- Arrival: by 5pm to businesses and by 9pm to homes.
- Sending to an office or school? Order by midday so the gift arrives before people leave for the day.
Choose a future delivery date at checkout if you want to order ahead. Regional addresses get next-day or 1-3 business day delivery on chocolate gifts and hampers.
Which cities get same-day birthday gifts?
Same-day delivery covers metro Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Gold Coast and Wollongong are also available same day if you order before 10am Mon-Fri.
