Our couriers will not require a signature on a hand held device, instead they will be taking the name of the person accepting the hamper. Where possible the courier will leave the parcel on the door step before knocking and stepping away to leave a safe distance between your recipient and themselves. This ensures your hamper still gets delivered safely to the right recipient.

If your recipient is unable to come to the door the courier will leave a calling card with instructions on how to rearrange delivery. If you are able to provide a mobile phone number for your recipient they will be able to rearrange delivery on their smartphone.

To aid prompt delivery please provide a mobile telephone number for your recipient whenever possible.

The courier network is extremely busy but is continuing to provide a timely service. We will extend delivery lead times for the UK, which you will see from the ‘earliest delivery date' on each hamper, if the situation changes.

Your hamper will be dispatched on a 24 hour express service and we will do our utmost to deliver on the date you have requested, however if you're purchasing for a special occasion where possible we recommend selecting a delivery date prior to the date of the occasion in case of any delivery delays caused by localised COVID-19.

We only use the very best international couriers for overseas delivery and generally international delivery timescales and service levels remain unaffected. For some international destinations, where pockets of ‘lock-downs' are more severe there may be a slight delay until the couriers can attempt delivery.

We will do our utmost to deliver on or just before your requested delivery date. If you're purchasing for a special occasion where possible we recommend selecting a delivery date prior to the date of the occasion in case of any delivery delays caused by localised COVID-19.

Our experienced international delivery customer service team are actively monitoring all international shipments and are available to help should you have any queries.
