Perishable or Temperature-Sensitive Items
For items affected by heat, refrigeration, or freshness (such as food, chocolate, or flowers), issues must be reported within 24 hours of delivery.
Please include photos showing the condition on arrival.
We will assess based on packaging, courier handling, and environmental factors, and arrange a refund or replacement when the issue is our responsibility.
Order Cancellations
You may cancel your order anytime before it has been dispatched.
Once the hamper enters the packing or courier stage, cancellation may no longer be possible.
For urgent cancellations, email us immediately at hello@hellohampers.com.au.
Delivery Issues
-
Once a parcel is delivered to the address provided, we are not responsible for theft, loss, or damage that occurs after delivery.
-
If the customer provides an incorrect address, additional redelivery or replacement fees may apply.
-
If the courier confirms the parcel was lost in transit, we will work with them to provide a suitable resolution.
Refund Method & Processing Time
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method.
Refunds are typically processed within 10 business days, although banks or payment providers may take additional time to release funds.
If you believe your refund is delayed, please contact us.
Dispute Resolution
If you disagree with a return or refund decision, you may contact us with additional information or evidence.
We will reassess the case fairly in line with Australian Consumer Law.
