1. How do I use the shopping online order method?| It is easy and virtually foolproof. Click on any one of our order pages and enter the quantities you wish to order for the items of your choice. Before going to another online page, click the Add to Shopping Cart button at the bottom of the page. To review your order at any stage, click the Review your Shopping Cart link at the bottom of any online order form. A list of the ordered items will appear in a new Shopping Cart page. The Shopping Cart page allows you to delete an item from your order if you change your mind, or you can increase/decrease the quantity for an ordered item. By clicking the Recalculate button on the Shopping Cart page, the (new) cost of your amended order will be displayed. The Shopping Cart page also has a Continue Shopping button allowing you to return to any of the online order pages and add more items before finalising your order. Once you are happy with the items and quantities displayed on the Shopping Cart page (= your order so far) , click the Go to Payments button. This will take you to a new page with a section called Invoice Details. Here you need to enter your details in all the required (= bold) fields. (Note: incomplete details will prevent you from going to the next step). If you plan to use the online order form for future shopping, tick the box Store Your Details for Future Purchases. (Note: you will need to tick the box Store Your Details for Future Purchases every time you place an online shopping order). Upon completion of this section, click Continue. This will take you to a new page that displays all the details of your online order and your delivery address, plus the payment options of Cash on Delivery, Electronic Transfer and Cheque. Tick the payment option of your choice and check that all the listed details are correct, then click Continue. If you selected the payment options of Cash on Delivery or Cheque, a new page will appear displaying Order Confirmation and an order number. If you selected the payment option of Electronic Transfer, a page will appear requiring the names of the financial institution and account holder, and the date you will transfer the money. An email confirmation with all details of your order will be generated automatically and sent to the email address which you entered in the earlier section. |
2. What quantities can I order?| For most suburbs a minimum order of a Gourmet Box ($40) or alternatively a customised order of $50 is required. For outer suburbs and country towns, this may be more. For details go to the Deliveries page. Quantities are expressed by weight (eg. potatoes, carrots) or per piece (eg. lettuce, mangoes, avocados). Some items can be ordered by weight or per piece (eg. tomatoes, bananas, oranges) and such items are listed twice (one field with a price per kg and a second field with a price per piece). An item should be ordered per piece (rather than per kg) if the required quantity is less than 0.5 kg. Make sure the quantity you enter in a field is expressed as a multiple/fraction of the unit listed next to that field. - Example: if you want to order 500g potatoes, you enter '0.5' in the field "kg of potatoes". If you write 500 in the field the cost will be calculated as 500kg of potatoes.

3. Can I change my mind and alter the groceries in the order form?| You can request a summary of your order at any stage in the shopping process by clicking Review Your Shopping Cart. The summary lists each item you have ordered up to that point and the quantity you have ordered. It shows the cost of each item and calculates the total cost of your order. If you want to delete an item from your online order or change the quantity of an item you have ordered, you can do so on the Shopping Cart page and you don't have to go back to the order page. Simply click the Recalculate button at the bottom of the Shopping Cart page. Make required amendments on the screen and then (don't forget to) click Recalculate at the bottom of the screen. The new list and total cost will appear. This is an excellent tool if you plan to shop to a budget or if you have made a mistake when entering the quantity for an item (eg. If you have accidentally ordered 500kg of potatoes instead of 0.5kg). To delete an item altogether, you simply write 0. If you wish to add more items to your order, click Continue Shopping and you will be returned to your Freshline Organics order page. |
4. What if I make a mistake in my shopping online order form?| Don't worry! Before you send/submit your online order, a complete summary of your order will appear on the screen. If you want to delete an item from your order or change the quantity of an item you have ordered, you can do so on the summary screen... ie. you don't have to go back to the order page. Simply make the required amendment on the screen and then (don't forget to) click Recalculate at the bottom of the screen. The new total cost will then appear. Similarly, your name, contact details and address for delivery will appear in the summary page. If there are any mistakes you can correct them at that point. If you forget to complete any of the essential fields, the online order form will alert you and will only accept the order after you have completed all required fields. Once your online order has been successfully submitted, you will receive an automatically generated email confirmation in which all the details of your online order are listed. In addition to this, we will contact our first-time customers by phone to confirm delivery and payment arrangements. |
