SHIPPING

Please select your preferred delivery date at checkout.  All delivery dates are estimates and we will do our best to get your delivery to you on your chosen day but we are dependent upon the delivery services available to us and at certain times of the year deliveries can differ and we can not 100% guarantee a delivery date.  For this reason we always suggest giving yourself some extra time if possible to ensure your gift arrives prior to or on the event.

CHOOSING A DELIVERY DATE

Please choose a delivery date at check out.  Please be aware that we use third parties to deliver and so cannot 100% guarantee a delivery date.  Delivery dates are estimates.  We apologise if your delivery is not made on your chosen date but please know that we have done everything we can to make it happen.  Obviously there are busy times of the year when deliveries are delayed and at those times please try to give yourself plenty of time to ensure gift arrives in time.   At times your order may arrive early - this again is out of our hands.  If you would like us to make a note on the address label intended for your recipient to open the parcel on a certain day we can do that, add a Message to the Maker at check out and we will happily add a note to your address label like 'no peeking until..... or do not open until .....

GROUP APPAREL 

Group T-shirts and apparel are not only fun to wear but they are so much fun to design and produce!  We can make t-shirts for your group no matter the size.  We cover all occasions and many many items - just ask.  PJ's and T-shirts are very popular and can also double up as a favour/bonnaireres, they are great for making the occasion all about that special person or a fantastic way of making everyone feel included and part of the celebration.  Available for all ages and all occasions - the only limit is your imagination.  Group t-shirts are especially good for holidays and we recently bumped in to a group of 30 on a cruise wearing our 'Family cruise 2024' T-shirts which was so special!  Group apparel often needs some lead in time so give us as much time as you can to get the items right, source products and get them produced - but we also do rush orders and secretly enjoy the pressure!!

WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR ITEMS

We are a small family business based on the Gold Coast, QLD.  We try to make many items in-house and use other local and Australian small businesses.  Our items are sourced from other ethical businesses and we use the highest quality products.  Some items are sourced from overseas but we do try to limit this as much as we can.

WHY CAN'T YOU SEND BALLOON ITEMS OUTSIDE OF THE GOLD COAST

We have tried to find a courier willing to deliver our balloons Australia wide but it has so far not been possible.  If you wish to have a balloon gift made outside of the Gold Coast please drop us an email as we have an extensive number of other balloon making businesses in our contact list and will happily put you in touch with one of them.

CAN I PUT ANYTHING INSIDE A BALLOON GIFT

Unfortunately no - we are limited by size and weight.  Your stuffed balloons have a limited neck size of about 8cm - 10cm, but we are happy to give things a try and get back to you if it doesn't work.  Stuffed balloons are usually ok with a bottle of wine but couldn't take much more weight than that.  The hot-air balloon style balloon hampers are a little more flexible when it comes to size and weight - your gift just has to fit in the box.

HOW LONG WILL BALLOON GIFTS LAST

Stuffed ballon's are very dependent up on humidity and how you treat your gift.  It's a balloon, if you are rough with it its going to burst!  If the room you keep your ballon gift in is hot or in direct sunlight your balloon will start to go cloudy and start to deflate and may burst.  The thing about stuffed balloons is that you have to burst them to get your gift out so the likelihood of wanting to keep it inflated for a long time are slim.  In the right conditions your stuffed balloon will last a few days, take care with your creation and enjoy it for as long as possible.  All deliveries of stuffed balloons are made personally by one of our team, we don't like to leave them outside as the Gold Coast climate can be humid and balloons are much better if out of the sun and taken inside to be looked after.

WHAT PARTY ITEMS DO YOU MAKE

We make so many party items from invites, party signs, food wrappers, group apparel, favours and more.  All your items can be made to suit your theme, they can be personalised and produced to your specification.  If you don't see what you are looking for or the parameters set on the website are not quite what you were thinking get in touch with us today and we will start the conversation, design and quote.  Emails michelle@customhampergifts.com

CAN I AMEND MY ORDER ONCE IT'S PLACED

We will always do our best but it is not always possible.  If you would like to amend your order, please contact us IMMEDIATELY - within 1 hour of placing the order.  Orders are processed quickly 7 days per week and we cannot guarantee to make changes without charges once production has begun, particularly for the personalised items. If personalised items have been processed, fees will apply to replace that item so please check your order before checkout - particularly spellings and wording as your order will be produced exactly as you request.  There are too many variations on spellings of names these days for us to make an educated amendment - WE WILL WRITE ALL PERSONALISATION AND MESSAGES EXACTLY AS YOU ASK US TO.  If on the rare occasion there is a mistake on our behalf we will replace your item at our expense.

If you want to swop out an item we maybe able to do this if you contact us immediately and your order has not been produced or sent out yet.

DO YOU EVER USE ALTERNATIVE ITEMS IN ORDERS

On some occasions we are not able to supply the exact items as pictured or described in our product descriptions.  Colours, flavours and even brands may vary but we guarantee that we will include/replace items with a like for like alternative and they will always be of the same or higher quality and value and your gift will still look and be amazing.  

From time to time we may have issues with stock and supply of clothing apparel and sourcing sizes, on those occasions will use high street brands of equal or better quality and value to ensure your order is produced and processed within the time frame.

Please be aware that we use lighting when taking our product pictures and this can give a varied impression of colours as can our computer and phone screens.
