Mother's Day & St Patrick's Day Weekend

Wow, what a busy few days we have had with orders for Mother's Day & St. Patrick's Day!

We dispatched hundreds of orders on Wednesday & yesterday, for delivery today and the orders are still coming in now. 

We have lots going for delivery on Monday & also on the special Saturday service.

Unfortunately the courier companies do not offer a Saturday delivery option in Ireland & it is also a Public Holiday on Monday 19th for St Patrick's Day, as it falls on a Saturday this year.

This means any orders dispatched today for Ireland will hopefully arrive on Tuesday 20th March, when the couriers re-open.

If you ordered a perishable basket containing salmon, fruit etc today we advised these are not dispatched until next week so as they arrive freshly overnight. If we sent them today they would be in transit for quite a few days due to the extended weekend and we want your friends & family to receive their gift basket in top condition.

There are also no collections on Monday 19th of parcels destined for Ireland, due to the Public Holiday, so any orders to Ireland placed on Friday evening (post 3pm) & over the weekend will be dispatched on Tuesday 20th March & therefore delivered on Wednesday 21st.

We can't turn the dates off in the calendar as deliveries to the UK are still available on Monday & Tuesday, so apologies for any inconvenience caused. We do endeavour to email anyone who places an order ASAP to explain the delivery options when a holiday occurs or to offer an alternative gift.

We can also include a note of apology with your gift basket to explain the delay was due to the Public Holiday, so as not to get you in trouble!

Thanks for your understanding with this matter and if your gift is destined for England, Wales, Scotland or Europe don't worry - they remain unaffected!

Many thanks for your orders & we wish you all a fantastic Mothering Sunday & St. Patrick's weekend! Enjoy the rugby too everyone!
