    • Leave a card advising the recipient that the parcel has been taken to back to the warehouse
    • Call the recipient for an alternative delivery address or time (redelivery fees will apply)
    • Some unsuccessful deliveries may come straight back to us for processing - we may not know about the unsuccessful delivery until it arrives back to us, and we therefore encourage our customers to keep an eye on the tracking of the delivery.
  • In order to ensure that someone will be present during business hours, and to avoid redelivery fees, it is highly recommended sending the parcel to a business address.
  • Please note that redelivery fees may apply for any deliveries that need to be reattempted.
  • Please note that when authority to leave has been given, To-Plate Foods and our couriers cannot accept responsibility or liability on the rare occasion that a consignment is lost or stolen after our couriers have recorded the package as 'successfully delivered'.

In the rare case that your goods arrive damaged, please contact our customer service team at orders@to-plate.co with photographic evidence to organise a replacement.
  • Most hospitals have specific guidelines regarding delivery of gifts to patients. It is advisable to contact the specific hospital in advance to find out how their deliveries are received (e.g. deliver to loading dock on Smith St, leave with reception in the Lindo Wing off George St).
  • Please provide as much detail as possible about the recipient – bed/room number, ward name/number, full name and street address of hospital – and ensure that the name on the delivery address matches the name under which the patient is registered at the hospital.
  • Please note that if a parcel needs to be sent to an alternative address due to the patient already being discharged, an applicable redelivery fee will be passed on to the sender.
  • If you cancel the order any time before we have processed it, you will be refunded within 2-3 business days based on the timeframe the bank requires to process the refund.
  • We are unable to cancel an order if it has been processed. If an item has not yet been delivered we will request our couriers return it (a post-dispatch cancellation) but we are unable to guarantee this return will be successful if the order is within 2 working days from delivery. Please contact our customer service team at orders@to-plate.com to discuss further.
 
  • All refunds for orders placed via our website will be made via the original payment method used. For corporate orders that were invoiced, we will require bank details. Please contact us for further information.

If the item is successfully returned to us, this will incur a $14.95 return fee and the remainder of the cost will be refunded. Please note if the order is within 2 working days of delivery a return or redirection may not be possible.
  • In the unlikely event you are unhappy with your purchase with To-Plate, all we ask is the parcel is returned in the same condition it was received and we will refund you for the goods returned.

If you receive a gift that has been damaged, faulty, or the item is incorrect, please contact our Customer Service team within 24 hours and email photos of the damage to orders@to-plate.com
  • If a customer has received a damaged, faulty or incorrect item, we allow them the choice of a credit or a replacement.
  • If you change your mind and no longer want your order, please contact us immediately as we are unable to make any edits once your order has been processed. Please note that our standard business hours are 9am-5pm AEST Monday-Friday. Any amendments or cancellations sent outside of those business hours will be actioned as soon as possible during business hours. If To-Plate is advised of the change of mind prior to us processing the order, we will cancel it within our system and refund in full. If there is a change of mind after it has been processed then we will request a redirection with the couriers, but please note this may not be possible and will incur a redirection fee of $14.95.
  • If there is a change of mind after the order has been delivered, then returns must be made at the customer’s own cost to our warehouse address and on receipt of the returned item and inspection, we will refund for the cost of the hamper. Please contact us for further information.
  • Please note whilst we will do our best to ensure delivery is made in a timely manner, we will not provide compensation for deliveries not made on the expected date at the fault of the couriers.
  • If the courier’s tracking states that an item has been delivered but the recipient is claiming non-receipt, we will investigate with the couriers and on the results of the investigation suggest appropriate resolution.
  • In the event of a redirection request, if this is unsuccessful, we will refund the redirection fee. We are unable to refund or compensate any additional amount under these circumstances.
  • If a parcel has an incorrect address, our couriers are unable to call the recipient to verify, and instead the parcel will be returned to us.

All of our products come from artisan producers who make small batch products which are often highly seasonal. We update our packages regularly but for many factors outside of our producers’ control, sometimes a product may not be available. When this occurs we will replace that product with a product of equal or higher value.
