We do not offer same day deliveries, however the majority of our gifts can be delivered the next business day if ordered before the shipping cut off time. When calculating delivery times, please be sure to take into account any time differences between your home location and our headquarters in Belgium on Central European Time (GMT +1).

The recipient's contact information is very useful in case any delivery issues arise. We never use this information for marketing purposes, nor do we share it with any party other than the delivery company. When entering the phone number, it is best to write it without spaces.
It is not customary in Europe for shipping companies (even UPS or FedEx) to call the recipient before delivery. Use of mobile phones in the field is considered a hazard to the driver. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The recipient’s phone number will be used by our staff or by the local depot of the delivery company to attempt to resolve any delivery issues that may arise whenever possible.
A physical address is required for delivery. We regret that we are unable to deliver to PO Boxes or military bases.
You may check the delivery status of your gift in the Account Center or by following the tracking information in the shipping notification email. Log in details to the Account Center will be included in your order confirmation email.
An adult signature is typically required for deliveries in Europe. If the recipient is out when a delivery attempt is made, the driver will leave a notice and reattempt delivery on a future date. Should multiple delivery attempts be unsuccessful, the shipper may return the parcel to our warehouse.
In some countries, the shipper will leave the parcel in front of the door or with a neighbor when requested in the delivery instructions field, though we cannot guarantee that the delivery company will follow these instructions. Please see our Shipping Guidelines for more information.
If the gift has not yet been shipped, please email customer service immediately.
If the parcel is already in transit, the recipient should contact the courier directly with the parcel tracking number ASAP to make the final delivery arrangements.
