  • Why can't I view my Giftlist?

    Your Giftlist is a private, secure listing of names, addresses and gifts you've sent in the past. Giftlists are seasonal in design and are not available year around. In order to access any active Giftlist, you must be logged in to your online account.

    There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to view your Giftlist. It may not yet be active or you have multiple accounts and the Giftlist you are trying to find is tied to a different account than the one you are accessing. If you need help with your Giftlist contact us by email or call 1-877-322-1200 so one of our customer care representatives can assist you.

Delivery & Processing Inquiries

  • How soon will my order ship once the order is placed?
    Most items are available for immediate shipment. However, monthly fruit items are picked at their peak and shipped as soon as they are harvested. Should unseasonable weather affect the harvest, fruit shipments may be delayed up to three weeks or more – until the crop reaches delicious perfection.
  • I ordered Express. Why didn't my gift arrive when I expected it to?

    Orders placed after 10:00 AM PT will be processed the next business day, and our carriers do not count weekend days in the calculation of their shipping.

    • An order placed after 10:00 AM PT, on a Monday, shipping Overnight Express, will arrive Wednesday.
    • An order placed after 10:00 AM PT, on a Monday, shipping by 2-Day Air, will arrive on Thursday.
    • An order placed after 10:00 AM PT, on a Thursday, shipping Overnight Express, will arrive on the following Monday.
    • An order placed after 10:00 AM PT, on a Thursday, shipping by 2-Day Air, will arrive on the following Tuesday
  • Why do I have to pay extra for express delivery over and above the normal delivery & processing charges?
    The Express Delivery charges are in addition to the Standard Delivery charge. The Standard Delivery charge covers the costs incurred from processing and packaging the order. The Express charges are what we must pay our carrier to deliver the package via Express. To view our Delivery and Processing terms online, click here.
  • Can I specify an exact delivery date?

    When you need a gift to arrive on a specific date, you will need to select an Expedited Delivery Method. We have 3-Day Express, 2-Day Express and Overnight delivery services available. Otherwise, all gifts that ship by Standard Delivery will arrival within a window of 5 business days.

    Please note, our dates are not specific arrival dates but a date by which we can get that gift to the address specified.

    If the item you chose is not available to arrive by your requested date, we recommend you select an alternate item or date.

  • Why can't I select a specific date? All I see is month for the delivery of my package!

    Monthly fruit gifts (items with this Flashing Sun indicator on their product page) are harvested during the month the fruit reaches its peak quality. Because the harvest can vary, we cannot honor requests for specific arrival dates.

    We hope this will provide some useful information for shopping our site in the future.

  • The gift that arrived was not the gift I ordered! Why wasn't I notified about the substitution?

    Unfortunately, sometimes we experience unexpected delays. We believe it best to send a substitute item to ensure you or your recipient receives a gift by the intended date.

    We do our best to contact our customers when substitution becomes necessary. But due to the sheer volume of orders we experience, especially during the peak of the holiday seasons, it is not always possible to do so. When this occurs, the majority of our customers have indicated they prefer we ship a substitute. Our policy is stated in our catalog as follows:

    “If the item of your choice is unavailable or does not meet our high standards for quality, we may need to substitute an item of equal or greater value.”
  • How do I change the address for my catalog?
    Use the feedback area of this site to contact Customer Service by email at service@harryanddavid.com, or call Customer Service at 1-877-322-1200. Be sure to give us your old address as well as your new address.
  • Can I ship to a P.O. Box?
    Yes, you may specify a P.O. Box for the destination of your package. However, we recommend shipping to a street address to ensure that your gift arrives in perfect condition.
  • Can I ship gifts to a Foreign or an A.P.O./F.P.O. destination?

    Most of our nonperishable gifts can be delivered to A.P.O./F.P.O. and International addresses, through U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail/Military Postal.

Product Inquiries

  • I received some of your items, they look delicious! How long will they stay fresh?

    Some products have a “Best If Used By” date printed on the outside of the packaging. For these items, it is easy to tell when the item is at its very best. Other products have a Lot Code rather than a “Best If Used By” date. The Lot Code is a string of letters and numbers which usually indicates a date of manufacture, the plant, shift and period within the shift the product was made. Lot Codes are not decipherable by us.

    Products with a Lot Code are best if consumed within two months of receipt. This applies to all edibles, excluding fruit, and it is assumed the product has been stored correctly and cared for properly (i.e. cheese, sausage, etc. stored in the refrigerator; bakery items stored in the freezer). Exceptions to this rule include shelf stable items such as our jarred preserves, our Pepper & Onion Relish or our vacuum-sealed Smoked Salmon. These items are safe for consumption (if unopened) for up to 2 years from receipt.

  • My pears arrived in perfect condition, but they aren't ripe yet … what do I do?

    To ripen Royal Riviera® Pears, keep them in their shipping box – with the lid on – at room temperature. While they may be ready to eat when they arrive, it usually takes a few more days for them to ripen fully. Check them daily by pressing your thumb gently to the flesh at the base of the stem. When ripe, it will yield slightly.

    Color is not an indicator of ripeness. Royal Riviera® Pears retain their pale green hue even when they’re mellow and juicy inside. Royal Riviera® Pears are not a clear-skinned fruit, and some degree of freckling or russeting is to be expected. This does not affect their flavor or quality.

    Once ripe, place the pears in the refrigerator. Refrigeration slows the ripening process, but doesn't stop it entirely. So be sure to enjoy your pears within a week to ten days.

  • I have allergies to certain ingredients (gluten, peanuts, etc.) that may be found in your products. Where can I obtain ingredient information for your items?

    Harry & David Operations, Inc. is in compliance with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (Title II of Public Law 108-282) as of January 1, 2006. Harry & David is 100% compliant with the new Act as currently defined.

    We have contacted our ingredient suppliers to insure that all ingredients are declared on the label. Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, our labels list all ingredients. For those with peanut allergies, we also include a disclaimer stating “May contain trace amounts of other nuts or allergens not listed in the ingredients”. Also, since Gluten and other allergens are found in wheat and some other grain products, we encourage you to read the ingredient information carefully and determine if the product is appropriate for your consumption. If you cannot locate an ingredient label on the product you received, contact us with the product name or item number and we will gladly research the information for you.

  • Can I build custom gifts?
    Most of our gifts are pre-packaged for shipment, and customization is not possible. We have added a new Create Your Own offer for several gifts so you can choose your favorite flavors. Also, many individual items are available at your local Harry & David Store.

Billing Questions

  • Why do you charge sales tax?

  • I am ordering for myself. Why won't it let me have a separate billing & shipping address?

    When you create your online account, the address you enter into the address form is your Billing Address. If you need a Shipping Address for yourself that is different from your Billing Address, you will need to create a new entry in your Address Book.

    There are two easy ways to create a new entry in your address book:

    • When selecting the recipient of item you wish to purchase, select ‘Add New Name' in the dropdown and enter your shipping address.
    • Login to your account, and add a new address through your Address Book.

  • Do you offer franchising opportunities?
    Thank you for your interest in our company. However, all of our stores are company owned and cannot be opened as a franchise. If you are interested in a store manager opportunity, we invite you to find more information here.
  • The item I want to purchase is sold-out at my local Harry & David store. Will you match the price if I order online?

    Because the products offered in our catalog and on our website must be specially packed for shipping by mail, prices may be higher than for a similar item in our store. that doesn't require special protective packaging.

    What's more, our stores carry many products that are unavailable in our catalogs or on our website – and vice-versa. As a result, prices are not identical and we are unable to match the prices.
