We do not advise sending your hamper directly to a school.
Please note we cannot guarantee successful delivery to school, nor are we able to guarantee delivery hours.
As schools are busy places with countless students, personnel and procedures we do not advise sending a hamper directly to a school without first confirming with the staff there. There is an increased chance of a delivery being unsuccessful.
Most schools have specific guidelines regarding the delivery of gifts to staff, with some even unable to accept direct deliveries.
Should you choose to send a delivery to a school however, here are some helpful tips:
-
It is advisable to contact the specific school in advance to find out how their deliveries are received. For example: deliver to loading dock on Smith St; leave with reception; etc. Ensure these instructions are added under Delivery Instructions.
-
Provide as much detail as possible about the recipient: classroom, full name and delivery address of school. Please note the delivery address sometimes differs from a street address.
Please note that if a parcel needs to be sent to an alternative address due to the school already being closed, or should delivery be unsuccessful, an applicable redelivery or returns fee will be passed on to the sender.
Please also note that should a successful delivery be completed and the recipient is no longer at the location, we are unable to organise a courier to collect or redeliver the hamper. Once a delivery has been made successfully to the address provided at checkout, The Hamper Emporium is unable to collect or compensate.
