By ordering a gift, you acknowledge our authority-to-leave.
- If a gift is not able to be found on the premises, and Gourmet Basket can provide evidence of delivery from the courier, then unfortunately this
will not entitle the purchaser to a refund or replacement, as the gift has been delivered. - If a parcel is deemed unsafe to leave by the courier, a card will be left, and the parcel taken to the nearest Australia Post shop or Startrack Depot. The card will advise options for receiving the gift, including collection options.

- It is your responsibility to inform Gourmet Basket if an order has not arrived. We will then trace and locate the order.

and you acknowledge and agree that delivery within the estimated time frame is not always possible due to unforeseen circumstances. - At this stage, we do not deliver outside of Australia.
