I've received the wrong product
Bugger. We don’t like it when this happens either. Take a photo of the products you received and send it through to our awesome customer service team at hello@lovepbco.com along with your purchase order number.
We will be in touch as soon as we find out what has happened and work out how we can make it up to you :)
Are your products sugar free?
We don't add sugar to any of our products :) Sweet!
You can check out all the ingredients for each product here: https://lovepbco.com/shop/
You may see a small amount of sugars in the nutrition panel of each product. These are naturally occurring sugars found in the amazing natural ingredients we use which we cannot remove.
But given how low carb our products are, we don't really need too :)
What baking paper should I use?
It's really important that you use the right type of baking paper when making our products. Often, cheaper baking papers can leave your products sticking to the pan or give you a result that you're not entirely happy with.
And do not use greaseproof paper. It is not baking paper :)
We have tested the following Baking Paper with our products .

Happy baking :)
What is the difference between Net carbs vs Total Carbs?
In Australia & New Zealand, the Total Carbohydrates value in the Nutrition Information Panel excludes Fibre. So you don’t need to deduct the fibre (or anything!) from the Carbohydrate total. This is also known as Net Carbs in the USA.
For example, if a label says:
Carbohydrates5g of net carbsof which Sugars2 gDietary Fibre4 g
The total carbs listed on the label is the available carbs which is the 5g and this is the value to include in your daily carb count (if tracking macro's). This figure does not include the fibre of 4 g.
The fibre content listed on all Nutrition Information Panels (NIP) in Australia and New Zealand (including our Nutrition panel) under Dietary Fibre is a combination of Insoluble Fibre and Soluble Fibre.
For more information on Net carbs vs Total Carbs, check out our blog - https://lovepbco.com/net-carbs-and-total-carbs/
What is Lupin Flour?
Lupin is a type of legume belonging to the same plant family as peas and peanuts.
Lupins are the world’s richest natural source of combined protein and dietary fibre. Comprising 40% protein and 37% fibre, lupins are also a great source of minerals, contain prebiotic fibre, and are also gluten-free.
We source our lupin flour from Irwin Valley in Western Australia using specially bred lupin varieties that meet our manufacturing and product requirements.
You can learn more about why we love using Lupin Flour here - https://lovepbco.com/what-is-lupin/
What whey protein do you use?
When we use whey protein in our products, we use the best which is an Australian grass-fed whey protein from sourced from dairies in Warrnambool, Victoria. We are proud to source our whey proteins locally as they are the cleanest whey proteins available on the market.
There are alternatives that many manufacturers use (especially in the protein supplement space) including whey proteins from the USA however they include growth hormones such as rbST that are not acceptable in our clean, natural products.
If we won't eat it, why would we sell it!
For more information click here - https://lovepbco.com/why-we-use-australian-whey-protein-in-our-protein-bread/
Does your nutrition panel (macro's) include the eggs and milk?
Yes!
It really helps to know what you are eating and how it helps you achieve your nutrition goals.
That's why we go above and beyond what the Food Standards in Australia New Zealand ask for and break down our nutrition panel as follows:
Nutrients - This is the nutrient breakdown including protein, carbohydrates and fats
Quantity per serving - This is per serve of the product made as directed. This includes milk, eggs and other ingredients included in the recipe on the pouch.
Quantity per 100g of finished product - Although not compulsory, we have included this line as it helps many customers understand the % of proteins, carbs and fats they can include as part of their daily intake. We're proud of the nutrition of our products and how they help everyone achieve better health
Quantity per 100 g of dry mix - This column really helps to show how amazing our products and ingredients are without anything else added :) So eat with confidence that you're helping power a better you!
When it comes to nutrition, we're proud of what we're giving to our community because its food we want to eat as well :)
Happy baking!
I have an allergy to an ingredient in one of your products?
Allergies are a pain in the butt. We know as guys in the team have them as well. That’s why it’s super important to look at all the ingredients for each product to ensure that they are right for you.
You will see on every product page the following breakdown of the allergens in each product.
As an example, we’re using the allergen statement for our Savoury Muffin Mix and under Ingredients, you will find the following disclosure.
CONTAINS LUPIN, MILK AND SESAME
May contain pieces of other nuts.
This disclosure across all our products is exactly the same as on our packaging and compliant with the standards set under Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
As we disclose all our allergens across all products both on our packaging and our website, we cannot refund or exchange products if they are not right for you.
What we recommend is to make amazing healthy baked goodies for family and friends to bring them on the health journey you are already on :)
Do you use Australian ingredients?
We source the majority of ingredients from Australian farms first because there is nothing cleaner and greener than locally grown. We use Australian ingredients wherever possible however sometimes there simply isn't enough Australian produce available which means we need to source it from other farms that adhere to our strict quality standards. You will find the local Australian origin of many of our ingredients on our pouches.
We're proud of the ingredients we use because, at the end of the day, we eat and love our products knowing they are helping to fuel our success.
If you want to find out more, get in touch with our awesome customer service team at hello@lovepbco.com
We are an ingredient supplier and would love to talk to you.
Thanks for reaching out.
Our innovation team is always on the hunt for new and innovative ingredients. Please note, our preference is to use Australian grown ingredients wherever possible.
If you are interested in working with us, the next steps would be to email through an ingredient/product listing or specification sheets along with the ingredient/product application to ingredients@lovepbco.com
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Our deliveries are made using Australia Post's premium eParcel service. We quote 3-9 Business Days. Expected delivery times to your location, once the parcel has been shipped from our Sydney warehouse, are as follows:
Sydney Metro - 1-3 Business Days
NSW Country areas - 1-4 Business Days
Metro: Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra - 2-4 Business Days
Metro: Adelaide, Hobart - 3-5 Business Days
VIC/SA/QLD Country areas - 3-6 Business Days
Metro: Perth, Darwin - 4-6 Business Days
WA/NT/TAS Country Areas - 5-9 Business Days
Please note that these timeframes are averages based on our experience with Australia Post and can sometimes take longer than even we like..
These expected shipping times can vary during peak periods so please give yourself plenty of time if you are ordering a gift or require amazing foods for a specific date. And if you feel these shipping times are a bit long for what you need, we recommend that you select Express Shipping at the checkout so you don’t become hangry.
How much is shipping in Australia?
Yes, we have had to change our pricing structure for shipping as we ensure that we can get our products to you as quickly and safely as possible.
We have two shipping options being:
Standard Shipping
Our standard shipping is parcel mail with tracking for anyone with an Australian delivery address. All standard shipping is processed by Australia Post’s premium E-parcel service.
Shipping Pricing
For orders over $45 - Free eParcel Shipping
For orders at or under $45 - $9 Shipping per order
Express shipping at or under $45 - $12 Shipping per order
Want to understand why we have introduced a shipping charge for small orders?
It comes down to replacement orders and customer satisfaction. To date, we have been sending small parcels by Australia Post’s standard mail service however as 1 in every 10 items mailed were going missing, we couldn’t justify continuing to replace lost orders and having unhappy customers.
Especially when these orders couldn’t be tracked and we couldn’t communicate in a way we would like to you, our customers! A change was needed for the better to make everyone happier :)

