Payment Terms
All prices on this site are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of GST unless otherwise specified.

Online Shop
Product Availability
Primal Alternative products may only be purchased for your personal or household use and are not for resale. We have the right to refuse to accept your order at our discretion or to limit the number of products purchased per person, household or order.
While we will do our best to honour the availability of products advertised in our online shop, we reserve the right to withdraw products from sale, discontinue a particular product, or change ingredients if necessary, to ensure we fulfill our commitment to producing quality products.
We make every effort to display our products accurately on our website, but we cannot guarantee the product you receive will look exactly the same.
Delivery
Please note that we do not ship to PO Boxes, only to physical addresses. It is your responsibility to ensure that your address details are accurate and up to date. If we need to contact you about an order, we will use the contact details provided when the order was placed.
Primal Alternative Products are made fresh for you, on receipt of your order. We do not use preservatives and believe in delivering real, fresh food directly to you. As a result, there may be a delay of up to 14 days from the time that you place your order until you receive it.
All Primal Alternative products are express posted. We do our very best to ensure delivery within 24-48 hours but we are at the mercy of the postal service and couriers. If you are expecting a delivery, it is important that you are ready to collect it promptly, as the quality of the product may suffer if it is left for an extended period in a mailbox.
Products are shipped fresh, in insulated packaging with ice packs. Some orders will be posted frozen if humid conditions are expected. It is your responsibility to freeze pastry, pizza bases and bread (we suggest slicing it first) immediately on receipt. Cookies will last on the shelf for up to 2 weeks, and packet mixes for 6 months.
Please understand that this is real food made fresh for you without preservatives (we can’t say that often enough!) Although we will do everything we can to ensure it gets to you in the best possible condition, this is not something we can guarantee. Sometimes fluctuating temperatures in transit may affect the quality of the product on arrival.
We may not be able to deliver our whole range to some areas due to the time it takes for parcels to travel, and the risk of spoilage.
Replacement & Returns
Because of the nature of the product, we do not accept returns. However, we may offer a replacement in some circumstances. Please contact us by email to discuss any issues or problems you may have. Unfortunately, while we understand that tastes differ, we cannot offer a refund simply because you don’t like the product.
If you would like to sample the product before you buy, Primal Alternative you can visit a local market stall for a sample.
Ulverstone Wharf Markets:
1st and 3rd Sundays of the month 9 am - 1 pm.
Devonport Market Square Pavilion (previously Providore Place):

Refund Policy
Order Fulfilment:
If you order a product or service that is no longer available, due to it being out of stock, discontinued or if we are unable to fulfil your order within a reasonable time for any reason, we will provide you with a full refund.
Change of Mind:
We do not offer any refund for change of mind, so we encourage you to choose very carefully before purchasing.
Problems with products:
If you believe you have encountered a problem with our products or services – a problem that cannot be easily fixed within a reasonable time frame, please email us at jenny@tasalternativebakery.com to discuss your concerns and negotiate a refund or other acceptable solution.
