Ordering/Site Related Questions
What card types do you accept? Card types we accept over our secure payment page are: Yes we are VAT registered. Things to note are that coffee is zero rated so there is no VAT on it, also note that all prices include VAT. If you want a VAT invoice then email once you have ordered and we can fax or email a VAT invoice for your records. The coffee itself is packaged in a special coffee bag which is lined with a sealed material keeping the goodness in and reduces the coffees exposure to the air. The coffee is sent out within 48 hours by Royal Mail 1st Class post. Espresso/Coffee Machines / Roasters Delivery Times: Orders are normally dispatched within 24 hours of ordering but please allow 5 working days for receipt of delivery, if you specifically require it by a certain date let us know on the order page in the 'latest delivery date' box. Coffee Delivery Times: Orders are normally dispatched by the above method within 24 hours. Accessories Delivery Times: Orders are normally dispatched within 1-2 working days. Do I need to be in when my coffee is delivered? The short answer is yes, but we have tested our packages and if you are ordering the 250g bag it should squeeze into a standard size letter box. The 500g will not fit but your coffee is delivered by Royal Mail so you know when it will arrive. If you are out and the package will not fit in your letter box you will be able to pick it up from your local sorting office... Coffee Beans: All our coffee beans are roasted and left to rest for 36 hours at which point they are sold at their freshest, we obviously are constantly roasting stock all the time so you do not have to wait 36 hours. Once you have the beans they are nice and fresh for upto 2 weeks and ideally used within 2 weeks but will still be ok for 4-6 weeks. If you are keeping beans any longer than 4-6 weeks then you should put them in an airtight container in the freezer, they will stay fresh longer and can last upto a year but the cup quality will not be as good as beans used within the first 2 weeks. You can store your coffee in the bag we supply it in, making sure the bag is resealed after use. Some people put their coffee in the refrigerator, this has no real advantage and only subjects the coffee to damp, we do not recommend it. To preserve your coffee the longest, you should keep it in an air tight container or even better keep it in beans and only grind it as you use it. What if I am unhappy with my coffee? We pride ourselves on selling high quality real coffee and having it hand packed and checked, if you do have a problem then tell us about it and we will look into it and if there is reason we will offer a refund or replace the coffee. What size is the bag in the photos? The coffee bag in the photo is the 250g bag. This is no longer the actual bag you will receive when you order your coffee, all coffee is now sent in a plastic/foil type silver air tight bags which keep the coffees exposure to the air to a minimum. The 500g bag looks a bit different because of its size. Do I need a grinder if I buy beans? You do need a grinder if you are buying your coffee in bean form. You can buy grinders from our accessories section where we have a good range of value quality grinders. What is the coffee weight in pounds and ounces? The '250gram' bag = '8.9oz' and the '500gram' bag = '1lb 1.4oz'. Is it secure to make payments on your site? When shopping at Red Monkey Coffee you can be sure your information is secure and protected. We can make such a guarantee because our software and technology is the benchmark for the industry, the same secure server software (SSL) and encryption systems that are used by other leading online retailers. How are my card details stored and who has access to them? We are pleased to let you know that no one including any of our staff will ever see your card details. The card is processed by a large well know credit card processing company World Pay Ltd. Your details are not stored on any of our servers, nor will we ever know your card number during the debiting processes. You are safe with us. How will I know you have received my order? When you place an order and have paid by credit card you will receive two e-mails, the first will be a automatically created confirmation of your order and details, the second is the payment confirmation. You should receive this instantly, email us if you do not receive these emails, if you receive just the order details and not a payment confirmation you have not paid or you entered your email address incorrectly on the payment page. Email us if you paid successfully but have not received a payment confirmation. How do I specify if I want my order to be delivered elsewhere? If you want your coffee delivered to a different address then detail where you want it to go in the comments request box on the order page. We are happy to carry out any requests for multiple delivery addresses. If it is a special gift then we can also add a message if you specify it in the requests box as well. It's all part of the service. If you are ordering machines we will make additional checks for security purposes, on all orders we will require the full unabriviated billing address for the card used for payment. Why is the payment taken from wardigroup.com? The reason the payment page says wardigroup.com is because redmonkeycoffee.com is part of the wardigroup.com. We are though a separate business, using the group's payment facilities. This is to keep costs to a minimum by using a unified single payment gateway. Yes you can pay by cheque. All you have to do is print out the order form (stage 1) and send it with your cheque made payable to "wardigroup.com" to: Can I pay by bank transfer? YES Yes you can pay by bank transfer, simply setup a direct payment into our account using the details below, if you first shop on the site as usual and add items to your order, then complete the order form and in the comments box put 'payment to be made by direct bank transfer' submit the order details and the order details will go to us.
