Why Are Milk Prices Going Up?

We know nobody likes seeing the price of their regular milk delivery increase — and believe us, we don’t like putting our prices up either!

But unfortunately, like everything else at the moment, the cost of getting milk from the dairy to your doorstep has increased.

🥛 It’s not just the price of milk

There’s a lot more involved in your early-morning milk delivery than simply buying a pint of milk and dropping it at your door.

The price we pay for milk has increased, but we’re also facing higher costs across the board — including fuel, electricity, wages, vehicle costs, packaging, bottles and general operating expenses.

And because we deliver directly to your doorstep, those costs matter.

Our milkmen and women are out in the early hours, making sure your milk is waiting for you before most of us have even thought about getting out of bed!

🚚 The cost of delivery

Unlike supermarket milk, your milk doesn’t sit on a shelf waiting for you to collect it.

We bring it directly to your home.

That means maintaining our vehicles, paying for fuel and electricity, servicing and insuring vehicles, and employing the people who get your order to you safely and reliably.

Unfortunately, those costs haven’t stood still.

💷 We have tried to keep increases to a minimum

We know household budgets are under pressure, so we’ve worked hard to absorb as much of the increased cost as possible.

However, we have reached the point where a small price increase is necessary to keep Doorstep Deliveries sustainable and continue providing the service our customers rely on.

We don’t want to be the cheapest way of buying milk.

We want to be the best way of buying milk.

🌱 And there’s still a lot to love about doorstep delivery

Your delivery isn’t just about a bottle of milk.

It’s about:

🥛 Fresh milk delivered to your door
🚚 No trip to the supermarket
🌱 Reusable glass bottles
♻️ Less single-use plastic
⏰ Your regular delivery, even when you’re busy

And let’s be honest — there are few better sights in the morning than a bottle of fresh milk waiting outside your door!
