Shipping & Packaging
Delivering Your Sausages: Our Shipping & Packaging Promise
At Michael's Sausage Shop, we believe the quality of our delivery should match the quality of our produce. That is why we have partnered with Chilled Packaging to ensure your order arrives in pristine condition.
Their specialist thermal systems are rigorously validated to keep fresh meats below +5°C during transit, guaranteeing that our sausages reach you with the same freshness as when they left our counter.
We are also proud to utilise their 'NiceCube' and 'Cube-Bee' ranges—innovative, high-performance packaging solutions that are 100% recyclable. This allows us to offer you industry-leading food safety while minimising our environmental impact.
Our Commitment to Sustainable Packaging
We believe that great food shouldn't come at the expense of the planet. That's why we've invested in the best sustainable packaging to protect your order:
100% Recycled: Our insulated packaging is constructed entirely from 100% recycled materials.
100% Recyclable: Everything we use, including the box, liners, and ice packs, is 100% recyclable. Please help us complete the cycle by responsibly disposing of the packaging after you've enjoyed your sausages!

Our Courier: DPD
Speed and Reliability: We use DPD for their commitment to next-day delivery (once dispatched), ensuring the fastest possible journey for our perishable goods.
Enhanced Customer Service: We specifically use their chilled delivery network to maintain the quality and freshness of your sausages from our shop right to your door.

A Note on Shipping Costs
Premium Courier Service: We use a specialist, chilled overnight courier (DPD) to guarantee freshness and offer highly convenient delivery slots—a service that costs more than standard parcel delivery.
Sustainable, High-Quality Packaging: Our commitment to 100% recycled and recyclable packaging means using materials that are often a higher cost than conventional, less sustainable options.
We believe that guaranteeing a fresh, delicious product and making an environmentally responsible choice is worth the small extra investment. Thank you for supporting our commitment to quality and the planet!
