FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When are deliveries made?
Deliveries occur during business hours Monday – Friday (except in peak periods when Saturday delivery may be available). We are not able to provide delivery on specific dates but can try and accommodate requests.
Orders placed on a weekend will be processed on the next business day.
Does the recipient need to be home?
No. Delivery drivers have the authority to leave. If they deem the premises suitable to leave the parcel they will place it in a safe and secure area. If not, they will leave a card and take it to the nearest Australia Post office.
Can I track my order online?
Yes. Once your order has been completed you will receive an email from us which will include the tracking number and link.
Do you deliver to hospitals?
Yes, we can, but it can be very tricky to co-ordinate. Large hospitals have their own internal mail sorting room so gifts are not sent directly to the patient. It is a good idea to check before placing the order that the patient will still be in the hospital at least 4 days after the order has been placed.
What happens if I supply the wrong address details?
Please contact us as soon as possible once you have realised the error. If the parcel has not been shipped we can alter the details on the order. If you provide the wrong delivery address and the gift has been dispatched we can try and contact the courier but Sending Hugs takes no responsibility for incorrect delivery details.
Can you deliver to a PO Box?
Yes. Choose an Australia Post shipping method for this type of delivery.
Is the invoice sent with the order?
No. All receipts are sent to the email address provided with the order details.
