Delivery, Post & Packing Costs

We offer a mail order service or a gift packaging option.

Mail Order

Items are simply packed in a bubble padded envelope. Breakable items may be bubble wrapped for additional protection. Ideal if you would like to wrap the items yourself, or if they are just things for you.

Gift Packaging

Gift packaging includes your personal message on a card in the Sprogbox.  Goods are wrapped in purple tissue paper, sealed with a Sprogbox sticker, and packed into a sturdy white postal box. We then finish with a purple ribbon before dispatching your box in a plastic mailing bag. Breakable items may be bubble wrapped for additional protection. This price includes message card, postal box, tissue, ribbon, postal packing and delivery.

We notice that some gift sites offer "free gift boxes", but when you get to the checkout you have to pay £6.50 upwards for postage! We're not happy with this kind of approach, so we offer a variety of delivery options. You can choose from:

UK orders sent out by First Class Royal Mail usually take 1-3 working days to arrive.

Standard First Class Royal Mail UK - with message & gift packaging - £5.45

Royal Mail Special Delivery (next working day by 1.00 pm if order placed before 12 noon) - no message or gift packaging - £8.95

Delivery address

Please choose to have your Sprogbox delivered to the new mum and baby at home; to the dad's workplace or directly to you, so you can deliver it in person. Please note that someone needs to be at the delivery address to accept the parcel. We would strongly recommend that you do not send your Sprogbox to a hospital address, as packages often remain in their post rooms for several days before being distributed, by which time the new mum has probably gone home or been moved to another ward!
