Shipping & Delivery

The Wildlife Food Company

We ship wildlife food products throughout the United Kingdom using DPD and other trusted couriers.

Because wildlife feed is heavy and dense, delivery prices are based on parcel weight and UK delivery zone.
This ensures accurate, fair courier pricing for every order.

How Delivery Costs Are Calculated

Shipping is calculated automatically at checkout based on:

  • Total order weight

  • Number of parcels required

  • Delivery postcode

  • Courier zone classification

You will always see the exact delivery cost before payment.

Weight Bands

Our courier pricing follows standard parcel weight bands commonly used for wildlife feed shipments:

  • Up to 2 kg

  • 2–10 kg

  • 10–20 kg

  • 20–25 kg

  • 25–30 kg

  • 30 kg+ (multi-parcel consignments)

If your order exceeds a single parcel limit, it will ship as multiple parcels.
Checkout automatically combines the correct courier charges.
