I've placed an order with PTL's HwB, noting that this year for Christmas it appears to have a wider range of hamper price points from A$35.00 upwards.

Standard delivery at A$14.95 is also reasonably priced.

A good sign is that from October to November, monthly visits to the HwB website rose from 76,000 to 132,500.

You'd hope that in December, there'd be even more viewers, and subsequently purchasers of HwB's excellent hampers.

I am no longer a PTL shareholder (better returns via thermal coal stocks NHC, WHC and YAL) but PTL remains a well run 'little Aussie battler' company.

With multiple previous HwB orders, I have never had a problem: the packages arrive to the nominated address promptly via Australia Post subsidiary StarTrack.

Without exception, my hamper recipients have been pleased with the gift (and the thoughts and prayers behind each), so all I can say is if you have friends who are geographically distant or who live on their own, place an order with HwB forthwith as the window to ensure pre-Christmas delivery is closing fast. Couriers will have been under pressure due to Black Friday's online orders, even though physical shops are open.
