Delivery Address and Details It is the customer’s (sender) responsibility to ensure that all delivery addresses and details provided to Gourmet Explorer are correct. A business address is recommended, as all hampers must be signed for. Deliveries to PO Boxes are possible. Should we incur additional delivery costs due to inaccurate delivery information provided by the customer, these additional costs will be passed on to the customer. Unless advised to do so, our carriers will not leave hampers at an unattended address. Gourmet Explorer does not take responsibility if damage of any description occurs with a hamper left at an address on your instruction. A card will be left to advise the recipient of attempted delivery; it is then the responsibility of the recipient to arrange re-delivery. Our carriers are not in a position to call prior to every delivery. Any re-delivery charges will be passed on to the customer.
