Important Delivery Information
- $10.95 delivery charge applies to addresses in Australia only
- Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, from our Melbourne warehouse.
- As part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability, Australia Post and StarTrack Couriers may no longer leave a paper calling card. Instead they will send a text notification of attempted delivery with details of where to collect their gift once it is available for collection. Therefore we ask for the receiver's mobile number to be provided on all orders so that they can be notified if the gift box is taken to their local post office. If no one is home to accept the delivery, and authority to leave has been given, the parcel will be left in a safe place at the premises.
- A $16.50 re-delivery fee will be charged if an incorrect delivery address is provided or if the recipient has been discharged from hospital upon delivery. Please note turn around times may take up to 5 days due to the processing systems of Startrack/Australia Post.
- If the recipient is not home and there is a suitable place to leave the gift, the courier will leave the parcel at their property.
- If you have any special delivery instructions such as where the parcel can be left safely, then please inform us in the ‘Special Instruction’ box during your order checkout process or you may send us an email at orders@thebabygiftcompany.com.au
- Customers must ensure they provide us with the correct delivery address. The Baby Gift Company will not be held responsible for the cost of lost parcels due to the supply of incorrect or insufficient addresses.
- Courier deliveries to metro areas in Australia are normally made next day however we estimate 1-2 working days in case of flight delays. For delivery addresses in regional or remote areas please allow an additional 2-3 business working days.
- Requests for delivery on specific days cannot be guaranteed, however we always try our best to aim for delivery on the requested date. Again you can mention these requests in the ‘Special Instruction’ box during your order checkout process.
- Change of Address: If the parcel is still in transit we will contact the courier and arrange for a re-direction of the parcel. This may incur an additional $16.50 delivery fee, and redirection can take up to three business days. If the parcel is on board for delivery, we will not be able to intercept the delivery.
- Hospital Deliveries: We would ask customers to reconsider Hospital deliveries and recommend sending to home addresses to avoid delays. Please be certain that the gift recipient will still be in hospital during the time frames stated above. If possible, please provide us with the mother’s full name, room number, and ward. If the recipient is discharged on the scheduled day for delivery a re-direction fee to her home may be charged to you. Therefore, If you are not sure how long mother and baby will be staying in hospital we recommend you address the gift box to their home address instead. Please note that we do not send gifts to the following hospitals - John Hunter Hospital, Lookout Rd, New Lambton Heights NSW 2305 and Mercy Hospital 163 Studley Rd, Heidelberg VIC 3084.
- Same-Day Delivery for Melbourne South East (not currently available): The same-day option will be displayed on the cart page, simply click the 'calculate' link. Prior to checkout, please check if same-day is available to your delivery postcode. Orders placed before 11.30am AEST Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) will be delivered on the same day. Orders placed after 11.30am AEST or on a weekend will be delivered on the following business day. Same-day Melbourne delivery is not available to PO Box addresses. The same-day service is not available for gift boxes with free delivery.
Overseas International Deliveries
Please Note - We are not delivering gift boxes overseas at this time.
Current customs restrictions have made it difficult for us to send our gifts overseas, therefore for this reason, we have decided to only offer deliveries within Australia.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, we would love to hear from you.
