Wrong delivery date
Having paid extra to choose a delivery date when I new I would be in, the hamper was actually delivered two days early when I was only in by chance. Seems I wasted my money in choosing a convenient date for delivery.

Dear customer,
I am so sorry to hear that your item was delivered early. We despatched the item in time for it to be delivered on your chosen day, and It does appear that the carrier decided to deliver the item earlier than instructed, so I do apologise about this. I have issued you a refund for your named day delivery. I am happy that your have received the hamper ok, and I hope it was enjoyed.
Kind regards

Evri is the issue
Ordering process good. Range of items good. Frustrated that my delivery has been stalled at Evri with no explanation for the last 5 days. I now have no idea when it might arrive.

Dear customer,
I am so sorry that you are unhappy with the carrier and that your item has been delayed. I can see that you selected our free, December, standard delivery option, where items can be delivered anywhere from the 8th to the 23rd of December. This has left us and is with the carrier, so hopefully the item will be delivered to your recipient soon.
Kind regards
Constance
Good Service & Delivery
All smooth from start to finish and the hampers arrived early in the specified Christmas delivery window which was a great help. Hampers also were true to the brochure!

Virginia Haywood has a delectable…
Virginia Haywood has a delectable variety of hampers for various occasions, specific tastes or dietary preferences, and price ranges.
I, especially, like the range of Christmas hampers and have purchased multiple Christmas hampers as gifts for friends. The process of ordering was simple and on every occasion and much to my delight and relief, my friends received their hampers on the chosen delivery dates! (This does not always happen with other companies, especially at Christmas time.) My friends have always been thrilled to receive the gorgeous hampers.
I would highly recommend Virginia Haywood, especially at Christmas time, for their fantastic products, fair prices, and excellent service.

I ordered the hamper for a friend
I ordered the hamper for a friend. While it was delivered on the committed day, it was scheduled for the morning hours (before 1 pm) while the actual delivery happened around 5 pm.
Otherwise all was good.
