  We offer a Next Working Day Delivery service, or you can choose to have your gift delivered on a Specific Date in the future. For your peace of mind, gifts are sent via a fully trackable, signed for courier service. Delivery is available Monday to Friday during working hours. We ask customers to please bare in mind the contents of the basket when choosing their preferred delivery day e.g. those containing fresh fruit, fresh foods or flowers are not suited for delivery on a Monday.

  Next Working Day Delivery £9.99 ensures delivery on the next possible working day. The order deadline for next working day delivery is 3pm GMT Mon - Fri. Orders placed after this time, at weekends and on Bank Holidays will be processed on the next possible working day for delivery on the following working day. More remote locations (see remote area postcodes below) may take an extra day.

  Specific Day Delivery £7.99 If you wish to order ahead of time for Christmas, a Birthday, Anniversary or special occasion such as Mothers or Father's Day, you can choose a date in the future. To use this service simply select the Standard 2/3 Day delivery option at checkout, and pick your required date from the calendar.

  We regret that delivery at specific times, or at weekends and Bank Holidays is not possible.

  We're trialling a Saturday Delivery option (£23.50) for UK delivery addresses. The calender won't let you pick a Saturday date presently, but we will simply go by the 'Saturday Delivery' option you will need to pick. Please place orders before 3pm GMT on Friday if you require Saturday delivery.

• Delivery Information Requirements

  Please ensure that you have provided us with the 2 following pieces of information, as we may be unable to fulfill your order without it:

  • Recipient's Telephone number

    To assist our courier in the event of delivery difficulties. The receipient will only be telephoned if there are problems making delivery. 99% of our baskets are sent as gifts. We do not contact the recipient unless there is a problem. Where possible we ask that you include a landline and mobile telephone number. NB* A local telephone number must be provided for the recipient. Couriers companies will not contact make international calls if delivery problems are encountered. Eg. An Irish courier will not attempt to make contact if a UK telephone number is provided. Irish Gourmet is not responsible for failed deliveries due to the provision of a non local telephone number.

  • Correct Delivery Address, including Postcode (Zipcode)

    Post codes are vital. If the postcode is incorrect, or left out, delivery WILL be delayed. To assist you we have included a free postcode finder option at checkout.

    *With the exception of Dublin, no postcode is necessary for Southern Ireland addresses.

• What happens if no-one is at home when delivery is attempted?

  All deliveries will require a signature on delivery – where possible we recommend delivery to a work address to ensure the recipient is in. The courier companies are unable to "leave round the back" or "on doorstep" if no-one is at home. In the event of no-one being at the address to take receipt of the gift, our courier will leave a calling card which gives information on how to re-arrange free re-delivery, or how to collect the gift from their nearest delivery depot. At this point it becomes the responsibility of the recipient to arrange for the collection or delivery of their parcel.

  As delivery is not made by ourselves we are unable to carry out delivery instructions such as “deliver after 4pm” or “telephone ahead before attempting delivery.” All parcels must be signed for. Please ensure someone will be at the delivery address to provide a signature.

• Order Tracking

  Shortly after your gift has been despatched you will receive a confirmation email which will include your parcel tracking number. This will enable you to track your delivery via the courier’s website.

• Perishable Items

  All smoked salmon and cooked meats are vacuum packed and freshly prepared on the date of despatch. We incorporate gourmet chilled food parcels so that everything remains cool in transit. Baskets containing fresh produce or fresh fruit will not be dispatched on Friday, as the next available delivery date is not until Monday. There is the option to substitute fresh fruits with sundried fruits for Monday delivery - we will contact you via email and offer this option.

• Delivery to Hospitals and Hotels

  Deliveries to a hotel or hospital address may not be personally delivered to the requested recipient by our courier as many deliveries which are made to hotels or hospitals are made to a central delivery point such as the main reception, the concierge or the post room (central delivery point). Regrettably, it is impossible for us to be responsible for the actions of staff members within the hotel or hospital where delivery is being made. Our part in the delivery process has been completed once a gift has been delivered to and received by a member of the staff at the central delivery point. We are unable to influence or control the movement or rate of movement of a parcel within the hotel or hospital, especially to determine or guarantee how quickly they will be received by the recipient. It is the responsibility of the customer to telephone the hotel or hospital before ordering to inquire about their policies. Although we will try to help locate a gift which has not been received by the recipient within a hotel or hospital, we consider the limit of our guarantee and involvement finishes on proof of delivery to the central delivery point, not the recipient.

• Christmas Delivery

  We are unable to offer 24 hr turnaround at Christmas time due to very high demand. Orders will be processed & dispatched as quickly as possible. You will be updated on your order status by email regularly.

  We endeavour to dispatch orders within 24 hours of receipt (on week days only). Orders must be received by 3pm to guarantee next day delivery.

  Once your order has been dispatched we will notify you by email of. You will also receive a parcel tracking number which can be used to trace your parcel via the courier’s website.

  All orders require a signature on delivery. It is the senders responsibilty 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. If not collected within 3 days, parcels are returned to us. A redelivery charge will be made to deliver again at twice the original delivery cost, as we are charged for the return and redelivery of all parcels. If redelivery is requested the purchaser will also be charged for any perishable items which have become unsuitable for sale and need replaced eg. fresh fruit, cheeses, meats.

  All orders must include a contact telephone number for the recipient. We will not be held liable for failed deliveries, as a result of our courier being unable to contact the recipient directly.

  Due to the perishable nature of goods please note all customers are liable for any refused deliveries (unless goods are damaged).

  If for any reason, a hamper needs to be returned to us, please note the customer can be held liable for any shipping/courier charges incurred. In the event of a parcel being returned to us we will refund the cost of your order. If an error has been made, or an incomplete address or telephone number has been given, the cost of shipping, together with the same cost for return of the parcel back to us, and possibly further restocking charges will be deducted from the total value of your order.

  Basketsgalore reserves the right to refund up to 50% of the original order value in the event of non delivery due to the following reasons: Incorrect or incomplete address or recipient information supplied by the purchaser. If the recipient specified by the customer refuses to accept the parcel. Our courier attempts delivery and a signatory is not present. For hard to locate addresses, our courier attempts to make contact with the receipients by telephone to ask for directions, without success.

  We will do our utmost to make sure that all orders are fulfilled and delivered within the timeframe specified but should events outside our control prevent this we will contact you by email and arrange alternatives. If we are unable to fulfil your order, for any reason, a refund for all monies already paid will be made to the credit/debit card used.

  As delivery is made by a 3rd party carrier we cannot be held responsible for delays caused by the postal system. We regret that while we will do our utmost to make sure that all deliveries are fulfilled within the timeframe specified, should events outside our control prevent this happening we are not liable for any failed deliveries. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

Over the remainder of the year we will do everything in our power to deliver on the day requested.
