All prices for goods and shipping on this site are shown excluding vat, which will be added at checkout at the current rate E & OE.
Due to ongoing improvements of our ranges, you may find slight variations in colour or design of some products including baskets, shred, cellophane and ribbons, which can differ between batches. We aim to select items from the same batch, but this is not always possible, therefore you may see slight variations between the items you receive. All baskets are hand-crafted from natural materials, so you must allow for tolerances of 1-2cm on all sizes quoted. Measurements are external at the widest points, not including handles, unless stated.
We aim to keep images accurate, but they are primarily for guidance. If you need exact details or measurements, please contact us and we'll be happy to advise if we can fulful your requirements.

You must enter this information accurately or you will not receive the notification. Most items are sent through DPD, DHL or Royal Mail. You will receive another email from our courier on the day of delivery advising when they expect to arrive with you, with a link to the tracking facility should you wish to view progress. Smaller orders (in size, weight and/or value) may be dispatched with Royal Mail on a 1st class service.

PLEASE NOTE: If your order is NOT received within the time-frame given on your shipping notification, you must let us know within 48 hours by calling 01502 501681 or emailing salesdesk@candigifts.co.uk and providing your order ID.

REFUNDS ARE LIMITED TO WHAT IS RECOVERABLE FROM THE COURIER COMPANY IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES .
FAILURE TO TELL US IN TIME THAT YOUR GOODS HAVE NOT BEEN DELIVERED MAY RESULT IN YOUR CLAIM BEING REJECTED.

All deliveries are made by our couriers or Royal Mail Monday to Friday (except Bank Holidays and company closures) to the shipping address given. Unless you have upgraded your service, your goods will usually be delivered between 8am and 6pm. You MUST provide the delivery address and postcode correctly as we will use this information to ship your goods and this is where your order will be delivered. We cannot be responsible for goods delayed or not received because they have been delivered to an address which you gave incorrectly. If the address is unlocatable and the courier is unable to deliver because of incomplete or incorrect details given, your consignment may be returned to us at your cost. It is also your responsibility to ensure that someone will be available to sign for and take delivery of the consignment at the shipping address you give. If no-one is available, a card will be left by the courier for you to contact the depot directly and make alternate arrangements. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH THE DEPOT AND THE GOODS ARE SUBSEQUENTLY SENT BACK TO US, YOUR ORDER WILL BE CANCELLED AND TREATED AS A RETURNED ORDER.

If your order qualified for free carriage and is returned, we reserve the right to reclaim the actual shipping charges incurred by us when the order was sent and any costs applied by the courier to return the order to us. We use a courier so shipments are traceable, but for your convenience we have introduced an option to leave your goods with neighbours or in a safe place. By requesting us to leave your order with someone else or somewhere without a signature, all insurance offered by the courier is voided and in these circumstances we cannot accept claims for any missing goods.
