Our Delivery
We dispatch Monday to Friday. This excludes Bank Holidays.
If an order is not received within the delivery timeframe we advise prompt follow up. In any event, if you have not received your order within 1 week of despatch please contact us and we will investigate.
We cannot be held responsible for any failed/delayed delivery as a result of incorrect, incomplete or unclear address information. Therefore we would urge you to check this thoroughly as you checkout and on the order confirmation email.
Once your order leaves us we are unable to change address information or redirect orders without incurring charges which you will need to cover. If we cannot contact you to verify delivery details due to an invalid email address and/or telephone number being given we reserve the right to cancel the order.
Return & Exchange Policy
Including Terms and Conditions
By proceeding with your order you are agreeing to these so we would advise you to read them carefully.
Processing Your Order
We process orders on working days only Monday to Friday, this excludes Bank Holidays. If for any reason we are short of stock and are unable to fulfil your order we will contact you via email/message or phone to ask whether you would like an alternative product, a refund or to hold the order until new stock arrives
We reserve the right to cancel and refund any order if we have reason to believe that the order is fraudulent, or we are unable to contact you due to an invalid email address and telephone number being provided.
​
If an item is returned to us as a result of a recipient not following up on the delivery within the time frame, an additional charge will be liable to repackage and resend, or alternatively we will refund minus the delivery charge.
​
If your order is returned to us because the recipient has failed to respond after Royal Mail or our courier has attempted deliveries and notified them, you must cover the cost of resending the order should you wish to do so. If you choose not to resend your order after it’s been returned we will refund you the value of the goods only, not the delivery costs.
​
In the unlikely event that you order goes missing, we will offer to send a replacement order or refund.
If your order arrives damaged, please do not dispose of the package. Please photograph the package and email us so we can resolve any issues as quickly as possible for you.
Our courier deliveries can be delivered any time during working hours. We are unable to provide an estimated time of arrival.
Unless you instruct us otherwise, orders are automatically authorised to be left with a neighbour if the recipient is out (they will always try to deliver directly first though). In this event, our courier or Royal Mail will leave a card advising you where they have left your package. If you DO NOT want your order to be left with any neighbours or there is a safe place where you're happy for it to be left please tell us in the delivery instructions box when you check out so we can inform them.

Our Products & Packaging
The costs shown for our products include VAT at 20%.
The Dog Basket only sends out the best quality products to our customers that are well within their best before date. However we cannot accept responsibility for deterioration caused by climatic conditions or transportation once the goods have left our premises.
Upon receipt, to ensure your treats/food remain in the good condition, store them in a cool, dry place. We also recommend that they're consumed as soon as possible to be enjoyed at their best.
​
We do not manufacture any Treats/Food/Products ourselves, therefore if you have a quality issue with a product we will require it to be returned before we can offer any recompense and to enable us to investigate fully.
If a product is out of stock from a themed gift item, we will substitute it with something else of higher or the same value.
We stock a huge range of products from many different manufacturers. Our product description is to the best of our knowledge at the time it goes live on the website, each time we replenish stock this will be checked against product details we hold.
In line with our environmental commitments, we will choose the most minimal packaging to send your order without compromising presentation or affecting the quality of the products.
