How do I select the products I want to buy?
Like any shop you look around and see the products you want to buy. You will see the picture and short explanation of all the products we sell. Select the product or products and the amount you want of each.
Are there special offers for bigger orders?
We encourage you to look at the three bands of prices attached to each product, the more you buy the cheaper the products become.
Can I see what I have chosen and change my order if I want
Yes you will be given an opportunity to check your order prior to passing to the secure payment.
You can add or subtract items or start again if you choose.
Can I send different items to multiple addresses?
For any order, but especially when you are sending to more than one address our advice is for you to set up an account with us and populate the contact details of yourself and the people you might want to send salmon to, now or in the future. In this way you can access your account by logging in and your contact details and those of all your friends will be stored and you will never have to remember or type out their details again. If you want to send something to yourself as well as to other addresses you need to fill in your contact details in the multiple addresses database along with your friends. Once you have set up an account and included your and your friends addresses, log in and your contact details will automatically be filled in to the Billing Address. Imagine if you wanted to send four sliced sides (it could be any of the products in the shop) Choose the total amount of items you want to send to the multiple addresses, proceed to the checkout, you will see your name in the billing Address and the opportunity to pick multiple addresses from your stored addresses at the top right of the page. Go to the multiple addresses and see the four sides, then select one of your stored addresses alongside the product. Remember to pick your own address if you want a product sent to yourself. Save and continue, scroll down the page so you can see the four orders, fill in the delivery date, the delivery instructions and the personal message for each person. Then all you need to do is complete the order, pay by credit card and you will be notified your order has been accepted.
Can I send a message in with the parcel?
You can write a short greetings message eg “Merry Christmas, Love from Mary” “Happy Birthday” “congratulations on passing your exams” “bon appetite, enjoy!”
Your message will be printed on the back of a special Certificate of Origin. It is always best to put your name and message in with the goods, we often get people phoning up asking us who sent them such a lovely gift, we shouldn’t expect the receiver to know who has sent them a gift.
How will I know my order has been accepted?
You will receive an email confirmation of order to let you know your order has been accepted and your payment has gone through.
How can I pay for my product?
In the shop you can pay by cash. Debit card, credit card or cheque (made out to “LUNAR”)

Delivery Instructions and Advice
How much will be added for post and packing?
All packing and posting charges will be added after the selection of the number of items and the delivery address is submitted. Typically for UK delivery addresses, post and packing for most items will cost only £10.50.
Can I send to an address outside the UK?
No, sadly since Brexit we can no longer send to any country outside of the UK.
How will my products arrive?
If you are not able to collect your goods from the Ugie salmon Gift shop in Peterhead we will send you the products by FedEx overnight courier. They normally deliver next day between 8am and 5pm. If you supply us with an email address you will get alerts telling you when the parcel will arrive.
What happens if I am out when the courier comes to deliver?
Normally we use FedEx to deliver your goods. They need a signature and someone at the address to take in the parcel. If you are out when they come they should leave a note telling you they have been unsuccessful and giving you instructions how to contact them to make the delivery happen. When you are ordering, it is always best to tell us a safe place where to leave it if you are out.
If you don’t receive your goods on the day you expect them contact us right away and we will contact FedEx, give you a tracking number and get the problem resolved as soon as possible.
How can I avoid a delivery failure as described above?
When you order your goods you will be given an opportunity to give us special delivery instructions, if you know you will be out on the date selected. Examples may be “please leave in greenhouse if out” “Please leave with neighbours at no.6” or “leave on doorstep”
Another good way for people working to receive their products is to get them delivered to their works address.