Why don't you ship to my country?
If you're not in Australia or New Zealand, we can't ship our products to you just yet. If you have any friends or family in Australia, you can always send it to their address then get them to forward it onto you. Make sure to check with the customs of your country as these vary a lot and we'd hate for your order to get sent back to your friend! (Although they'd probably love it)
Why do you charge for shipping?
It comes down to replacement orders and customer satisfaction.
To date, we have been sending small parcels by Australia Post’s standard mail service however as 1 in every 10 items mailed were going missing, we couldn’t justify continuing to replace lost orders and having unhappy customers. Especially when these orders couldn’t be tracked and we couldn’t communicate in a way we would like to you, our customers! A change was needed for the better to make everyone happier :)
What this means is that we have increased the free shipping threshold to $39 with a small charge of $6 for orders underneath this threshold. We want to continue supporting you our customers with the best service possible and believe that this helps us to do it with a minimum of cost on everyone.
Are customs duties and VAT / GST payable for New Zealand deliveries?
Different countries have different rules for the importation of products.
This may mean that you are liable for customs charges, taxes including VAT or GST and brokerage costs. In the event that an order is assessed for customs duties and taxes to be charged it will be held and either the relevant Customs Authorities or our customer service team will be in contact to advise on the required process.
These charges are the responsibility of the recipient and we will not reimburse customers for these import costs or provide a refund or credit for any order if a customer refuses to pay them or accept delivery. It also may not be possible to return the goods if payment is refused as they will become the property of the relevant customs authority.If you need to make a larger order then please contact our customer service team to discuss possible arrangements.
Why is there a re-delivery fee on my parcel?
If this is a mistake or error on our behalf, we will get in touch to confirm your address and contact details and re-send your parcel without charge.
Where the return of the parcel was as a result of something we weren’t responsible for, such as it wasn’t picked up from the post office or it had the wrong address on it, we need to charge a re-delivery to account for the additional shipping costs to get the parcel to.
The re-delivery fee is $10 in Australia and accounts for the cost of Australia Post returning the parcel to us plus the resending of the parcel to you.
For international orders, the re-delivery fee is $35 that accounts for the cost of the international couriers returning the parcel to us plus the resending of the parcel to you.
Our customer service team will be in touch if your parcel is returned to us to ensure it arrives at its intended destination, quickly, safely and with love.
Tracking Your Parcel
You can follow the progress of your parcel using the Tracking Code emailed to you in the Shipping Notification when your order has shipped from our warehouse.

If your shipping address is correct and you have not received your package or a delivery attempted notification card within the average delivery time frame (see Expected delivery times here) then please contact our awesome customer service team by calling 02 9558 3300 Monday - Friday, 8am - 4pm Sydney time or emailing at hello@lovepbco.com
Can I select Authority to Leave for my delivery
Yes, you can select Authority to Leave when you go through the online checkout as a shipping option. However, it is our strong preference that you sign for your parcel to ensure it is received safely as we don’t like missing parcels either.
We don’t accept liability for parcels that go missing after being delivered to your address where Authority to Leave (or safe drop) has been selected. That’s why we recommend Signature on Delivery (our default option) as that’s the only way to ensure you will receive your parcel and it won’t go missing.
As an alternative, we recommend another delivery address, such as a business address to ensure the parcel arrives safely at its destination.
Deliveries over $70 in value will automatically require a signature on receipt.
Australia Post as a matter of policy will take a photo of the location where the parcel is dropped to prove delivery has occurred. It’s unfortunate but sometimes we have to deal with scammers as well :(
