We also deliver to selected other countries outside the EU such as Norway & Switzerland. We just advise that Customs in these countries may add an import fee on to release the parcel for delivery upon arrival and unfortunately we have no control over these costs. We send parcels marked as gifts however to give them the best chance of clearing first time.

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 recipient will only be telephoned if there are problems making delivery. We do not contact the recipient unless there is a problem. Where possible we ask that you include both a direct mobile telephone number and a land line for the recipient.

NB* A local telephone number must be provided for the recipient. Couriers companies will not 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. Basketsgalore is not responsible for failed deliveries due to the provision of a non local telephone number, a non functioning telephone number, or if you have included your own telephone number instead.

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?

Please note- during the pandemic deliveries have become contactless. Couriers will generally knock & then leave the parcel at the door/safe place. They may take a photograph to confirm where it was left.

The information below applies to normal circumstances.

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 shipped you will receive a confirmation dispatch email. You can then log into your account on our website to track the delivery progress. You will see a track my order link to the couriers website & the tracking code will be automatically populated. Should you notice any problems such as "address info needed" please email us for assistance providing your order number as a reference.

Useful Courier Contact Information

You can also contact the delivery company directly for an update on your parcel. Simply log into your BasketsGalore account to view your tracking information. You will need to quote your tracking number as a reference.

How will my gift basket arrive/presentation?

All our Gift Baskets & Hampers are beautifully sealed, hand wrapped, and delivered with utmost care, find out more from our Basket Presentation page

Fresh Fruit, or Perishable Food orders

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/perishable 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 Companies, 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.

Delivery terms & conditions

We endeavour to dispatch orders within 24 hours of receipt (week days only January to November). Orders must be received by 3.30pm to guarantee next day delivery.

Once your order has been dispatched we will notify you by email. 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 responsibility to ensure a signatory is at the delivery address to take receipt of the parcel. The courier will not be able to "leave safe" or "with a neighbour". 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, or if no delivery arrangements are made within 3 days, parcels will be returned to us. Should you wish for a new delivery attempt to be made, it will be necessary for a new delivery charge to be applied, and charges will be applied 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.

If for any reason, an order needs to be returned, please note that 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 following deductions will be made from your total order value: shipping costs, return to sender fees, and perishable contents costs.

Baskets Galore reserves the right to refund up to 50% of the original order value in the event of non delivery due to the following reasons: If incorrect or incomplete address/ recipient information has been supplied by the purchaser. If the recipient specified by the customer refuses to accept the parcel. If our courier attempts delivery, and a signatory is not present. If our courier attempts to make contact with the recipients by telephone to ask for directions, without success.

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

We will do our utmost to make sure that all orders are fulfilled and delivered within the time-frame specified but should events outside our control prevent this we will contact you by email and arrange alternatives. If we are unable to fulfill 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 time-frame 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.

Frequently asked delivery questions
Q: Can I place an order now but select a later delivery date? I want to order a hamper now but I don't need it delivered right away? A: Yes. There is a place on the order form where you can enter your preferred delivery date which can be anytime in the future. Q: If I don't want my basket to arrive in 24 Hours or in 2/3 Days why does it still cost £9.99 (GBP) Why does it not cost less? A: This is our lowest post & packaging charge. It covers the delivery, insurance, packaging materials, gift card, gift wrap & decoration, and our presentation delivery carton. We don't hide the delivery cost by charging an over-inflated price for our gift baskets or hampers, as some companies do. Delivery can never be free - and our customers appreciate this. What we do offer is the best quality and value for money gift baskets and hampers in the UK & Ireland. Q: Will my order be delivered in 24 hours during December? A: Due to the immense volume of orders at Christmas time we are not able to offer a 24 hour turnaround. We will be dispatching hundreds of order every week-day, and will do everything in our power to deliver as close to your requested delivery date as possible. We will notify you of the delivery date, and send you a tracking code via email. Q: Will you always deliver on the date requested? A: We will always do our utmost to deliver on the date requested from January-November. If we are unable to do so we will contact you. During the Christmas period we will endeavor to deliver on the date requested. However, due to the large demand for our service at this time of year we may opt to deliver prior to the date requested so that any problems can be remedied before Christmas Day. Over the remainder of the year we will do everything in our power to deliver on the day requested. Q:What happens if the recipient isn't at home? A: All orders require a signature on delivery. It is the senders responsibility 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. Q: How do you package perishables such as smoked salmon, cheese and meats? I am worried about it going off in transit. A: All our smoked salmon and meats are vacuum packed and freshly prepared on the date of dispatch. We incorporate gourmet chilled food parcels so that everything remains cool in transit. If you are concerned or have queries not addressed here, please call us on +44 (0)203 865 1878 or email us customerservices@irishgourmet.co.uk
