Frequently Asked Questions

What time will my order arrive?Top

Hampers are delivered between 9am and 5pm to business addresses and between 9am and 7pm to residential addresses. Our delivery drivers pick up throughout the day, and generally the sooner you have your order in, the sooner it is likely to reach it's destination, though some further areas may arrive later in the day. We cannot guarantee specific delivery times, though we do offer an express (by noon) option available for most suburbs in case you would like your delivery to be prioritised and delivered by 12pm noon.

What day will my order arrive?Top

Your order will arrive on the delivery date you specify when placing an order, providing there are no delivery problems such as an incorrect address, there is no one available to accept delivery, or there is no-where safe to leave the delivery.

Do you offer same day delivery?Top

Yes, if you place your order by our cut off time at 2pm we can have your order out that same day to most metro Melbourne suburbs. Please note, some suburbs require an earlier cut off time due to distance - you can view more info about delivery times and cut off times on our delivery page.

Can I arrange a specific delivery time?Top

Sorry, we cannot guarantee a certain specific time for delivery, though we will try our best to accommodate any requests, for example, if you would like your delivery to be sent late afternoon please advise us in the 'special delivery instructions' field on checkout and we will send your order with the last courier run.

If you would like to have your order delivered before 12pm noon please choose the 'express' option on checkout.

What delivery method do you use?Top

We use specialist couriers with temperature controlled vehicles for our deliveries, each delivery is hand delivered to your recipients door or place of business.

As much relevant information as possible is the best way to ensure prompt delivery. Flat numbers, business name if applicable, ward/room number for hospital deliveries etc. are all very useful for our couriers. There is a 'special delivery instructions' field on checkout that you can use for any extra delivery information that you think may be relevant, such as: 'main entrance is at back door, watch out for the dog!, please call (phone number) if any problems'.
