Delivery Policy
At G&K Gifts & Kin, we deliver curated gifts across the UAE with care, speed, and presentation in mind. Every order is prepared to arrive beautifully and leave the right impression.
Because many of our gifts are curated, personalized, perishable, floral, or made-to-order, delivery timelines may vary depending on product availability, preparation time, location, and delivery conditions.
1. Delivery Coverage
We currently deliver to selected areas across the United Arab Emirates.
Delivery availability, timing, fees, and service levels may vary depending on the emirate, area, distance, product type, and delivery schedule.
If a location is outside our usual delivery coverage, we may contact the customer to confirm whether delivery is possible and whether additional charges apply.
2. Delivery Timelines
Estimated delivery windows may be shown at checkout or communicated during ordering.
Delivery timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed unless explicitly confirmed by G&K Gifts & Kin in writing.
Delivery may be affected by:

8. Address Changes
If you need to change the delivery address, please contact us as soon as possible.
Address changes may not be possible once the order has been dispatched, prepared for delivery, or handed to a courier.
If an address change is accepted after preparation or dispatch, additional charges may apply and delivery timing may be affected.
9. Delivery to Offices, Hotels, Schools, Hospitals, and Gated Communities
For deliveries to offices, hotels, schools, hospitals, government buildings, gated communities, or restricted-access locations, customers must provide accurate access instructions.
In some locations, gifts may need to be left at reception, security, concierge, or another designated receiving point.
Once the gift has been accepted by reception, security, concierge, or an authorized representative at the delivery location, the order may be considered delivered.
