SHIPPING, DELIVERY & PICKUP
At Parker’s, our goal is simple: to bring the very best of our Great British Institution to as many customers across the USA as possible — safely, quickly, and in perfect condition.
Holiday Last-Order Dates
We’re Now Shipping More Days
To make delivery quicker (especially through the holiday season), we’ve expanded our dispatch window. This means your parcel may now arrive on a Saturday, depending on your shipping option and FedEx’s local schedule.
We’re doing our very best to get orders moving quickly and safely - and this added flexibility helps ensure your British favourites reach you in top condition.
Thanksgiving Delivery Update
If you need your order in time, please choose Express shipping at checkout to guarantee dispatch in time.
We’re now in the window where orders placed with Priority, Free Shipping & Standard Shipping will most likely not arrive before Thanksgiving.
We’re working flat out to get as many parcels out as possible this week, but any orders we’re unable to dispatch before the holiday will ship w/c 1st December.
Thanks for your patience — and for choosing a proper taste of home.

Free Shipping
We’re delighted to cover the cost of delivery when you order over $150 (mainland USA).
Simply select Free Shipping at checkout.
Hawaii & Alaska:
Free shipping applies on orders over $200. Due to high frozen-delivery costs, the threshold is slightly higher — but parcels to paradise still arrive in about 2 days after dispatch.
Important Notes:
-
Standard / Free Shipping may take up to 5 business days to dispatch.
-
West Coast orders (including Nevada) dispatch Monday or Tuesday only to avoid weekend delays.
-
Our PolarPack cool boxes ensure everything arrives safely, even if not fully frozen.
Is It Safe to Refreeze?
Yes — as long as it’s cold on arrival.
Per USDA guidance, food kept at or below 40°F (4°C) is safe to refreeze, even if partially thawed.
Do not consume or refreeze anything that is:
-
warm
-
spoiled
-
unusually soft
-
leaking
-
giving off an odour
Please contact us within 24 hours if something doesn’t look right.
Damaged Items
If any vacuum-sealed item arrives unsealed or damaged:
-
Take a photo
-
Contact us within 24 hours
-
Discard the affected item
We cannot accept liability for improper storage after delivery.
Please ensure you have adequate freezer space before your parcel arrives.
Shipping Restrictions
-
We cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes (FedEx does not service them).
-
Please use a residential or business address.
How We Pack Your Order
Every order ships inside a high-density, food-grade cooler with:
-
Icepacks
-
Dry ice pellets
-
Insulated Styrofoam walls
Dry ice evaporates naturally during transit, so an empty space in the cooler is completely normal.
Bread Products:
Most bread items ship ambient, not frozen. Perfectly safe — freeze on arrival if desired.
Reuse & Recycle:
Our coolers are reusable and recyclable. Brilliant for picnics or keeping groceries cold.