5. Do you charge a delivery fee?| Yes. Deliveries to most metropolitan suburbs are charged at $7 (inner suburbs) and $9 (medium-range suburbs). For more details and information about minimum orders to outer areas, visit our Deliveries page. For country customers, the cost of freight/handling depends on the town's location and on the size of the order. The bigger the order, the lower the kilogram rates. The minimum freight/handling charge is $20. |
6. What is the quality of the produce I will receive?| As organic growers we are in a position to ensure our customers receive only the best and freshest produce grown by us. For fruit and vegetables which are supplied by organic wholesalers (such as tropical fruit), we are dependent upon what is available on the organic market. Customers shopping online can expect to receive the best available quality at all times. In the event that a customer finds an unsatisfactory item, we will gladly credit him/her with the corresponding amount toward the next order! However, for organic produce there is often a continuity of supply problem, particularly between October and December. Therefore it is inevitable that availability, quality and prices may fluctuate significantly from one week to the next. We are dependent to some degree upon our organic suppliers but as far as the quality of organic produce is concerned, we have our own certified organic farm and our customers receive only the best and freshest produce grown by us. |
7. What if something I've ordered is not available on the day?| We will recalculate the cost of your order and debit your credit card with the adjusted amount. In the event that a customized order falls below our minimum order, the unavailable item will be replaced with another item. |
8. How do I cancel my order?| f you need to cancel your order, you must do so in writing. Send us an email at least two days prior to the scheduled delivery (make sure you include your name and date of delivery). For written cancellations received at least 2 days prior to delivery there is no cancellation fee. Cancellations received less than two days before the scheduled delivery but prior to dispatch will incur a $15 cancellation fee. Where a cancellation is received after an order has been dispatched, the order must be paid for in full. The same policy applies if you have a standing order and want to skip a delivery. Note: cancellations over the phone or via voicemail are not acceptable and cannot be considered. |
9. Do you accept payment by credit card?| Yes, we accept Visa, Mastercard and Bankcard, and charge a credit card levy of $1 per order. All orders must be paid for by credit card prior to delivery. You can pay by credit card over the phone or by entering your credit card details on the secure payment page of our Internet shopping trolley. Once we have received your credit card details, you do not need to re-enter them for subsequent orders! Simply type in 1111 1111 1111 1111 and we will use the details we have on file. |
10. Can I pay by cash, cheque or EFT?| No. With cheques, EFT and cash we have frequently received overpayments, underpayments, late payments or money has gone missing, so we have opted for the only fuss-free payment method: credit card. For standing orders of set boxes we may consider alternative payment methods at our discretion and on request. |

11. Can I have a different delivery address to my home address or name my delivery day?
| You can specify a delivery address that is different from your home address by entering the delivery address details in the Address for Delivery field. Caution: if your address for delivery changes (to another suburb), this may affect your delivery day. Also, if your delivery address changes, please draw our attention to this by adding a comment in the Comment field. In some cases, Perth metro customers may be able to choose between a Wednesday and a Thursday delivery day, but for the majority of orders the delivery day is fixed. Special arrangements can be made for bulk orders or other unusual circumstances. |
12. When will my order arrive?
| Most metro orders will be delivered by mid-afternoon on the delivery day assigned to your suburb (to find out your delivery day, visit our Deliveries page. Unfortunately, it is not possible to be more precise. Therefore, clear arrangements need to be in place in the event that you are not at home at the time of delivery (see next question). |
13. What if I'm not home when you deliver?
| When you place your order you can enter instructions explaining where to leave the order (eg. inside garage, on front verandah – make sure we can gain access) in the Message Field on the payment page. Our produce is very fresh and can tolerate being left for several hours prior to refrigeration. |
