Hi Oma, Sorry to hear this. We did explain via email, and there is a notice on our website, which states that we are unable to guarantee specific delivery dates at this time. The preferred delivery date on your order was 20th November, and delivery was made on 19th. We are sorry if this did not meet your expectations. Best wishes, Lauren Customer Services

“What I ordered I did not get, what is a Hamper basket we can all Google, what I got was a basket I have myself two bottles sitting on top!! Shocking I paid 94euro for privilege, also why have a number to contact no one in office answer it,!! As a person with a disability I need to use a phone, I have ordered another Hamper for December I am going grin and bear it now, will not use this company again.”

Hi Catherine, we are sorry to hear the product did not meet with your expectations. The photo you attached shows the gift basket arrived as advertised on our website. The wine is packaged this way for logistical reasons to avoid breakages. As per our correspondence, we did offer you a full refund as our company policy is to always exceed expectations, unfortunately we received no reply, so we assume you have decided to keep it. Apologies we were unable to take your calls, we do have a COVID announcement on our website explaining why it is not always possible to answer our phone line during this time. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback, take care and stay safe. King regards, Poppy

“Paid £20 for the luxury of delivering to Inverness on a guaranteed date, as it's apparently on the edge of the world. Delivered two days late for an 18th birthday. Totally lost it's value and impact as a gift.”

Hi Graeme, We are sorry to learn of your disappointment. The delivery postcode is deemed as remote by all courier companies, and for this reason delivery is made within a 48 hour time frame. Unfortunately it isn't possible to arrive on a next day basis. We do try to illustrate the extended area postcodes and time frames, and make them as clear as possible on our website. You will note from the delivery tracking link that the package arrived at the Inverness depot overnight. It was then sorted and taken out for delivery on a next day basis by Parcelforce. I apologise for any disappointment caused, but trust that you will appreciate we are limited by the capabilities of the couriers. Kind regards, Lauren

“My order was due out 18th March. Delivery went out but was never received, just went straight to the depot without any attempt at delivering or a phone call. We had one very disappointed 6 year old birthday boy who waited all day for it to arrive. Very disappointing! Got it the next day but this is really not good enough.”

Hi Tracey, I am sorry that delivery wasn't able to be made in time for Christmas. I can confirm that you sent 2 emails on 31st December, when our offices were closed for the New Year holidays. This is the only reason we didn't respond until today 2nd January. I can see that you placed your order by telephone on 1st December and requested a delivery date of 23rd December. The order confirmation was emailed to you on 1st December. Our records have no way of showing what address was provided at that time. However we apologise if the address has been typed up incorrectly by a member of staff. Spelling mistakes are of course possible, due to human error which is why where possible we recommend that customer's place their order online. When a telephone order is placed we do ask our customers to check over the email confirmation, and alert us to any discrepancies. It is an unfortunate mistake on both sides, for which we apologise. As you have mentioned your other 2 orders were delivered without any issues. I have organised for the hamper to be delivered via express overnight delivery service to the correct house number, and a member of our team will be in touch to confirm that delivery has been made. Kind regards, Cara

Hi Kamini, I think there must be some confusion, as your order was successfully delivered on 19/12/2019 and the signature matches the name of the receiver. The delivery tracking link is accessible both in your account, and in the notification of dispatch email that was sent on 18/12/2019 Could you possibly be mistaken? I have also emailed you privately and would be grateful for your response. Kind regards, Lauren

“Hamper arrived on the wrong day despite a specific day being requested and confirmed. I emailed asking why this had occured and I did not receive a reply, so sorry Baskets Galore but that gets you a 1 star review!”

“Where do I start? A year ago, this worked, this year it was a dog's dinner from start to finish. I was unable to pay on your website as it turned out that Firefox and my security software was blocking a social media tracker. The order for 3 items was proceeded manually, you managed to dispatch 2. On chasing the 3rd, I was told it was all my fault for not tracking the 3rd, non-existent order. Unless things improve dramatically, my business next Xmas will go elsewhere. In particular, you need to review your customer privacy policy as a matter of some urgency.”

“It didn’t! It was a gift for my brother & his family and he won’t get it on time! When I bought it I chose the date you gave me and paid extra for it to be delivered that day (today, Friday 20th of December). DHL just informed me it will be delivered on Monday 23rd of December, when they won’t be at home as they travel on Sunday. Really disappointed and won’t be buying again! I understand it’s Christmas time and they can be delays, but not this much!”

“The basket was hardly like described. I can understand if out of stock of something that you have to replace it but this was nothing like it. I spent ages choosing a basket with the things I knew she would love and they were not in it. Totally devastated.”

