Greetings!

Hope this finds you and your families well.

What a crazy time it's been with the economy. Unfortunately for us being importers, the decimation of the Australian dollar has been very unwelcome indeed. As a result, prices on some products will be increasing, all details are below.

On a brighter note, we are very excited to be able to bring the Enjoy Life Foods brand to Australia. Enjoy Life are the largest allergen-friendly manufacturer in the USA and produce a wonderful range of cookies, snack bars & even dairy/gluten/soy/nut/egg free chocolate bars! I'm sure you are going to love their products, which will be available in a few week's time. Stay tuned and check the website for all details

Shopping Trolley

It's been great to see so many of you taking advantage of the new online shopping trolley.

Once you have ordered from us, your credit card details are kept on file and can be used for future orders. Please be assured these are kept locked in a safe here in hardcopy, and are not stored on a computer.

Of course you can still pay by direct deposit or cheque/money order as well. We hope that the trolley is a quick and convenient way for you to order, so if you haven't already tried it have a look next time you're on the site.

DariFree pricing

Unfortunately due to the wild decline of the Australian dollar, the cost of DariFree has risen over 30% in the past few months. We can no longer absorb all of these increased costs and regret that we will have to increase pricing on the DariFree products.

For one week only, until end of business on Monday 20th October, existing customers can order at current pricing (max 1 case). If you are ordering online, I will adjust the pricing for you here prior to charging your card.

New pricing has been updated on the website.
