Product-related questions

What is the best-before date of the offered products?

It is difficult to answer this question as each product has a different best-before-date (BBD).

You are welcome to call our customer service (09433-2041-3300) and ask for the BBD of your desired products. Our customer service wil be happy to tell you the BBDs of the products that are on stock at this moment.

Unfortunately, we are dependent on the manufacturers and an early delivery and sadly we only have limited influence on the products and their BBDs. For our chilled products we always pay close attention that their best before date is at least 10 days. Please also note that some of our products are manufactured in a gentle freshness procedure, thus they are already delivered to us with short BBDs by the manufacturer. Therefore, the life period may possibly be less than 7 days from dispatch.

Is there a recycling system for ice packs and thermo boxes?

We of course offer a recycling program. You can dispose of the gel packs in your household garbage, and you can dispose of the insulating elements as a whole in the paper waste. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and the hygiene measures we are not allowed to take back the gel packs.

Are there product ratings by other customers?

Yes, there are. Each product can be rated by you and other customers. You can find those ratings underneath the descriptions of each product. There you can rate the taste, consistency, nutrition, and the product description in our shop. This does not only help other customers, but it also helps us to evaluate, expand and plan our assortment.

Why are not all products organic / fair trade?

Our product range consists of about 40% organic and/or fair trade products. Some products are not certified as organic and/or fair trade because such certifications are very laborious and expensive. Therefore, many manufacturers/ suppliers go abstain from such certifications even though their standard of raw material production is the same and would often meet the necessary criteria. However, in general we always make sure if and how our producers and suppliers grow/ harvest/ process their raw materials/ products. We pay close attention that these are not purchased on the world market but that everything from purchase to farming is traceable and that it is ethically, morally and ecologically acceptable for us. Of course we are constantly working on offering an increasing number of our products also in organic and fair trade quality in the future!

Why does velivery.com offer products with palm oil?

Unfortunately, velivery.com has no influence on products of other manufacturers. However, in order to offer our customers high-quality products, preferably without palm oil, we are constantly in contact with our manufacturers. Many manufacturers though will continue to be dependent on this raw material, since it has certain unique qualities other oils do not have. At present, there is no alternative that is more environmentally friendly. Some companies even invest large sums every year in projects to support sustainable cultivation of palm trees and commit themselves to stop deforestation and slash-and-burn clearing of endangered forests and countries.

We also are in close contact with our suppliers trying to bring them to certificate their products and to use alternatives to palm oil. In order to facilitate your search in our shop for products without palm oil, we offer you the possibility to use our product and allergy filter. With this filter you can exclude products containing palm oil from your search results.

How do you ensure that I don’t receive any out-of-date products – including those on special offer?

When it comes to the use-by-dates of our products, we always go by the date of shipping, not the order date. For example, if you order refrigerated products on a Thursday and these are not sent out on the Friday – we don’t send out any refrigerated goods on a Friday because of the weekend – and only on the Monday, we don’t take these goods out of refrigeration until Monday either. As a result, the shelf-life starts from this date, the date of shipping.

In some exceptional cases this may result in some specific short-expiry-date offers no longer being available. In these cases we will refund you the money for these items. Regardless of this you will only be sent goods with sufficient time left until expiry. So don’t hesitate to take advantage of our short-expiry-date deals too!
