Regular Updates

From Meat in the Box

When you order with us, we like to keep you updated with your order progress. Once your order is placed we’ll send you an order confirmation. Here you can check all of your order details and ensure your shipping information is correct. Then, the day before your order is due for delivery, we’ll generate your shipping label and send your details to DPD. You will be notified by email once this has been completed.

From DPD

DPD will then collect your order from us and scan your parcel(s) into their tracking system. They will send a text or email notifying you that they have your parcel and that it will be delivered the next day. And finally, on the morning of delivery, you will get another notification providing a 1-hour or 2-hour slot.

Delivery Problems

If you’re experiencing any difficulty with your order or things just don’t seem right with DPD, we recommend tracking your parcel first and then contacting DPD.


Track Your Parcel

You can find your tracking number on your dispatch email or DPD notifications. Be sure to check any junk folders. You can also find it within your account’s order page: open the # link or ‘View’ link next to the relevant order.


When you call from the number provided during checkout on Meat in the Box you will get an automated update on your parcel. We recommend contacting DPD and not our customer service team if you have a DPD issue. We will call the same number as below but it will take us longer to find out the same information as we are not the recipient.
