HAMPER & GIFT BASKET CONTENTS

Every effort is made to strictly conform with the hamper description and quality. However in the event of a hamper item not being available from our local suppliers, we reserve the right to substitute the item for an upgraded product of equal or greater value.

PHOTOGRAPHS

We have made all reasonable efforts to ensure each photograph accurately reflects the product being sold. On occasions, there may be minor differences between the product's appearance in the photograph and the item delivered due to manufacturing changes beyond our control.

GIFTS UNAVAILABLE FOR DESPATCH

If an item is out of stock, the sender will be notified as soon as possible and will have the option of 1) awaiting stock availability, 2) selecting an alternative gift or 3) being given a full refund.

SHIPPING

Your order is processed by gifts.ie the moment it is received. Prices of individual items typically do not include delivery charges except where indicated. We employ third-party courier services to deliver your gifts and hampers. Although we provide an indication of typical delivery times, specific delivery times or dates cannot be guaranteed. Claims for non-delivery must be made within 20 days.

For orders being shipped outside the Republic of Ireland, gifts.ie cannot be held responsible for importation taxes/duty charges.

All address information must be accurate including the postcode where appropriate and the recipient's telephone number. gifts.ie cannot accept responsibility for late or non-delivery if the recipient's address and telephone details are insufficient or incorrect. The goods shall be deemed to have been delivered when the courier obtains receipt of the goods confirmation from any person at that address.

It is the customer's duty to ensure that someone will be home to sign for the gift, which will be delivered by third party couriers. Where the courier is unable to find a person to accept delivery, a calling card will be left for the recipient to contact the courier and arrange to pick-up from the local depot or agree an alternative delivery time or alternative location at the discretion of the courier. If the recipient fails to make contact in good time, the goods are returned to gifts.ie and a charge will be made for re-delivery to the original or an alternative address. The purchaser will also be charged for any items which have become unsuitable for sale and need replacing (perishable items such as cheese and fruit which have short shelf lives).
