Delivery Policy

Last Updated: 1 April 2026

This policy explains how we process, prepare, and deliver your tiffin subscriptions and event catering orders — including timing, fees, service areas, and what happens if something goes wrong along the way.

Order Processing & Prep Time

Preparation timelines differ depending on the service you've ordered.

Tiffin Subscription Plans

  • Meals are freshly prepared each day according to the day's scheduled menu
  • Preparation begins ahead of the delivery slot assigned to your subscription plan
  • Skip or pause requests must be submitted before the cutoff time for that day's preparation to take effect

Event Catering

  • Preparation begins only once your order is confirmed and your event date, time, and menu are finalised
  • Larger guest counts and customised menus may require additional lead time before your event date
  • Menu changes are not accepted within 48 hours of the event once preparation is underway

Delivery Slots, Fees & Coverage

Estimated Delivery Slots

Delivery times are estimates only. We do not guarantee exact delivery at a specific minute. Factors including traffic, weather, and operational conditions may affect delivery timelines.

Delivery Confirmation

Where available, you will receive a notification when your order is out for delivery and again upon successful delivery.

Delivery Fees

Delivery charges, where applicable, are calculated based on your delivery address and displayed at checkout before you confirm your order or subscription. Fees may vary by service area and are subject to change without prior notice.

Service Area

Our delivery services operate within a defined geographical area. Orders placed outside our operational zone may be rejected or may incur additional delivery charges.

Receiving Your Order

Recipient Availability

You or an authorised representative must be available at the delivery address to receive the order. We reserve the right to not leave food unattended, and missed deliveries are not eligible for refunds.

Food Packaging & Condition

We take care to ensure food is packed properly at the time of dispatch. However, we cannot guarantee temperature or freshness after delivery, particularly if left uncollected at the delivery location.

Delivery Partner Assignment

We reserve the right to assign deliveries to our own team or third-party delivery partners. The identity of the delivery partner is not guaranteed and may vary from order to order.

Force Majeure

Dear Hunger is not liable for delivery delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, civil disturbances, government orders, or severe weather conditions.

Policy Changes Notice

  • Dear Hunger reserves the right to modify, update, or revise this policy at any time without prior notice.
  • Notification of changes via email, SMS, or any other channel is at the sole discretion of the management team and is not guaranteed.
  • It is your responsibility to review this page periodically. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
