How We Choose the Best Delivery Service for Your Snacks

When you order crisps, sweets or snacks from us, you want two things:

  1. To actually get what you paid for.
  2. To get it quickly and without unnecessary hassle.

Fair enough. We want exactly the same thing.

That’s why at Snacks Online, we don’t believe in blindly sticking with one courier forever just because that’s how we’ve always done it.

Prices change. Services change. Couriers improve. Couriers occasionally have a shocker.

So we keep reviewing the options and use the delivery services that make the most sense for the parcel being sent.

Why We Use More Than One Courier

A small box of sweets and a huge, heavy case of crisps are completely different parcels.

There’s no good reason to pretend one courier is automatically the best choice for every order.

Depending on the size, weight and destination of your parcel, we may use different trusted UK delivery partners.

What matters to us is that your order is:

  • Tracked
  • Handled properly
  • Delivered reliably
  • Sent at a sensible cost

Free Delivery Should Still Be Good Delivery

Spend £15 or more and our Standard Tracked Delivery is FREE.

That doesn’t mean we simply throw your parcel at the cheapest courier we can find and hope for the best.

We look at the order, the available services and the destination, then select an appropriate tracked delivery option.

Alternative carriers and faster delivery services may also be available at checkout for an additional charge.

Yes, We’ve Changed Our Minds Before

If you’ve been around Snacks Online for a while, you may have noticed that we’ve had some fairly strong opinions about delivery companies over the years.

We may even have written a few things that have aged... interestingly.

But that’s business.

If a courier improves its service, offers better value or gives us a better way to get your snacks to you, we’re happy to change our mind.

We’d rather admit that something has improved than stubbornly keep paying more just to prove an old blog post right.

Things Change — And We Adapt

Delivery networks, prices and services are constantly changing.

So rather than promising that we’ll always use one particular courier, we’ll keep doing what makes sense:

Use reliable tracked services, keep delivery prices competitive and make sure your snacks get from our warehouse to your door.

No loyalty badges. No courier politics. Just sensible delivery.
