HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY ORDER TO ARRIVE?
Regular Order Information
Because your goodies are packed up right here at The Jam Shop in Berrima we take into account a little extra delivery time due to our rural location. In most cases orders will arrive within 5 days if you live in a central metropolitan location, but if you are a bit further out of town it could be more like 7-8 working days, so to make sure our bases are covered, we suggest ordering 10 working days ahead of time; that way there will be good news if your package happens to arrive earlier.
Delivery Instructions
Anyone at the delivery address that receives the order will be presumed by Hand Stirred Pty Limtied to be authorised to receive the goods. Please ensure accurate delivery address is provided, we do not take any responsibility for damage or loss of your order due providing the incorrect address.

We cannot confirm exactly when your goods will arrive but we strive to ensure our deliveries are dispatched promptly and will work with you /the courier company where necessary to locate your goods if there is an issue.
