We’ve always offered the option to slice our raclette cheese into ca. 4mm thick slices, ready for your melted cheese party. Now, however, we have improved the packaging further: starting from this week every order of sliced raclette cheese will be supplied with greaseproof paper layers in between each slice, making it even more convenient for you.
And – of course – we continue to offer you the option of upgrading the packaging to cheese paper as well.
See which 2 amazing soft cheeses Tom picked for this year’s Christmas Cheese Box. Orders are now available and packs come in 3 sizes, starting at $60 plus shipping.
We promised you something exciting and here it is: our new Alpine Rewards Program. With our new loyalty rewards program you earn  whenever you spend money with us. For every $1 spent on cheese and other foods you earn 5 and for every $2 spent on non food products you earn 5 .There are also other ways you can earn – for example for reviewing a product or – as a first user – for placing your first order. Additionally we will periodically promote certain products or categories for which you will earn extra points.What do you do with the points earned? The added points unlock 3 levels with specific perks awarded based on each level:    You can see the full details of each level with what rewards they unlock here. What about my past purchases? Great question! We’ve looked at your 12 months purchase history and awarded you with the corresponding points. However points are only given to logged in customers, so make sure you create an account and login before placing your order if you haven’t already. If you have an account, you can check your rewards status within your ‘My Account’ section or by clicking this link. |
As a business striving for high customer support, we always try to improve all aspects of our business with a customer centric view. For a number or reasons until now we were not able to dispatch cheese early in the week, leaving some of our customers with shipments getting stranded over the weekend. We’re happy to have found a solution now: From Monday, 23 March we will start to dispatch on Mondays every week. Where there is a Public Holiday on Monday, we will dispatch on Tuesday.
In addition to this change we made the decision to no longer offer a dedicated Brisbane Metro Courier service as the courier provider was very unreliable and caused us a lot more work than we anticipated. Starting immediately we will therefore dispatch all orders with Australia Post Express. We will talk and negotiate with Australia Post to see if we can allow for reduced rates for those customers that live closer to our Brisbane dispatch centre and will update you accordingly.
We believe these changes will make it more efficient to get our high quality, artisan Swiss cheese to all of you and are looking forward to your custom.
For any questions or concerns about these changes, feel free to contact us.
