When shopping for a gift hamper for somebody special, it can be tough to decide which basket you should choose. There are so many lovely looking hampers on the market but looks can be deceiving so it’s important to remember a few simple guidelines that will help you make the best choice.
Free delivery
When you compare prices, it’s important to take delivery costs into account. In some cases you could end up spending more if you have to pay for delivery as well as the cost of the hamper. Of course the opposite can also be true if you don’t take a moment to consider exactly what it is that you’re buying.
Products
Check the list of products that are included in the hamper. Don’t only look at the product image. Read the product description and contents list. Make sure that you take note of the quantities of each product as well. For example, a hamper that contains several products in small quantities might not be as worthwhile as one with just a handful of products in larger quantities. Take an extra close look at the brands while you’re at it. Quality is another important point to consider. A huge basket of low quality treats is not nearly as good a buy as a moderate sized hamper with high quality products.
Other fees
Take a moment to read the terms and conditions to find out if any other fees will be charged. Certain delivery areas might require an additional delivery fee, sometimes taxes are not included in the price on the website, and there could be other hidden charges.
Reputation
Do some research online to find out just how happy previous clients have been with this particular hamper vendor. If they have plenty of positive online reviews, then you can be relatively certain that they will live up to their promises. If you notice too many negative reviews, you might want to look elsewhere.
