Hi Brian,
Many thanks for your order and your subsequent review.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee an exact delivery date (as stated on our website) as we have no control over our courier companies.
This is especially relevant when it comes to European deliveries such as yours, which was shipped to France.
It is almost impossible to know exactly how long a package will take to get to France at the moment and therefore we shipped your hamper allowing plenty of time for possible delays etc. Unfortunately it did arrive five days sooner than was expected, however we would prefer it arrived early rather than late which I'm sure you would agree.
I trust the recipient enjoyed it nonetheless.
Kind regards,
John Lane.
