Will my parcel be charged customs & import taxes?

In most cases, any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. You may be charged for handling fees and taxes as your order passes through customs.

Any charges on a parcel must be paid by the person receiving the parcel (recipient) & not the sender. IRVINS has no control over these charges and we can’t tell you what the cost would be as it varies widely from country to country nor do we have a price range estimate.

Why are you not shipping to my country?

Due to the local customs regulations in some countries, we are only able to extend deliveries to certain countries. However, we are constantly trying to keep ourselves updated should there be a change in the regulations.

What if I want to order more than 20 pouches?

Currently, our maximum order volume is 20 units per international order. If you require more, you would need to place multiple orders in. Do note that each order will be charged its own shipping fees.

No. All orders, once submitted, are final. If your delivery fails on the first attempt, DHL will contact the recipient & you would have to update them accordingly.

The shelf life for our snacks ranges from 4-12 months. We recommend you consume IRVINS snacks within 1 week after opening. Always reseal the pouch tightly and store in a cool dry place.

Why are some snacks not available?

If the product listing shows “Out of stock”, this means that we are working hard to replenish that product as soon as possible, as there is no available stock remaining in our storage facilities.

If the product listing is non-existent, this could be because of:
1. Shelf life requirements we set before we allow a product to go international
2. Distribution restrictions we have for that particular territory
If in doubt, please reach out to us atsg@eatirvins.com.

What is Salted Egg?

Salted egg is the main ingredient in our premium homestyle recipe. We use high quality salted duck egg yolk which is a Chinese specialty made by curing duck eggs in brine or salted charcoal.

What is “Hot Boom”?

Hot Boom refers to the spicy versions of our salted egg snacks. If you’re looking for a kick, try our Spicy Salted Egg Potato Chips and Spicy Salted Egg Cassava Chips.

What makes IRVINS the original and best Salted Egg snack?

IRVINS Salted Egg snacks originated in Singapore from Irvins Live Seafood Restaurant back in 2008. Founder Irvin Gunawan quickly realized the popularity of the Dangerously Addictive snacks and began expanding across Singapore, and eventually overseas. Our salted egg snacks are formulated by expert chefs in Singapore, using the best ingredients such as real salted egg yolk, aromatic curry leaves, and vibrant chili peppers.

Do your snacks contain any known allergens?

Our snacks contain egg, milk, soy, wheat, and tree nut. Snacks are produced in a factory where fish products are also handled.

Are your snacks gluten-free?

No. Our snacks contain wheat.

Are your snacks vegetarian or vegan?

No. Our snacks contain salted egg and milk.

Why does it seem like my chips are all broken/crushed?

If you'll notice in our pictures, our chips are actually purposefully in those bits because we lovingly hand-mix our chips with real salted egg and other chef-crafted ingredients, then bake them right into the chip (as opposed to other brands who just "spray" a powdered flavoring onto the chip). This extra special care into flavoring our chips is what makes IRVINS so #DangerouslyAddictive. In fact, we even recommend you give your bag an extra good shake to properly distribute all the salted egg goodness before you dig in.

How do I place an international delivery order out of Singapore?
