Send Champagne and Gifts to London from Sydney
Sydney is between nine and eleven hours ahead of London, depending on the time of year, which makes the timing of a gift almost the opposite of what you would expect. Order in the evening in Sydney and it arrives in London's morning. Our licensed dispatch unit in Battersea delivers across Greater London 24 hours a day, typically in 30–45 minutes, so you can choose the moment.
Nothing is shipped from Australia. The gift is dispatched in London, so there is no customs, no duty and no fortnight in the post.
