FAQ

The questions we hear most.

Still wondering something? Drop us a line at hello@crucialcrates.co.uk.

Is there a contract or minimum number of crates?

None. You can pause, skip, or cancel any time from your account. We'll never auto-renew you into a corner.

What happens to the empties?

Pop refill bottles and the crate itself onto your next delivery — the driver swaps them out, free. We sterilise, refill, repeat.

How do you choose suppliers?

Every product is reviewed against four criteria: provenance, materials, working conditions, and end-of-life. We visit makers in person before they join the range.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

Not yet. We're focused on getting Britain right first. Join the waitlist on the form below and we'll let you know as we expand.

Can I gift a crate?

Absolutely. Choose “gift” at checkout and we'll include a hand-written note and skip the invoicing paperwork.

Start your first crate.

Three minutes to set up. Skip or cancel any time. Delivered by people who genuinely care what's in the box.

No spam. One welcome note, then nothing until you ask.
