PO Box Delivery
Sorry, we do not deliver to PO Boxes. On occasion a rural courier may leave a parcel at a PO Box if they have things set up with the homeowner to do so, however we cannot address a courier parcel ourselves.
Apartments:
Often couriers find there is no access to apartment buildings or gated communities. If they ring a buzzer to the building and no one answers, the courier will decide if it is safe to leave. If they decide it is unsafe, they will take it back to the courier depot where it will need to be collected.
Please always provide a phone number if sending to an apartment in case your item ends up in problem freight. We strongly recommend avoiding sending gifts to apartments where there is no access. Please send to a place of work, or a friend’s place where a delivery can be left safely without delay given the living nature of your gift.
Courier delivery costs for gifts is calculated on the weight / dimensions / delivery area for the recipient - our single gifts range from $9.50 whilst larger Standard hampers $11.50 (see below for large tree gifts)
Prices calculate from that point depending on weight and size of the parcel. You will be able to see the shipping cost prior to paying for the gift. If rural delivery is not selected when the address is rural we will email for the additional payment prior to delivery.

Volume corporate orders to one location will be provided by quotation.
We cannot seek reimbursement of courier costs from the courier should the parcel not arrive on a specific day.
