Order Christmas Hampers for Hobart Delivery

Why a Hobart order needs a longer run-up

Bass Strait is the reason a Hobart delivery behaves differently from a Melbourne one. Nothing goes wrong on the way. The parcel has a water crossing in the middle of its run, and December is when that gap is least forgiving.

We will not quote a transit time, because that is Australia Post's to set and not ours to promise. What we control is the front half. Orders placed before 12pm on a weekday are dispatched the same day from our Corio, VIC warehouse, tracked with Australia Post. For the dates, see the Christmas delivery cut-off dates and treat the Tasmanian ones as the earliest on your list.

Sending food to a food state

Hobart is a hard city to impress with a hamper. Anyone who can walk to the Salamanca market on a Saturday already has the local cheese, the berries and the cool-climate wine sorted. What is harder to pick up down there is the imported and specialist end of a pantry: Belgian chocolate truffles, Italian black truffle mixed nuts, Belazu harissa and pesto, Ottolenghi spice tins, the sort of jar that turns up once a year and then gets rationed. All of it is shelf stable, so nothing in the box minds the crossing.

Four worth sending to Hobart

• Just Add Cheese Hamper, $79.95. Artisan pita, Kangaroo Island Mediterranean olives, roasted peanuts and Ploughman's relish, no alcohol. It stops short of the cheese on purpose, which in Hobart is the easiest gap to fill.
• Foodies Hamper, $79.95. Crackers, Belgian chocolate truffles, milk chocolate liquorice and Italian black truffle mixed nuts. For the recipient who reads the label before opening the packet.
• Gourmet Emporium Hamper, $169.95. Chutney and relish through to Belgian truffles. A pantry restock rather than an afternoon of snacks, and it ships free.
• Luxury Finest with G.H. Mumm Champagne Hamper, $229.95. A full bottle rather than a miniature, with Kangaroo Island olives and Belgian truffles beside it. Enjoy responsibly.

Both $79.95 hampers sit under the free shipping threshold. If that is your band, see gift hampers under $100; one step up, Christmas hampers under $150 clears it.

Hobart delivery questions

How long does a Christmas hamper take to reach Hobart?

That is Australia Post's number rather than ours, and we will not invent one. A Tasmanian delivery has a water crossing a mainland one does not, so leave more room than for a mainland capital and check the Christmas delivery cut-off dates before committing.

Is delivery to Tasmania free?

On any hamper over $100, yes, with no Tasmanian surcharge. Under $100 a shipping charge applies. Each hamper is packed and posted as its own parcel, so two hampers under $100 are two shipments and two charges.

Can I send to several Hobart addresses on one order?

Yes. Choose the ship-to-multiple-addresses option at checkout, add each recipient, and write a different card message for each. One order and one payment clears a whole Tasmanian list. For longer lists, corporate gift hampers do the same job at volume.

Can I send champagne or wine across to Tasmania?

Yes. The champagne hampers and food and wine hampers hold full bottles and post to Tasmanian addresses like anything else. If the household does not drink, the non-alcoholic hampers are complete gifts, not a bottle quietly removed. Enjoy responsibly.

What if the gift is not for Christmas?

This page is the Christmas list. For birthdays, thank yous and everything else going to Tasmania through the year, start at gift hampers delivered to Hobart instead.
