What are Harrods Hampers?
Harrods Hampers are luxurious woven gift baskets, shipped to over 200 countries, filled with premium gourmet treats from the London store’s renowned Food Halls—such as chocolates, preserves, and seasonal delicacies—designed as elegant presents for occasions like birthdays, holidays, or celebrations. Hampers are non-alcholic, exportable worldwide, and sent to your private address on file which is encrypted and secret.
Buyers do not need a HostJane account to send Harrods Hampers and can do so anonymously.
Note: Harrods has currently suspended deliveries to Turkey, Canary Islands, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Afghanistan, North Korea, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Niger and Somalia.

Is there a maximum for customizable Hampers?
Buyers can send up to $90,000 in a single Harrods gift purchase.
What is the 100% credit option?
For multiple reasons, HostJane cannot ship Harrods Hampers to every single freelancer in every single country.
Sellers have the ability to opt to receive the physical Harrods Hamper sent to their physical address on record, where HostJane receives the gift funds, buys the item from Harrods for shipment to the Seller’s address provided in Settings, or to buy the Harrods Hamper themselves.
In these instances the Seller or Freelancer will receive the gift funds directly once a gift is bought, added to their HostJane Balance. The Seller can then withdraw the balance to a withdrawal method of their choice and use the credit to purchase the Harrods Hamper for themselves after an expedited fourty-eight (48) hour clearance period. You can withdraw your balance here!
There are no fees for receiving Harrods Hamper gifts.
Example: Jody is a Freelancer with a public business profile on HostJane. An anonymous User gifts her a customizable Harrods Food Hall Hamper for $20. Jody opts to receive a direct credit. Jody pays no fees, receives $20 within 48 hours to buy the item from Harrods herself.
