DELIVERY GUARANTEE

For all of the above delivery services if your order is not delivered by the time or date you requested you will be entitled to a full refund of the delivery charge ONLY.(Exclusions to this include if you have requested Next Day Delivery but have ordered after 4pm cut-off time, if you have ordered after 4pm on Friday and request a Saturday Or Monday Delivery & if you requested a Saturday delivery but did not select the correct shipping charge).

Even though you may be ordering well in advance of when you actually need your gift selection delivered (days, weeks or even months), the above delivery services are what we use to guarantee delivery on a specific date.

All Deliveries will be made by Parcel Force or Royal Mail. Orders must be received by 4pm Monday to Friday to qualify for a Next Day delivery. Any 'Next Day Delivery' orders received after 4pm will be despatched the next working day. If an order is received before 4pm on a Friday and you require a Saturday delivery please select the additional charge for a Saturday delivery if this is not selected it will be delivered the following Monday unless the Monday is a Bank Holiday it will then be delivered on Tuesday (ie the next working day).

However where time allows ie your order is placed by 4pm on Thursday we will send the order out for delivery on Friday. Any Orders received after 4pm on Friday cannot be despatched until Monday and hence delivered on Tuesday unless the Monday is a Bank holiday where your order will be delivered on Wedensday.

If the correct delivery charge is not selected for your required delivery date we will not be liable for any refunds due to the item arriving later than you requested. For instance if you request a Saturday as a delivery date and have not selected the Saturday charge your order will not be delivered until the Monday/Tuesday depending on when you placed the order.

If you place a next day delivery order after the cut-off time of 4pm we will send your balloon out the next working day which may result in it being a day later than you requested . We will not be liable for any refunds regarding 'late delivery' as there are clear warnings regarding the cut-off time for next day deliveries displayed on all our products descriptions & catalogue pages.

We do not offer Same Day Delivery or make any deliveries an a Sunday.

For deliveries to a business please ensure that you include the recients name and business name.

For deliveries to Hospitals please ensure all details supplied are correct (including the ward Number / Department) and that the Hospital ward/department will accept deliveries.

All deliveries will require a signature as proof of delivery, therefore, we cannot request that items be left in a safe place or outbuildings.

If you select the standard weekdays by 5.30pm we cannot guarantee any specific time delivery requests but we will print these on the delivery labels.

Where our courier has attempted to deliver the parcel and no-one is available at the delivery address to sign for the it we will not be liable for a refund of the delivery charge as an attempt has been made on the requested delivery date. The courier will either automatically attempt to redeliver your order the next working day or leave it at a local Post Office for collection - they will normally leave a card advising of the attempted delivery but WE CANNOT guarantee this. If a card is left it will give a phone number and clear instructions on how to get the parcel re-delivered or where the parcel can be picked up from (normally the courier local sorting office).

(Please note: If a delivery attempt was made on a Friday but there was no one to receive the parcel the next day our couriers will attempt delivery will be Monday, which is the next working day).

Once delivery has been signed for at the given address, it is no longer the responsibility of Balloons, Gifts & Hampers. Refunds cannot be given if the parcel has not passed onto the named recipient.
