Delivery Cooler Bag
All subscription customers of Barf Time will receive their third (and all subsequent) deliveries in an 18L branded Barf Time cooler bag. In an effort to help the environment, we ask that our customers leave this cooler bag out on your next delivery, and we will replace it with another for the duration of your subscription with us.
Customers who lose or damage the cooler bag (outside of normal wear & tear) will be charged a minimal fee of $7.50 for a replacement bag. Any future lost or damaged bags beyond this minimal fee will be charged the total retail price of the bag at $15.
BARF Time is offering this solution to our customers in the hope this swap system is happily adopted. We get to offer you a handy reusable bag for everyday use, and we get to help the environment by reducing carbon waste. It’s a win-win!.

FAQ
Below is a small selection of some of our Frequently Asked Questions relating to our Deliveries and Subscriptions.
To view the full list, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions.
If you can’t find the answer to your question here please contact us, and one of our friendly staff will be happy to assist.
Where will the delivery driver leave my order?
The default drop-off point will be your front door.
Please secure your pets so that the driver can access the drop-off point on the delivery day without pets being able to come in contact with the driver or the food delivered. If you live in an apartment and you are not home we will try to leave it in your lobby where there will be sure to be CCTV present.
For any special delivery instructions, you can leave us a note at checkout.
Who will deliver my order and will I get notified?
Being a small, start-up business our own team will be delivering your orders, so you get that old-fashioned, family-owned feel with Barf Time.
We won’t have any SMS notifications but we will send you a reminder email a day before your delivery.
We endeavour to SMS notifications in future and offer you further options as our business grows.
Does BARF Time collect the used box and thermal insulation? Is the packaging recyclable?
We are very conscious of today’s human and pet food delivery companies using a lot of plastics and packaging! We will continue to work with our manufacturers to investigate better ways to get our products to you in the most sustainable way possible.
We will deliver all one-time and initial subscription deliveries in standard boxes with basic insulation. You are welcome to leave this out for collection on your next order so we can recycle the packaging.
For subscribers, from your third subscription delivery, we will supply you with a branded BARF Time cooler bag (valued at $15) to use during your subscription. We ask that from the time you receive your Cooler Bag, you leave your last bag out for collection on the day of your next order.
That way, we can help the environment together and reuse your Cooler Bag for future orders.
Please note that lost bags will incur a minimal $7.50 fee on the first instance and a full bag fee of $15.00 thereafter.
How long will my products stay cool after being delivered?
When we deliver your order with our insulation, your raw food should stay frozen for 2-4 hours.
Please be mindful that on hotter Queensland days, if left outside, this can shorten this timeframe, so it’s best to pick a timeframe that you know will be the shortest time between you receiving and popping the products in your freezer.
Is there a minimum term for a subscription?
No, there is no minimum term. You are welcome to cancel or pause your subscription with us at any time after your first order.
