We will leave your order unattended at your address if no one is at home at the time of delivery. To help, please make sure our delivery driver can easily access your nominated safe place to leave your goods when we arrive by leaving a note at checkout. Any unsecured dogs, additional locked gates or doors that limit access, or unclear signage can make it hard for us to safely leave your order.

If you do not want your order to be left unattended, please let us know when you check out. In this case, we will not deliver the order if no one is home and will call you to arrange another delivery time (additional delivery fees apply, check our Terms of Service).

We advise that you follow Australian Government guidelines with your groceries. Refrigerated items left out for:

• less than 2 hours can be used or put back in the refrigerator to use later.

• 2-4 hours can still be used but shouldn’t be put back in the fridge for use later.

• Refrigerated items left out for more than 4 hours are at risk of contamination and should be discarded.

Most days, your order will be delivered in a recyclable card box or in paper bags. We aim to keep packaging as minimal as possible. However in times of extreme heat, we will package your cold goods with thermal pouches or ice wraps to protect them.

Refunds, Returns & Missing Items

We are committed to delivering excellent products and a positive customer experience. 

If you have been delivered a product that is not to standard, please contact the trader you purchased it from to discuss replacement options as soon as possible and within 2 days after delivery. Find their contact details here.  

Note that products that are sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. 

The trader may request to have the product assessed for acceptable quality prior to providing you with a suitable remedy. If your return is accepted, the trader will provide you with instructions on how the return will take place. Depending on the situation, you may:

• Return the product to the Adelaide Central Market trader you have purchased it from; or

• Contact our Customer Service team by telephone on 8203 7494 to make arrangements to return that product. In this instance, you may return the Product to us at the time we deliver your next Order. Upon confirmation from the driver that the goods have been received, we will refund on your original payment method, with the funds being available within 3-5 business days.

For more information, please view our refund policy.

Firstly, double check that the products missing are listed on your checkout summary order. If they are, and it seems as though they have been missed in the delivery, please contact the trader directly for them to arrange delivery of that product.  Alternatively, if you do not hear back from the trader, please contact the Market office via shop@adelaidecentralmarket.com or 8203 7494.

We will take steps to verify and confirm any such missing products. Once we are reasonably satisfied that the item was not delivered to you, we will provide you with a credit to your original payment method, within 3-5 business days for the missing products.

Payment

We accept all major credit cards via Shopify payments. At this stage you are not able to pay with an Adelaide Central Market Gift Voucher.

A card payment surcharge is an extra fee charged by a merchant when a customer is paying with credit card, charge card or debit card, to recover the cost of accepting payment by card. When shopping on our Online shop, this fee is capped at 1.8% of your total shop, no matter what type of card you use. We value transparency so we have highlighted this fee before your total cart.
