Delivery & Returns
There are no disruptions to the network at this time.
Australian Gourmet Gifts offer FREE DELIVERY on all orders over $60 to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and most major destinations in Australia. In relation to the despatch of orders:
- Orders placed before 11:00 am EST are usually despatched on the same business day. Orders placed after 11:00 am EST are despatched on the next business day.
- We do not despatch orders on weekends or during Public Holidays.
However, there is a $9.95 delivery fee to certain regional/remote destinations where the delivery charges are too high for us to absorb in total. This will be automatically calculated in your shopping cart. The Post Codes that will attract the $9.95 delivery fee are:

PLEASE ENSURE ALL ORDER DETAILS ARE CORRECT WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER.
We're really quick at packing all orders, and our real-time dispatch system will process all orders instantly, without exception. This means we will have your hampers delivered as soon as possible, however, we can't make any changes once you've placed your order, including changes to the delivery address, delivery option, and greeting card message. All your order details and delivery tracking information will be sent to you once your order is placed. Australian Gourmet Gifts deliver hampers Australia wide, irrespective of how remote the location. We take great care to ensure that hampers arrive safe and undamaged, by using more than adequate packaging and selecting the most reputable and reliable freight and courier companies. All our hampers are generally despatched on the same business day, and arrive within a few business days depending on the destination. Australian Gourmet Gifts conscientiously work towards the best possible delivery service for our customers.
Standard and Premium Express deliveries to residential addresses are sent by contracted courier companies. If the recipient of the Gift Hamper is not home, and there is no safe place to leave the hamper, then the hamper will be directed to the nearest post office for collection. A collection card will be left at the recipient's address with all the information. This way, in addition to the hampers being directed to a safe place, there are no additional re-direction costs.
We do not guarantee next day delivery on the Premium Air-Express Delivery Option. We dispatch all hampers on the day of the order and almost always the hampers are delivered on the next business day. However, deliveries to really remote destinations may take an extra day or two. Also, during peak times, there may be some additional delays because of several factors that are totally out of our control, such as delays by our delivery companies.
Our delivery companies usually deliver Monday to Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Australia Wide. They usually do not deliver on weekends and they do not accept specified time deliveries (e.g. deliver at 10:30 am).
Australian Gourmet Gifts is not responsible for an incorrect address provided, or if the recipient no longer lives at the stated address. However, we are always more than willing to assist our customers in resolving such unfortunate situations.
Australian Gourmet Gifts Hampers are safely packaged in a very durable cardboard outer box to ensure the hampers arrive safe and undamaged. If a hamper is damaged in transit, we will gladly replace it.

Defective merchandise may be returned to Australian Gourmet Gifts within 14 days of the original purchase date. Australian Gourmet Gifts requires valid identification when processing all returns and exchanges without an original receipt. Valid identification is also required to receive or redeem a non-transferable merchandise certificate or mail check.

This is because we incur additional costs for the return delivery of the hampers and the disposal of perishable items in the hampers.

This fee may be presented to your bank electronically or submitted via a paper draft.
