Where necessary contact us to locate your goods if there is an issue.

Chocolate Products

We understand our climate can be quite unpredictable at times, this means shipping our blends that contain chocolates can be challenging. There are a few options you can consider to help undesirable melting, we can hold your order in our temperature controlled facility until it is cooler. If you can’t wait, you may wish to consider another product that does not contain chocolate. Please see Hot Weather Policy for more information.

Re-direction fees

Re-direction fees may apply if you change your delivery address after your order has been placed or if the delivery address you have entered is incorrect, invalid or otherwise cannot be delivered to. To help us to reach you, please enter the delivery address carefully to ensure it is correct before placing your order.

If no one is available to accept delivery

When you place your order online, you will also be given the option to allow permission for the order to be left at the address in a safe place out of direct sunlight in the event that no one is there to receive it. If your order contains chocolate products, we advise choosing an address where there is someone who can accept delivery of the order.

Quality Promise

Why should I buy my nuts from SCB?

We have gone to great lengths to source our produce from Australian growers and suppliers. If you have not tasted our nuts before you may be missing out of the true flavour and richness of a real nut!

Our boutique business prides itself on providing quality produce. Unlike mainstream nuts, our nuts and blends are stored in a temperature controlled environment, packed daily and dispatched soon after.

This means our prices might be a little higher, but we won’t compromise quality for price.

Why do the prices fluctuate?

Our nuts come from real farms, this means they experience different conditions from time to time. We will do our best to stay consistent with our prices, as you know, we can’t predict what the weather will do.

Online Returns Policy?

Due to food hygiene and safety laws, we are unable to accept returns, exchanges or refund based on a change of mind, so please choose carefully when ordering. We are more than happy to help if you need some help choosing between our products. For more information about our returns policy, please see our Shipping & Returns.

Are your products gluten free?

We have a range of products made using gluten-free ingredients. Did you know nuts are naturally free from gluten, as is the chocolate in our blends. With this in mind, we do stock some products that are not gluten-free and these are stored and crafted on the same premises. We make every effort to limit contamination, but we cannot guarantee that traces of gluten will not be present in our products. Our team can help with ingredient details so please ask for the information.

Please see Allergen Alert Policy for more information.

I am a Vegan, do you have any products for me?

Our range of products are naturally vegan, eg: nuts, glazed nuts, dried fruit, seeds. For those who like our chocolate, it is not dairy free.

The ingredients for each product is listed in the product information section.
