Our shipping calendar only allows you to pick the latest day you are happy to have your order delivered by.
We are not accepting nominated delivery dates. Under no circumstance - Not at all. It’s impossible, so: Please don’t ask us as we just can’t do it. Please, don’t place an order because the shopping cart says. Please don’t place an order and then send us an email. Please don’t think the shopping cart is broken because it only allows you to pick one date, order and then email us to advise us that it must be broken.
Currently we are able to deliver baskets up to a week before our estimate. (see Weekly Schedule Updates on our Blog) We do not expect to deliver later than when the shipping calendar advises. There is a National Lockdown ongoing in not only Ireland and UK, but much of the world. It restricts the ability of businesses to function fully and normally. Under normal circumstances we will do our very best to organise delivery on the day of your choosing, we have staff to intervene and track and we dispatch every day. but currently it isn’t possible. There are a wide variety of reasons why we cant operate such a service. Social distancing and safe working guidelines have changed everything. Our shipping calendar only allows you to pick the latest day you are happy to have your order delivered by. We take great care in underpromising and overdelivering. This gives all shoppers a choice whether to accept the lead time or shop elsewhere.

Secure Payment
All payments are securely processed by world class Elavon Merchant Services, Europe’s largest & most trusted processor and acquirer of credit and debit card transactions.
Delivery
All address information must be accurate including the postcode where appropriate and the recipient's telephone number. We cannot accept responsibility for late or non-delivery if the recipient's address and telephone details are insufficient or incorrect. The goods shall be deemed to have been delivered, when the courier obtains receipt of the goods confirmation from any person at that address.
It is the customer's duty to ensure that someone will be home to sign for the gift, which will be delivered by third party couriers. Where the courier is unable to find a person to accept delivery, a calling card will be left for the recipient to contact the courier and arrange to pick-up from the local depot or agree an alternative delivery time or alternative location at the discretion of the courier. If the recipient fails to make contact in good time, the goods are returned to us and a charge will be made for re-delivery to the original or an alternative address. The purchaser will also be charged for any items, which have become unsuitable for sale and need replacing such as perishable items such as cheese and fruit which have short shelf lives.
We employ third-party courier services to execute delivery. Although customers can request a specified delivery day, times or dates cannot always be guaranteed. During peak seasons such as Christmas, delivery may be a day or two either side of your preferred date. Next day delivery may not be possible for all locations and/or addresses. Our delivery fee is a flat rate, and no additional charges are applied for a next day service. In the event that delivery is not made within 24 hours, due to a problem encountered in the delivery network, a refund will not apply. Claims for non-delivery must be made within 15 days.
Returns, Refunds, Cancellations & Damages

We are dedicated in ensuring all our gifts arrive with you in perfect condition. In the rare event of a gift being damaged, please contact us within 3 days by telephone, or email us at info@giftbaskets.ie
Damaged Goods must be returned to us suitably packaged. We will replace or refund the items concerned.
Unwanted/Unsuitable Goods
Unwanted or unsuitable goods can be returned within 7 working days of receipt, as long as the goods are in perfect condition, and the packaging remains in an “as new” state. Both the despatch and return costs will be the customer’s responsibility, and will be reimbursed by us only in the case of damaged, faulty or incorrectly supplied goods. We recommend using a reliable insured courier, or registered post, to return the item. In accordance with the European Directive on Distance Selling, perishable goods or customised goods made according to custom specifications may not be returned.
Please contact us by telephone, or email us at info@giftbaskets.ie to let us know that you would like to return an item. You will then need to print and fill out our Returns Form and return it with the unwanted item. All returns must be packaged to prevent damage, with the Returns Form enclosed. After we have received the goods, a refund will be made to the purchaser's credit card, this excludes the cost of delivery and any perishable items.
Cancellations
In accordance with the EU Distance Selling Directive you have the right to cancel the contract up to 7 working days starting the day after delivery. In this situation please contact us to let us know you would like to cancel your order and then please return the goods to us. The goods must be unused, in perfect condition, & in their original packaging.
You may cancel an order up to 24 hours before the requested delivery date. However, if we receive notice of your cancellation later than 24 hours before the delivery date, you may be too late to halt the delivery. To cancel your order if the goods have already been dispatched, you must notify our customer services team by email info@giftbaskets.ie. Any refund will exclude the original delivery charge, the return-to-sender fee imposed by the delivery company, and a 10% re-stocking/admin fee.
Undelivered Orders
We reserve the right to charge an additional fee for carriage, handling charges or unusable content in the event of a failed delivery caused by the supply of an incorrect or incomplete delivery address, or if the end receiver fails to respond to contact attempts to arrange/ reschedule delivery by either our delivery agent or ourselves.
Substitutions
Whilst every effort is made to supply items as specified, the contents of each gift are subject to availability. Irish Gourmet reserves the right to substitute any items where appropriate, and guarantee that all replacements are of equal or greater value. Plates, glasses and other props shown in photographs may not be included in a hamper unless specifically listed. Wine vintages and labels may vary from those shown.
