About Us
Uniting Queensland Business
The Hamper Collective unites many Regional Queensland small businesses in one box.
We source the finest handcrafted items our region has to offer. Our hampers are made by locals, for locals, with gift delivery available in Rockhampton.
Hand Delivered in Rockhampton
Currently our pricing includes next-day gift delivery within Rockhampton (4700-4701).
Pickup is available from Frenchville by arrangement - please email or send us a message on Facebook to discuss.
Due to the weight and fragile nature of some hampers, not all of them are suitable for postage. Please see the individual descriptions for each item for more details.
The Benefit in Shopping Local
We aim to help small businesses and local entrepreneurs grow their reach. Follow us on Facebook to get to know all of the people behind the products, their families, their day-jobs and the hard work that goes into getting their passion-projects out into the community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there anywhere I can view your hampers?
Sorry, we don't have a shop front. All of our current options are available on our website. We also do custom orders, so feel free to email or PM us of Facebook with your ideas and enquiries.
How do I get my products featured in your hampers?
The contents of our hampers will change seasonally. We currently plan hampers 3-6 months in advance and are always on the lookout for new products to include. If you're a hand-crafter based in Regional Queensland, who makes items that you feel aligns with our branding, that will fit in our boxes, please email us or send us a message on Facebook. Include a brief description about you and your business and some photos of items you think would be suitable, for us to keep on file.
Can I choose the items in my Hamper?
All of our hampers are pre-made, in limited quantities, based on the handcrafted stock available at the time. For both ourselves, and a lot of our suppliers, making stock for our hampers is their second job (or even their third). So we try and order a variety of related items in small quantities that will tell a 'story' to the gift recipient. Feel free to send us a message if you have something specific in mind that you would like made. If you include a 'theme' or style of gift you are looking for, and how much you'd like to spend, we can put together some ideas and send you some options.
Can I specify a delivery time?
Due to full-time work commitments, we offer next-day delivery. Hamper delivery routes will be determined by our route planner, based on the address' of orders received. We are unable to take requests for specific times, however, you can request the date of delivery.
What should I write in the 'special instructions' section?
Please tell me everything I need to know to get the hamper to the recipient or their front door. For example: How to get in. Which gate to use and where is the latch? Which reception area to take it to. Will I be harassed by dogs or magpies? Where is the safest spot to leave it if no one is home?
DOG POLICY: If a dog is able to get to me between the front gate and the front door (even if it's a friendly one) I am unable to deliver the hamper to this area. Please leave me instructions as to where I can leave it, such as the garage or side entrance, or leave me the recipients number to call when I arrive. Alternatively, please consider getting it delivered to their place of work instead.
If the hamper is being delivered to a hospital, please let me know which ward they are in and the room/bed number if you know it.