Hi Vanessa, I am very sorry to learn of your disappointment. However it is lovely to hear that your daughter was delighted with the Gift Basket. Sometimes it is necessary to replace items. However this isn’t normally due to lack of stock, but rather lack of supply continuity. Suppliers can also improve/change their packaging, and the photo of the Gift Basket - if taken a little while ago - may not be reflective of this. Just recently we have been unable to receive supplies from 3 of our long-standing partners. A soft drinks company, a snacks company and a bakery company. All three have ceased to exist. I can see that you have ordered the Birthday Party gift basket. I notice that 4 of the items in this Basket relate to these suppliers. Due to this, items will have been replaced. However please rest assured that they have been replaced with very similar items, or with upgraded items. We never, ever downgrade - or put in items that aren’t as close as possible in nature to that advertised. For example the mini iced cake will have been replaced with a chocolate birthday cake which is quadruple in size. The birch water will have been replaced with an alternative organic sparkling drink, and the small nuts packet will have been replaced with an alternative savoury snack. I hope that my explanation alleviates your concern. If it would reassure you further, I would be happy to call your Daughter and speak to her about the gift and explain the circumstances. It truly never is our intention to disappoint. Due to your comments this Basket has now been removed from sale, until it can be rephotographed with the new packaging/alternative product lines. Thank you very much for your feedback and for bringing this matter to our attention. Kind regards, Lauren

Hi Hannah, We are so sorry. The delivery company misdirected your package to the incorrect depot, which resulted in a 24 hour delay. We have been in communication with you to explain this, and sent a fresh Gift Basket which was delivered overnight. I sincerely apologise that delivery didn't go smoothly the first time. As always we are here to help, and are committed to putting things right given the opportunity. Thank you very much for your feedback, and hopefully we can be of service to you again in the future. Kind regards, Lauren.

“Just had an email from BasketsGalore that they have "successfully" delivered my gift basket order. I specially asked for delivery of this Fathers' Day gift tomorrow so that I could be sure that someone I asked could receive it and take it to my father who was rushed into hospital at the weekend. Heaven only knows who they have delivered it to!! Why could you not just d what you were asked?”

Hi Amanda, I am sorry you are disappointed that your order was delivered instead of tomorrow. We have been experiencing problems with the Irish courier service in that delivery area recently, such as operational mis-routes and time outs. As such we took the decision to err on the side of caution, and send time sensitive orders a day early, giving the couriers an extra day to make delivery. If you click on the delivery tracking link provided, you will see that the package was left with a neighbour - the house number and name. The driver will also have posted a calling card through the door to notify the receiver of this. We trust the package is well received, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for shopping with us. Should you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact us directly. We are always grateful for the opportunity to address any concerns directly. Kind regards, Lauren Customer Services.

“So disappointed with your service! Have used you so many times in the past but this time you let me down. Hard ordered a hamper for a friend’s Pearl Wedding Anniversary to arrive on their special. When I contacted your office the next day as it hadn’t arrived, they didn’t know what had gone wrong but then said they would make sure it was delivered the next day. I suggested you at least send a small gift to the recipient to apologise but surprisingly no response to that. Having used you often previously (pls see my account history) I’m extremely disappointed with your customer service on this occasion.”

Hi Anna, As per our telephone communication, we are very sorry that the courier company delivered on Friday, instead of Thursday. This was due to a case of human error in their Athlone depot, which resulted in the package not being scanned and not put on board for Thursday delivery. We sincerely apologise. I am sorry if you feel that your verbal request for a free gift has not been actioned. However please bear in mind that you have posted this review less than 24 hours after speaking with a customer service, thereby providing us with little opportunity to address the issue. As you have mentioned you have been a satisfied customer for many years. We sincerely apologise that our delivery agent let us down on this occasion. Our customer service team have reached out directly to discuss further. Kind regards, Lauren, Customer Services

“The hamper that we ordered for a family member to be delivered on 23/12/18 was finally delivered on 18/01/19. The courier left the hamper at a local service station and left no attempted delivery note for the recipient. On contacting BG customer service dept, I was told they were very busy coming up to Christmas. We used this company many times before but will never so so again. Appalling service overall.”

Hi Majella. We are disappointed to read this review, as we have been communicating with you via email. We explained that the parcel was left at a local collection point, as the recipient wasn't at home when delivery was attempted. The courier company confirm that a calling card was definitely left at the property. As you are aware a replacement hamper was dispatched by ourselves and this was delivered today. Your Uncle told the driver that he had been in hospital. This may be why he hadn't received the delivery notifications? We apologise that your order wasn't received as planned, but trust you will appreciate the reasons were beyond anyone's control, and that we have acted quickly to resolve by sending a replacement which we very much hope he enjoys. Kind regards, Lauren.

Hi James, Your order was placed on 19th December and delivery was made in time for Christmas. We do not charge "express" delivery fees in the month of December, we charge a flat "Christmas delivery" rate. This is because it isn't physically possible to offer express delivery, due to the huge volume of packages in the courier network. This is explained at checkout, on the delivery info. page of our website and in your email receipt. We trust the Gift Basket was well received and enjoyed by your Parents. Thank you very much for shopping with us, and we look forward to being of service to you in the future. Kind regards, Cara, Customer Services

Hi Elaine, The tracking information for your order shows "scheduled for delivery as agreed" for today 21st Dec. This means the receiver has communicated with the courier company and chosen this date. We will contact you directly via email to explain this. Kind regards, Customer Services Dept.

Hi Yasmeen, I am very sorry that our customer services team couldn't provide you with an estimated time of arrival when you emailed on 19th December. They did try to contact the courier company to find out this information but the drivers were incredibly busy, due to Christmas, and couldn't provide us with a delivery window. As you are aware delivery was made the next day on 20th December, and the gift card you were concerned about was included. Thank you very much for shopping with us, and we hope your husband was pleased with the gift basket. Kind regards, Cara Customer Services
