Having ordered a Xmas hamper for delivery in mid December, it never arrived. After several attempts at contacting F&M, they finally (January 5th) found they had lost it. Judging by other reviewers on other sites this is a common occurrence with Fortnum & Mason. They are simply unreliable Xmas hampers. Never again!

The hampers are great, but the delivery service is poor - tend to get lost and/or delayed.

In my work environment, im used to recieving Hampers from all and sundry at Christmas time. As a result, i now buy my parents a Hamper from Fortnum and Masons every year. Albeit, its normally one of the alcohol hampers.

F&M's hampers are by FAR and away the best and most impressive hampers to have delivered to you.. Some, lesser organisations send out the hamper and the ingredients seperatly, some others you look at the contents and empty half of it into the bin immediatly, and some are just a complete waste of money.

F&M, in the majority, have hit it right. Cut out the rubbish and concentrate on the popular items. There are, as always, some items you will never eat in some of the hampers, but, that is to be expected.

That aside, my experiences are that F&M are by far and away the best out there.
