Delivery notification and tracking

You will be emailed a tracking number and link when your order is dispatched. The tracking link will let you know which courier has been assigned to your parcel.

The DHL tracking link gives live tracking data together with an estimated delivery day. Please use the link to amend your delivery day or to advise on a safe place or a neighbour with which to leave your parcel.

The Royal Mail tracking link only updates once delivery is attempted.

Please use the tracking link and email contact@FODMarket.com if you have not received your order four days after it was dispatched.

If you are not home when the driver calls to deliver your parcel and you have not updated your delivery instructions, then the driver could attempt to leave your parcel with a neighbour or at your nearest drop off shop. If left at a shop, you will be required to collect your parcel from the shop within 7 days, after which it will be returned to FODMarket. 

(Note: If nobody is home when the driver calls, frozen orders will usually be left at your delivery address in a place the driver deems safe. Please get in touch if you are not sure where the delivery driver has left your order.)
