By placing an order you agree that you give the courier service ‘Authority To Leave’ the package in a safe spot if no one is home (this is standard practice and ensures your package gets to the recipient as quickly as possible). If you do not wish to give your order ‘Authority To Leave,’ please inform us before your order has been processed, or leave a note in the ‘comments’ section when placing their order. You may be required to pay the post office holding fee of $10 if no one is home and the package is returned to the Post Office. Please see our T&C’s for more information about this.

For deliveries to a residential address, it helps if you please provide the recipients telephone number. We give our courier the authority to leave parcels if the recipient is not at home. If delivery cannot be made, the courier will leave a calling card for the recipient to collect their package from their local post office.

For deliveries to a hospital or nursing home, please provide as much information as possible (such as level, ward and room number). Also make sure they haven’t been discharged by the time the delivery gets there.

Any alcohol featured in our care packages is designed to be delivered as a genuine gift to a person and does not exceed two litres. The gift is packaged and presented in such a manner that it is taken to be a gift. The gift can only be delivered to another adult who is not the purchaser. For all gifts with alcohol included, please ensure that the recipient is aged over 18 years and is available to receive the delivery.

Great, send an email to hello@caringcanary.com.au and we will endeavor to respond within 48 hours.

We work with small, boutique businesses. As artisans only have two hands, sometimes a product won’t be available. So, we reserve the right to substitute products in your care package with other, similar products which are always of equal or greater value. We only want your recipient to be completely satisfied!

Please note that Complimentary Caring Cards can only be sent with a care package order.
