Delivery Information

PACKAGING
All mail order gifts are packaged in strong protective outers.

DELIVERY ADDRESS INFORMATION
Please ensure all addresses are accurate and include postal town and postal code, together with the recipient's telephone number. Inaccurate addresses will incur extra delivery charge to yourself and inevitable delay. We will deliver to the address as you enter it and cannot accept any liability for late or failed delivery if the quoted address is incorrect or incomplete. 

RECIPIENT ABSENT
Should the recipient be out when our courier attempts delivery and no one is available to accept delivery, a card will be posted through the letterbox advising the recipient that a delivery as been attempted and inviting them to telephone our courier to arrange either:

- A collection from the nearest depot, which is available the working day after the card was left
- Re-delivery to the original address during normal working hours.

Any parcels not delivered or collected within five working days will be automatically returned to Delilah Fine Foods. A charge of £15 inc VAT is made for re-delivery to the original or alternative address. A charge will also be made for any items which become unsuitable for sale and need replacing (perishable and chilled items like smoked foods, hams and cheeses which have short shelf lives).

At point of order the purchaser can leave 'if out' instructions to be attached to the goods e.g. If out please leave with neighbour. Delilah cannot be held responsible for damage or theft of goods where an 'if out' instruction ahs been issued by the purchaser.

If the hamper is being sent as a gift, we would advise that you call the recipient to let them know to expect a delivery. Some customers find it helpful to send hampers to the recipient's work address.

Our guarantee is limited to delivering to the building, not individual recipients.
