Q: Can I place an order now but select a later delivery date? I want to order a hamper now but I don't need it delivered right away?
A: Yes. There is a place on the order form where you can enter your preferred delivery date which can be anytime in the future.
Q: If I don't want my basket to arrive in 24 Hours or in 2/3 Days why does it still cost £9.99 (GBP) Why does it not cost less?
A: This is our lowest post & packaging charge. It covers the delivery, insurance, packaging materials, gift card, gift wrap & decoration, and our presentation delivery carton. We don't hide the delivery cost by charging an over-inflated price for our gift baskets or hampers, as some companies do. Delivery can never be free - and our customers appreciate this. What we do offer is the best quality and value for money gift baskets and hampers in the UK & Ireland.
Q: Will my order be delivered in 24 hours during December?
A: Due to the immense volume of orders at Christmas time we are not able to offer a 24 hour turnaround. We will be dispatching hundreds of order every week-day, and will do everything in our power to deliver as close to your requested delivery date as possible. We will notify you of the delivery date, and send you a tracking code via email.
Q: Will you always deliver on the date requested?
A: We will always do our utmost to deliver on the date requested from January-November. If we are unable to do so we will contact you. During the Christmas period we will endeavor to deliver on the date requested. However, due to the large demand for our service at this time of year we may opt to deliver prior to the date requested so that any problems can be remedied before Christmas Day. Over the remainder of the year we will do everything in our power to deliver on the day requested.
Q:What happens if the recipient isn't at home?
A: All orders require a signature on delivery. It is the senders responsibility to ensure a signatory is at the delivery address to take receipt of the parcel. In the event of no-one being at the address to take receipt of the gift, our courier will leave a card which gives information on how to re-arrange delivery, or how to collect the gift from their nearest delivery depot. At this point it then becomes the responsibility of the recipient to arrange for the collection or delivery of their parcel.
Q: How do you package perishables such as smoked salmon, cheese and meats? I am worried about it going off in transit.
A: All our smoked salmon and meats are vacuum packed and freshly prepared on the date of dispatch. We incorporate gourmet chilled food parcels so that everything remains cool in transit.
