We're sorry if this has happened to you. We might have left your order out of sight in a place you didn't expect. We'd advise you to have a quick check and, if you still can't find it, we'll offer you an immediate credit or redelivery on one of your next three delivery days. You can do this by logging in to your Modern Milkman account and following the steps below:

Go to 'Orders & Deliveries'
Select the date and delivery you have an issue with
Select the 'Report an Issue' button and follow the on-screen instructions

If your order is showing as skipped/rejected, we’ve already credited your account.

We bill you for your first week’s deliveries on the day you set up a repeat weekly order. Your weekly billing cycle is dictated by your first delivery day, so if your first delivery is a Wednesday, your week is Wednesday to Tuesday.Example: Repeat weekly order For example, if you set up a repeat order on Monday 14th, and your first delivery is Wednesday 16th, you will be billed immediately for all orders delivered from Wednesday 16th to Tuesday 22nd.Weekly payment cycle We will then bill you for the following week’s deliveries, three days in advance of the first delivery day of that week. Any additional repeat weekly orders will be billed immediately, and then added to the weekly billing cycle the following week.Example continued: weekly payment cycle The second week’s deliveries will start on Wednesday 23rd, so you will be billed on Sunday 20th. This means you will be billed twice within a week initially, and then once a week every Sunday from then on.Reason for three-day advance payment This three-day advance gives you some leeway if your payment fails for any reason, such as the bank rejecting your payment. If this happens, we will try to take payment again over the three days leading up to delivery. If we still can’t take payment, we will have to cancel your delivery.
