Shipping, Delivery & Food Safety Standards
We send our curated Australian gift hampers nationwide primarily using Australia Post. Every hamper is hand-packed at our regional Queensland facility and dispatched with full parcel tracking.
Standard Dispatch Window
Dispatched within 3 to 7 business days from our facility, followed by standard Australia Post / courier transit times depending on destination.
Ideal when there is no fixed calendar deadline and you want the hamper freshly assembled and dispatched.
Arrives on the Date You Choose
Tell us your ideal delivery date in your order notes, and we will schedule dispatch backwards so it arrives on the date you choose.
Perfect for birthdays, Father’s Day, anniversaries, corporate milestones, or celebratory events.
Our Delivery Partners & Couriers
We primarily send our hampers via Australia Post for reliable parcel tracking and Australia-wide coverage. On occasion, depending on the destination, volume, or specific transit requirements, we may use alternative reputable courier partners to ensure your hamper travels under the best possible conditions. Should we need to use a different courier for your order, we will always inform you and provide the updated tracking details.
Heavy Consignments & Multi-Box Orders (over 5kg)
Calculated by weight at checkout
For oversized executive wooden crates, multi-bottle luxury consignments, and bulk corporate packages weighing over 5.0 kg, orders are dispatched with heavy-duty protective freight packaging. Postage is calculated by Australia Post at checkout from the parcel weight and your delivery postcode — there is no flat surcharge and no markup.
Includes heavy-duty double-wall reinforced packaging, specialised impact absorption foam, dedicated fragile liquid handling, and signature-on-delivery tracking.
Dispatch Window & Australian Consumer Law Commitment
Once your hamper leaves our facility, transit is handled by Australia Post or our designated courier. Because regional geography and carrier transit times vary across Australia, we promise an accurate dispatch window (3 to 7 business days) and aim for delivery on the date you choose rather than making misleading transit arrival guarantees.
Missed Date & Delay Protection Guarantee
If unexpected carrier disruptions or production delays cause us to miss a stated dispatch timeframe, we will proactively notify you immediately and provide a full, hassle-free refund under Australian Consumer Law.
Food Safety, Perishables & Cheese Transit Standards
We take food safety seriously. All food storage, packing, and transit procedures strictly adhere to the Food Act 2006 (Qld) and the FSANZ Food Standards Code (Standard 3.2.2 & Standard 1.2.1).
How we transport food & cheese safely
- Hard & matured cheeses (e.g. Kenilworth Club Cheddar, Parmesan, hard washed-rind): Under FSANZ Standard 3.2.2, hard matured cheeses are non-potentially hazardous due to low moisture content and safe water activity levels. They are securely packed in protective thermal packaging suitable for ambient postage.
- Soft, fresh & high-moisture cheeses (e.g. Brie, Ricotta, fresh Chèvre): When included, high-moisture perishable cheeses are classified as potentially hazardous foods and are shipped using insulated cold-chain thermal packaging with ice bricks, supported by documented producer shelf-life safety data kept on file.
- Artisan shelf-stable gourmet (jerky, nuts, BBQ sauces, honey, native teas & spices): 100% ambient shelf-stable. During warmer months, heat-sensitive items such as artisan chocolates are packed with thermal deflection insulation liners to preserve texture and quality.
- 100% vendor traceability: In full compliance with FSANZ Standard 1.2.1, we maintain the full Australian business name, ABN, and physical premises address of every food vendor and producer across our entire range.
How Shipping is Calculated
Shipping is charged at live Australia Post calculated rates at checkout with zero markup. The cost is based on the hamper dimensions, weight, and delivery postcode. You can check the exact postage cost in your shopping cart before paying.
