Corporate order FAQs

Do I have to order all my corporate hampers through the website?

No. If you’re ordering less than 10 corporate hampers, you’ll find it most efficient to order through our website.
 

Or if you’d rather order your corporate gifts over the phone you can call us on 01522 581 581 (9am-5pm Mon-Fri).
 

If you’re ordering more than 10 corporate hamper gifts, we welcome you to get in touch with our Corporate Experience Team who can help you place your order.
 

They will provide you with a CSV Excel sheet, which you can add all your corporate hamper choices, recipient addresses and gift messages too.
 

The team will then process your order and send you an invoice for payment.
 

Our aim is to make your corporate hamper ordering experience as enjoyable and efficient as possible.
 

I would like to send various hampers to multiple recipients. Can I place this on one order?

Yes. If you’re wondering where to buy corporate gifts for multiple recipients, you can rest assured that we’ll make the process easy.
 

You can either order your corporate hampers through the website or you can get in touch with our Corporate Experience Team on 01522 581 581 or corporate@britishhamper.com, who will place the order for you.
 

If you choose to order your corporate gifts through the website, you’ll be able to fill your cart with various hamper types – you do not need to stick to one type.
 

Once all your chosen gift hampers are in the cart, you’ll be able to add your delivery addresses and then assign each hamper to each delivery address.
 

If you choose to place your order with our Corporate Experience Team, they’ll provide you with a CSV Excel sheet for you to input all your hamper choices and delivery addresses.
 

They’ll then process the order for you and send an invoice.

Do you offer corporate gifts with branding?

Yes, whether you’re sending corporate gifts to employees or corporate gifts for clients, we offer branding on all our corporate hampers for delivery to the UK and non-EU countries.

We unfortunately can’t offer corporate branding on gift hampers to the EU. This is because our EU hampers are dispatched from our Netherlands hub which does not have the ability to add branding.

Company branding is an exceptionally popular option for corporate gifts as it reinforces your brand and leaves your clients and employees with a lasting positive impression.

So if you’re looking for corporate gift ideas, consider a branded corporate hamper. We offer corporate hampers with branded sleeves, branded gift cards, branded hang tags, branded ribbon and more. Branded ribbon is the most popular choice!

There is also the opportunity to include your own branded merchandise in our corporate hampers if you send it to us. Popular items include mugs, keyrings and notebooks.

Please get in touch with our Corporate Experience Team today with your requirements so that they can efficiently help. You can reach them at corporate@britishhamper.com or +44 (0) 1522 581 581 (9am-5pm UK time).

Do you offer custom corporate gifts?

Yes, like with branded corporate gifts, we also offer the opportunity to create custom corporate hampers.
 

You’re welcome to get in touch with our Corporate Experience Team on 01522 581 581 or corporate@britishhamper.com who will ask for your budget, preferences, and hamper delivery destinations. They will then build a bespoke hamper to suit your requirements.
 

The opportunity to build your own hamper is great for corporate customers as it allows you to create a hamper that is tailored to an individual or an event. This makes them exceptionally memorable, unique corporate gifts for clients and customers!

Do you offer corporate discounts?

Yes, though our philosophy is to price fairly from the outset to make sure our corporate hampers are of exceptional value, we can offer discount for large orders.
 

We can also offer corporate discounts for customers that have regular order requirements. Many companies that send regular retirement gifts, maternity hampers, birthday gifts and client gifts are offered a discount as well as a complimentary Business Account.
 

We welcome you to get in touch with our Corporate Experience Team on 01522 581 581 or corporate@britishhamper.com with your requirements so that we can help.
 

You can also view our custom corporate hamper page here.

Can you send alcohol corporate gifts abroad?

Unfortunately we’re unable to send alcohol gifts abroad. At The British Hamper Company we specialise in international gift delivery by ensuring we provide an efficient, reliable service.

Including alcohol in gift hampers can cause delay at customs and increases the risk of failed delivery and additional taxes.

Because we prioritise customer experience, we only send gift hampers that we know are safe for international gift delivery and will be delivered without hassle, delay or extra fees.

Our hampers for delivery overseas contain ambient food, non-alcoholic drinks such as tea and coffee and they do not contain alcohol.

If you specifically require alcohol delivered overseas, we strongly recommend sourcing a gift locally in the country you’re sending to in order to avoid issues with customs and delivery.

Do you deliver corporate gift hampers into the EU?

Yes. After Brexit, we opened a hub in the Netherlands which allows us to efficiently resume corporate hamper delivery into the EU again.
 

Our corporate hampers are UK made at our HQ in Lincolnshire and are sent via our Netherlands hub for onward international gift delivery.
 

Our EU gift delivery varies between 2 to 5 days and all corporate gift baskets are sent via our trusted courier, DHL.
 

All corporate hampers EU delivered are sent on an Express Tracked Service so that you can monitor delivery as well as us.
 

We also pre-pay all customs taxes and fees so that you nor your recipients will receive an unexpected bill.

Are your corporate gifts taxable?

Yes, tax is included on the website prices of the corporate hampers UK delivered.
 

Corporate hampers are taxed on their contents – some of which may be standard rated and some zero rated. This means that the hampers are mixed rated.
 

If you’d like the ex-vat prices of any of the hampers on our website, you’re welcome to get in touch with our Corporate Experience Team on 01522 581 581 or corporate@britishhamper.com who can advise further.

Are your corporate gifts environmentally friendly?

We’re constantly improving our corporate sustainability to make sure our corporate hampers are environmentally friendly, sustainable gifts.
 

We have now removed all bubble wrap from our hampers which has saved 40,000m2 of plastic a year! The glass jars and bottles inside our corporate hampers are wrapped in a high quality, recyclable cardboard sleeve which is visually appealing, protective, and sustainable.
 

Our traditional wicker hampers and British box hampers are recyclable. Aside from the fact they’re recyclable hampers, they’re also reusable hampers and we get a huge amount of feedback from customers and recipients letting us know what they’re now using their empty gift hampers for!
 

The vanilla paper shred within the hampers is also recycle and we make sure to design our export hampers to make the most of volumetric capacity.
 

We also partner with DHL International who have pledged to invest EUR 7 billion by 2030 in clean operations to reduce their emissions by 4 million tonnes.

What rate VAT do you charge please?

Our food hampers are mixed rate VAT rather than zero or standard rated.

Each hamper has a different VAT level based on the contents within each food hamper. Some produce within our corporate hampers are zero rated, other items are standard 20% rated.

The standard prices on our website include VAT and UK delivery. To see a hamper without VAT (but still including UK delivery), use the toggle at the top right of the screen to switch to “Prices: Ex. VAT”.

Please note that gift hampers delivered internationally do not include VAT. They do however include customs fees and taxes. To view the price of a gift hamper delivered abroad please change the delivery country after you’ve clicked on a hamper. When you change the delivery country, you’ll notice the price updates to include customs fees and delivery to that country (but no VAT included).

If you have any further questions, please get in touch with our Corporate Experience Team at corporate@britishhamper.com or +44 (0) 1522 581 581 (9am-5pm Mon-Fri UK time).
