1. What is The Ethical Food Club?

The Ethical Food Club is a Not-For-Profit Buying Club. We are lucky to have an awesome website and the largest range of products available of any food club, with over 6000 products and counting. It is a community, made up of like-minded ethical folk who don’t want to spend a fortune on their shopping just because it is healthy, cruelty-free, organic or wholesome.

We put our collective orders together so we can shop direct with the wholesaler and save!

2. What does it cost to be a Member?

We started this club to benefit from lower prices on our shopping and initially asked only for voluntary donations. Over time it has become apparent that we need a compulsory donation to cover certain costs like the website hosting and in the event that something goes wrong with missing products etc. We only ask for a small amount which is usually covered by the savings of a single item and is based on your total order. On the checkout page, you can review the ‘Community Pot’ contribution before you confirm your order.

3. How long will my order take?

We place a large group order every two weeks to be delivered to us on a Monday. Orders can be placed at any time and you can find the next scheduled delivery day on the banner at the top of the website. As long as your order is in by 18:00 on Friday, it will be ready to collect the following Monday. We recommend that you place your order as close to Friday as possible as this will give you the most up-to-date stock levels and time to arrange any substitutions for items which are out of stock with the wholesaler. You can collect your order as soon as you receive the ‘Completed Order’ email which is usually early afternoon but can sometimes be as late as 5 or 6pm. If you need to collect on a different day, just contact us by email or phone to arrange.

4. How do I pay for my order?

As this is a non-profit club, we accept bank transfer or apply a 2.5% processing fee to card payments to keep costs down. In the event that an item you order is not available or not delivered, you will receive a credit to your account to use next time. If you would prefer to receive a transfer back to your bank account, just let us know.

5. What are the ‘Offers’ about?

Every month, our wholesalers have special offers on different products. We make sure you know about them by updating our prices to reflect the extra discounts.
