DELIVERIES & PICK UP:
Deliveries to Melbourne inner city and inner southeastern suburbs are hand delivered by BLAKEAWAY delivery drivers. For deliveries outside of our range we have partnered with Be Cool Refrigerated Services, one of Australia’s largest delivery providers. Delivery ETA notifications and updates are sent via text message.
Our insulated 'disco boxes' are fully recyclable and can remain out of refrigeration for up to 2hrs upon delivery. We recommend refrigerating the items as soon as possible after delivery as we cannot guarantee the integrity of the food if left out longer than 2hrs.
Please make sure correct address & phone number of the recipient is supplied, we cannot be responsible for errors with delivery if the incorrect information is provided. Available delivery windows will automatically show during checkout and are based on post codes.
Gift Hampers and gift orders for delivery are sent in our sturdy ‘disco boxes’.

Our affectionately named ‘disco boxes’ used for home deliveries can be placed in your regular recycling. Our food packaging with the ‘grounded’ logo at the bottom can be composted. If it doesn’t have this logo it can be re-cycled with your soft plastics. The branded sticker can be removed and placed in your paper recycling. Paper trays can be recycled in your paper recycling bins. Foil trays can be rinsed off and recycled in your recycling bin. Our Blakeaway shopping bags can be kept and reused or returned in good condition to one of our Blakeaway stores. Any glass cocktail bottles or condiment jars can be recycled in your home glass recycling bin. We are working towards being as close to zero waste as possible while working within the restrictions of what is available. Unfortunately, no one has developed a compostable pouch for wet products just yet.
