Dispatch (preparing hampers)
We aim to dispatch orders placed by 1pm*** on weekdays (excluding Queensland public holidays) on the same day. Orders placed after this time tick over to the next day. ***When lockdowns are occurring in major capital cities due to the pandemic it may take us 1-2 days (up to 48 hours) for dispatch orders due to temporary stock shortages in times of peak demand. Individual hampers will show as being "SOLD OUT" if we expect dispatch to take any longer than this. Please contact us via our LIVE CHAT feature or via email at hello@beechvillelane.com if you have any queries regarding when your hamper is likely to be dispatched or you are wanting to know when a SOLD OUT hamper will be back in stock and we are happy to help.
