Attempt delivery to a neighbour

Leave the parcel in a safe place (if authorised)

Leave a card with instructions for redelivery or collection


Failed Deliveries:

If a parcel is returned to us after multiple failed delivery attempts, we can resend it, but there will be an additional charge for postage and new packaging. Please note that it is not the responsibility of Botham’s of Whitby if the recipient is not available to receive the parcel.

If your parcel has not been delivered within 72 hours of the dispatch date selected at checkout, please email orders@botham.co.uk as soon as possible so our Orders Team can help. We cannot assist with undelivered parcel notifications received more than one week after the dispatch date. 


Incorrect Delivery Details:

We rely on the information you provide; couriers cannot deliver successfully where an address is incomplete or inaccurate. 

Sorry, we are unable to accept responsibility for parcels that are delayed, lost or mis‑delivered due to incorrect delivery information. In such circumstances, we are not able to resend parcels free of charge or refund the original order.


Remote Areas & Substitutions: 

Some remote postcodes (including Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland) may experience longer transit times.

Where a product has a short shelf life, we may replace it with an item of equal or greater value to ensure it arrives in good condition. This does not affect your statutory rights.


Order limits & discounts: 

Orders over £1,000 may require additional lead time. For large orders over this, see our Gifting Service page for more information.

Discount codes apply only to qualifying products and cannot be used on hampers unless stated.

We currently deliver within the UK only.
