Some items can be kept for many months, but some require immediate consumption & refrigeration; these include but are not limited to cheese, fruit, bread, meats & fish. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure the recipient is aware that the gift should be opened immediately if it contains perishable goods. We cannot accept liability for spoiled products if the items in the order are not stored in the correct manner once delivered.
Allergens
Please note that that food items may contain allergens such as nuts, egg, milk & gluten.
In addition, you must be aware that our hampers are stored and packaged in environments in which nuts may be present. Details of ingredients of any item are as supplied by the manufacturer, are shown on manufacturers' packaging and/or on our website(s) and are available on request.
Alcohol
Many of our gifts contain alcohol, therefore the minimum age to order from hampers.com is 18 years of age regardless of the contents. Where the gift contains alcohol, the recipient of the delivery must be over 18 years old. We may also require proof of age to be supplied by the person accepting delivery of the goods.
It is an offence for an under 18 year old to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor under the Licensing Act 2003.
Delivery
We aim to deliver our goods to UK addresses the next working day if ordered prior to our cut off time (4pm for standard delivery.) We also offer upgraded and premium delivery services which may include an additional premium, where we may give you the option of choosing or indicating a day for delivery. However, neither hampers.com nor our carriers guarantee any time or date of delivery: there are sometimes events beyond our control that may affect the delivery date and normal transit times.
Where a preferred delivery date has been selected using the services mentioned above we will do everything we reasonably can to arrange delivery on the date requested and we have a very high success rate in achieving delivery on customers’ preferred date. We do however recommend that you select a preferred delivery date allowing for any possible delays, including the recipient not being home when delivery is attempted.
Our third party contracted carriers may give the recipient additional delivery options via text or calling card. hampers.com are not responsible for any changes or agreements relating to deliveries made between the recipient and a courier that were not part of the original order.
The couriers will normally make up to 3 delivery attempts and then, subject to holding the parcel for a limited time, will send it back to hampers.com. If we are then requested by you to re-send or redirect the goods, there may be additional charges and an administration fee payable by you. If the goods were perishable, we will be unable to resend or redeliver them.
In the event of non-delivery due to an incorrect address or other recipient information supplied by you, or if the recipient refuses to accept the parcel, hampers.com reserves the right to charge an administration fee and additional delivery cost for re-directing or arranging return or re-sending the order.
We will refund the cost to the purchaser of returning any item if the item was faulty or damaged prior to delivery.
We offer delivery tracking on all orders from despatch to delivery. Where available, this tracking information is updated regularly by our couriers and will be provided to you by email, text message (or, if you have one, via your hampers.com account). .
hampers.com will always do our best to ensure we have up to date delivery information, however we cannot guarantee accuracy or availability of delivery tracking information as we rely on third parties for this information.
For deliveries to universities, colleges, work addresses etc., please be aware that the driver is required only to deliver to the address on the label – not directly to the recipient. We cannot be held responsible for delays between the parcel being delivered to the address and being received by the recipient. Delivery to these locations (and other commercial locations) is not available on non-working days.
Please check that hospitals will allow deliveries of food, drink or flowers to the relevant ward and ensure the ward details are entered when completing the address details. For deliveries to blocks of flats, it is important that the driver can gain access for a card to be left or to attempt delivery. Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange delivery to PO Box or BFPO addresses or similar.
Remote or regional addresses will take longer to deliver to than city locations, so please allow up to 7 working days for delivery to these addresses. hampers.com will not be liable for any compensation or refunds claimed for not meeting specific delivery date as these are given as a guide only.
VAT
For purchases under these Terms, applicable VAT is included in the price paid by you on hampers despatched by hampers.com.
