Terms & Conditions

The Scot Box is a registered food business with The City of Edinburgh Council. We have completed a Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety accredited course to ensure we are compliant with the law and regulations around food safety.

We aim to make your online shopping experience as efficient and enjoyable and have worldwide shipping options available to get your order to you as quickly and as safely as possible. 

Due to our commitment to reducing packaging as far as possible and our express delivery options, we highly recommend that these boxes are sent directly to the recipient. 

Box Presentation:

We aim to cut down on as much unnecessary packaging as possible. The Scot Box contents will be packed in one Postal box with recipient address, a Scot Box Sticker and a fragile or handle with care label placed directly on the box. For this reason, we highly recommend sending a box DIRECTLY to your recipient, rather than to yourself as the above information will be displayed on the box. 

A hamper is not included in any of The Scot Boxes we provide.
