Hospitals (Australia Wide Deliveries)
In our recent experience when buying for someone who is in hospital there are a few things to consider before sending the Feel Better Box direct to the hospital:
Will the giftee be in Hospital longer then a couple of days? - If you are unsure, it might be a good idea to send it to their home if they have someone living there or to a close relative who can take the gift box to them when they visit.
Are you sending on a Thursday or Friday? The gift boxes are sent via AusPost Express Post, however if they are sent at the end of the week, they may not arrive before Monday.
What details do you need to add to for sending to a hospital? You should give as much detail as possible - the hospital name, address, ward number, bed number, the full giftee name.
What happens when the parcel arrives at the hospital? The parcel will go into their mail room or to switch board room and from there we cannot guarantee how long it will take to arrive with the giftee.
What if the tracking says the parcel was delivered to the post office? This is fine. Hospitals often have redirects in place to a post office. The post office then delivers the express post items once a day, along with the mail.
If it was delivered to the post office this morning, what time will it get to the hospital? This depends on what time the post office delivers the post to the hospital every day. If it arrives after 8am, there's a good chance the parcel won't get to the hospital until the following day.
