There is a small surcharge of £2.00 + VAT per parcel to have a named day service. Saturday service incurs a surcharge of £12.50 + VAT. This is calculated by our online ordering system. For more information please refer to our Terms and Conditions.
Although we try our best to get the "week commencing" deliveries out of our warehouse as early in the week as possible, during our peak times (especially Christmas) we can only guarantee that your hamper will be delivered at some time during the chosen week. However, if you have provided us with your e-mail address at the time of ordering, we will send you a dispatch confirmation e-mail with "Track and Trace" information, as soon as your goods have been dispatched. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the time that your hamper will arrive, but keep in mind most couriers deliver between the hours of 8:00 – 18:00. Should you require your delivery by a specific day during that week select the "named day" option.
Unfortunately not, there are many factors that can cause a delay in delivery, including mis-routing by the courier network, an incorrect or illegible address, adverse weather conditions and much more (on one occasion the courier's van was stolen!). These are rare occurrences and the courier drivers will endeavour to get your parcel to its destination on the day requested.
This will vary depending upon the country of delivery, please contact our office on +44 (0) 1303 235605. Unfortunately we cannot specify a named day for overseas deliveries and we have a limited ability to track the hampers once they have left the UK.
If we have your e-mail address at the time of ordering an e-mail will be sent to you on the evening of dispatch giving you "Track and Trace" information.
Unfortunately not, any changes to the delivery details must be received two days before the expected delivery.

On the rare occasion that a hamper arrives damaged, to enable us to send a replacement, please take a photograph and e-mail it to enquires@spicersofhythe.co.uk along with the order number, batch number (found on the outer box) and recipient address.
On rare occasions we may have to substitute an item for another of equal or greater value due to stock availability or supply issues.
The couriers are instructed not to leave a parcel without a signature. However, if the driver feels there is a safe place to leave the hamper without signature, the driver may do so and leave instructions on a card through the door as to where to find the parcel. If no-one is at home when they try to deliver they will endeavour to leave the hamper with a neighbour. If they are unable to do this, they will leave a card through the door to let the recipient know they tried to deliver and will ask the recipient to call to re-arrange delivery.
As we do not have our own courier service this may vary slightly.
Your message is carried underneath the address label on your parcel. We strongly advise all our customers to include a message so that you will know who has sent you a gift. However, if they decide not to include a card we will simply state “No message”. If that happens, please feel free to give us a call on +44 (0) 1303 235605 and our customer service team will be happy to help. Please ensure you have your consignment number available when you phone.
