery' we handle our orders on a weekly order book basis; place your order before close of business on Friday and it will be processed and dispatched the following week. If we are not going to dispatch your order that week we will confirm receipt of your order and advise you of the likely dispatch time.
Additionally we may be able to offer enhanced delivery options such as 'Next Day' or 'Specific Day' which are detailed at our checkout.
We dispatch either by the conventional postal system or by courier, depending on the size and content of your order.
