Covid-19 (Corona Virus) Update

06 Jan 2021

Last update: 6th January 2021

We want to reassure you The British Hamper Company continues to provide the service you require during this difficult time and is open for online ordering for UK and international delivery.

We are closely monitoring UK government guidance on Covid-19 and are in close contact with our delivery partners and food suppliers to continue ensuring we are providing a safe and timely service to our customers.

Our priority is to continue providing a safe working environment for our staff along with safe and timely delivery of our hampers to our wonderful customers. Further information on our response to Covid-19 can be found below and we will provide updates whenever the situation changes.

We wish you and your loved ones well during this unsettling time.

Ensuring safe delivery

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.

Delivery timescales

As a guide you can view the current anticipated earliest delivery date available for each destination under each hamper.

UK deliveries

The courier network is extremely busy but is continuing to provide a very good 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.

International deliveries

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.

Our experienced international delivery customer service team are actively monitoring all international shipments.

Current delivery delays:

Slight delivery delays may be experienced in some areas of USA and Australia, however the delivery service to other regions and countries remains good.
