Why Casa Argentina Delivers Only to the UK Mainland?
We take pride in delivering authentic Argentinian food and drink to your doorstep, bringing the best of our heritage to food enthusiasts across the UK. However, we understand that some of our customers may wonder why our delivery service is currently limited to the UK Mainland. We want to explain the reasons behind this decision, ensuring complete transparency.
The Challenges of Shipping Perishable Goods
Many of our products, including fresh and frozen items, are perishable and must arrive at your door within 24 to 36 hours to maintain their quality and safety. This strict timeframe is essential to ensure that everything you receive is as fresh as intended. Meeting this requirement relies heavily on our courier partners, who have specific policies regarding the transportation of perishable goods.
Shipping Costs: Mainland vs non-Mainland Areas
Delivering to the UK Mainland allows us to partner with couriers who provide competitive rates for perishable goods.
The same cannot be said for deliveries to Northern Ireland, the Highlands, and smaller islands within the UK. Shipping to these areas often comes with significantly higher costs and extended delivery times. This makes it extremely challenging to guarantee the freshness of our products while keeping delivery charges reasonable for our customers.
The Complexities of E-Commerce Logistics
Running an e-commerce business that handles perishable goods comes with its own set of challenges. Shipping costs vary greatly depending on the region. Mainland delivery of this type of services (Perishables) is efficient and affordable, but deliveries to the Highlands, islands, or Northern Ireland can be extremely expensive. These logistical challenges are not unique to us; they are a common hurdle for many businesses offering fresh or frozen products in the UK.
Looking to the Future
While we currently deliver only to the UK Mainland, we are always exploring ways to expand our reach. Our goal is to find solutions that balance affordability and quality so that more customers, regardless of location, can enjoy the best of Casa Argentina in the future.
In the meantime, our priority remains delivering the highest-quality Argentinian products at the best value to areas where we can meet our standards of freshness and efficiency.
