SENDING and delivery, EXPLAINED

Delivery in Belgium

We send your order with Bpost 24hr service, in a cooled and insulated box. Your order will be prepared and sent on Wednesdays, to receive the day after. To avoid that, in case of delays, your parcel gets stuck in a warehouse depot during the weekend, we don’t ship on Thursday/Friday. 
You can follow your parcel once it is registered with Bpost, who handles the delivery. (you will get a track & trace code). Please make sure to receive your parcel as soon as possible, as the foods stay fresh maximum 48 hours.

Delivery in Brussels

We deliver in Brussels on Wednesday afternoon. (between 14 – 18h.) The cost is €7 per delivery. We deliver in all 19 Brussels communes. For Uccle: choose the Belgium option. (due to the location of Uccle it’s more time-consuming to deliver there. Hence, it’s more expensive) We expect you to be home to receive your order. You get FREE delivery in Brussels from 69€ order value.

Pick up in Brussels, or choose in our corner shop

You can also come to pick up your order at our atelier: Rue Achille Detienne 6, 1030 Schaerbeek. As a bonus, you receive a 5% discount! You can select the pick-up day in the check-out process. Find the opening hours on our contact page. It’s also possible to drop by and choose the products from our fridge. (we have a small corner shop) In busy times some products might be sold out though. 

RECYCOLD ICEPACKS 

We include frozen gelpacks to keep your foods fresh & cool. HOW TO RECYCLE? The Recycold cool packs contain a 100% organic cooling gel that you can rinse with water in the sink or simply empty in the garden or organic waste. The cool pack with gel can be disposed of with the residual waste. The empty / dirty packaging without gel must also be disposed of with the residual waste.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

PLASTIC USE

The use of plastics is definitely a problem in our society and at the VB we are set to reduce as much as possible the amount of plastics involved in the production of our foods. However, because our goal is to deliver fresh food in a safe way, plastics is sometimes the only choice currently on the market. This is the case for our vegan meats, which are often vacuumed in plastic to keep them fresh for a longer time, avoiding useless food-waste. For majority of the other preparations we produce, we prefer compostable packaging and we always keep an eye open for new innovative packaging that is not harmful to the planet.

FOOD WASTE

At The Vegan Butcher’s atelier we make small batches of handmade products. We buy our ingredients just in order to make the necessary food for that week. Because of that, at this time we can safely and proudly say we don’t have any food waste. This, together with an overall higher quality of our ingredients compared to the average standard, results in a production process which is less cost-effective and a product which is slightly more expensive compared to industrial ones. Wasting food is wrong on so many levels and we will never state it strong enough. 

LOCAL PRODUCTION

We strive to use as many seasonal and local ingredients as we can, for several reasons. First: They taste better! Second: Their impact on the environment is less. We produce in Brussels, Belgium and, for the time being, we only ship within the country. We value greatly the local economy and we think we should all support it.
