The Smoked Salmon and Cheese Hamper

HOW LONG WILL SMOKED FISH KEEP?

Smoked salmon, trout, mackerel usually keep for at least three weeks as long as the pack is sealed and chilled in the refrigerator. This is due to the salting, smoking and vacuum packing of the fish (see also "How we smoke our salmon").

Consume by use-by date. Once opened consume within 3 days.
The use-by date format is DD/MM/YY. You can find the use-by date on the back of the vacuum packs.

THIS IS THE SHELF LIFE OF THE DIFFERENT CHEESES:

Burren Gold Gouda - 4 months from production
Cooleeney Classic - 6 weeks from production
Cratloe Hill Sheep Cheese - 3 months from production
Gubbeen Baby - 2 months from production

WHAT ARE THE DISPATCH DATES?
We send out our products on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays (except for Irish bank holidays). We strongly advise not to schedule deliveries for Fridays because we want to avoid that orders get held up in a depot over the weekend in case of a delay of delivery.

If you select a Friday delivery date, we cannot be held responsible for late deliveries.

We can never deliver on Mondays (or Mon & Tue for destinations that have a 48 hours delivery period, like for ex. USA), Saturdays nor on Sundays. Also no deliveries on bank holidays in the destination area.

WHAT DELIVERY SERVICES ARE BEING USED?
We use DPD for within the island of Ireland*, and UPS for destinations outside Ireland. Both UPS and DPD deliver door-to-door. The reason for sending it by courier is that postal services would not deliver within the required time.

* As our website can’t distinguish between Northern Ireland and UK, select "Ireland" as the delivery country in the checkout process, if you want an order to be sent to an address in Northern Ireland. This will save you freight costs. Then in the post code field, enter the Eircode V95 HD70 of the Burren Smokehouse. If required, enter Lisdoonvarna as the city/town as well. Make sure to enter the real delivery address details in the other address lines so that we know where to send the order. We will then manually change it to the right delivery address in our system.

HOW LONG WILL A DELIVERY TAKE?
For deliveries to Ireland and most countries of central Europe, shipments take 24 hours to arrive. For deliveries to countries further afield like the US, Japan, Canada it takes 48 hours. To the UK, some areas in Switzerland and islands, the delivery can take 2 days.

WHAT COUNTRIES DO YOU DELIVER TO?
We generally deliver to Ireland, UK, all European countries, the US, Canada, Japan and Hong Kong. We do not deliver to Australia nor New Zealand due to customs regulations.

Certain products are subject to restrictions as to where we can deliver them - see note above if applicable to this product.

The range of products you will see on our website always depends on the delivery country you have selected.

DO YOU DELIVER TO POST OFFICE BOXES?
We will not be able to use PO Box addresses. We will always need a physical address to be able to deliver to the recipient.

Also, we need a valid post code, zip code or Eircode (for destinations in the Republic of Ireland). We will not be able to process your order without one unless the destination country does not have a post code system (like Hong Kong).

HOW TO CALCULATE THE FREIGHT?
The freight costs depend on two variables: the destination and the weight. The first kilo is always the most expensive one, every following kilo to the same address gets charged at a lower rate.

Also, the weight is rounded up to the next full kilo (2.5 kg = 3 kg in shipping weight terms). See here for more information about freight. At the bottom of that page, you will find downloadable information on how to calculate the freight.
