Shipping Policy — Elvarin

Last Updated: August 13, 2026

At Elvarin, we are committed to providing our customers with a reliable, secure, and transparent delivery experience when purchasing mini fridges, compact refrigerators, mini dishwashers, and countertop dishwashers.

Because these products contain electrical components and, depending on the model, water connections, pumps, compressors, refrigerant systems, hoses, or other delicate components, we take reasonable care when preparing orders for transportation.

This Shipping Policy explains how orders are processed, packaged, dispatched, tracked, and delivered, as well as what customers should do if an order arrives damaged, delayed, or incomplete.

For online sales in the UK, customers must be provided with clear information about delivery arrangements, costs and expected delivery periods before placing an order.


1. Order Processing

After an order has been successfully placed and payment has been authorized, Elvarin will begin processing the order.

Our standard order processing time is generally:

2–4 business days

Order processing may include:

  • Confirming the order information
  • Confirming product availability
  • Preparing the mini fridge or dishwasher
  • Checking the product and included components where appropriate
  • Preparing protective packaging
  • Preparing shipping documentation
  • Preparing the order for collection or dispatch

Processing times may occasionally be longer during weekends, public holidays, promotional periods, periods of unusually high order volume, inventory changes, or unexpected logistical circumstances.

The order processing period is separate from the transportation period.


2. Estimated Delivery Times

Our general estimated delivery timeframes are:

United Kingdom

Approximately 5–10 business days after dispatch.

International Orders

Approximately 10–20 business days after dispatch.

These timeframes are estimates and are not guaranteed delivery dates unless a specific delivery date or period has been expressly agreed with the customer.

Delivery times can vary depending on:

  • Destination
  • Courier
  • Product size and weight
  • Delivery service
  • Weather
  • Public holidays
  • Customs procedures
  • Transportation disruptions
  • Remote delivery locations
  • Incorrect delivery information

UK rules generally require online sellers to deliver goods within the agreed period or, where no different period has been agreed, within the applicable statutory timeframe.


3. Shipping Costs

Shipping costs may vary depending on:

  • Product type
  • Mini fridge or dishwasher model
  • Product weight
  • Product dimensions
  • Packaging dimensions
  • Delivery destination
  • Shipping service
  • Carrier requirements
  • Number of products ordered

Any applicable shipping charge will be displayed during checkout before the order is completed.

Elvarin may occasionally offer free shipping or promotional shipping rates on selected products, destinations, or orders.


4. Product Packaging

Mini fridges and compact dishwashers contain electrical and mechanical components that can be sensitive to impact during transportation.

Elvarin takes reasonable care when preparing products for shipment.

  • Control panels
  • Electrical components
  • Compressor components
  • Dishwasher baskets

Customers are encouraged to retain the original packaging until they have confirmed that the product has arrived safely and is functioning correctly.


5. Mini Fridge Transportation

Mini fridges should be transported and handled according to the applicable product instructions.

Customers should inspect the product after delivery and review the manufacturer's instructions before connecting or operating the appliance.

Where the product instructions specify a waiting period before powering on the appliance after transportation, customers should follow those instructions.

Elvarin cannot guarantee that every mini fridge model has identical transportation or setup requirements, so customers should always consult the documentation supplied with the individual product.

  • Water inlet connections
  • Drain connections
  • Pumps

Depending on the product and destination, delivery may be performed using an appropriate parcel or delivery service.

The carrier may require:

  • Someone to be present
  • Confirmation of delivery
  • Access to a suitable delivery location
