Well it is nearly the 1st December and as you can imagine Christmas is one of our busiest times here at Baskets Galore. We have thousands of orders arriving already for pre-Christmas delivery.At Christmas we have to narrow this down to a “preferred delivery week”. Other hamper companies remove this option altogether, and you are only allowed to pick December or Christmas delivery. We have a counter on our page allowing customers to countdown with us on pre-delivery.s2-hampersCount with us...We do our best to accommodate your preferred week in December, but with thousands of hampers being dispatched each day I’m sure you can understand why we can’t guarantee specific delivery days or weeks.Although we would recommend for everyone to have their order placed by 18th December so that our courier companies have the chance to get the basket delivered as they are also swamped with deliveries during the Christmas Season, so even if parcels are sent on a 24-hour service, we ask that customers understand that delivery can take a little longer than during the rest of the year.Although you may be tempted to pick a delivery date as close to Christmas as possible, we advise picking slightly earlier dates to make sure your gift arrives on time. Sometimes the recipients may not be at home to sign for the parcel, and then they may take a few days to ring up & ask for re-delivery. Don’t worry about the best before dates on food items, they will all have a long enough shelf life to be fresh for Christmas.If anyone has an queries about delivery around Christmas our customer service team are always here to help with queries just send them a quick email and one of the team members will reply to your query.We want everyone to have a very happy holidays and making sure that no basket is left undelivered is what we aim to achieve.
