Bulk orders via Big Chill: If your order is large it may be considered a bulk order and will need to be sent via chilled freight, Big Chill Distributors, rather than overnight courier.
We will contact you if your order needs to travel via Big Chill, as you will be required collect your order from the nearest Big Chill Depot.
