Who it suits

  • Gift buyers who need a box sent quickly with next day delivery
  • People who want a cheese, meat and chocolate hamper personalized for the recipient
  • US and CA shoppers who want one-off orders rather than a subscription

Who should look elsewhere

  • Meal kit planners who need a subscription, since Subscription is not available
  • Seafood buyers, as meat, cheese and chocolate has no seafood line
  • Readers outside US and CA who cannot be served

What it does well

Hickory Farms sells gift boxes rather than a weekly plan, so the buying decision is a single order. Next day delivery is available, which puts it ahead of much of the field: only 51.3% of the brands on the site offer it. Personalization is available too, covering 97.8% of the brands here, and that matters most when the box is going to someone else. The range spans meat, cheese and chocolate, so a meat box, a cheese box, a chocolate box and a grocery box can all come from the same name. Where it stops is recurrence: Subscription is not available, so there is no recurring delivery to time around, and no box to skip or pause between gifts.

Who runs it

Hickory Farms is run by Hickory Farms, Inc., headquartered in the United States and founded in 1951, so the name has been trading across holiday seasons for a long time. The company is US based, which shapes both the catalogue and the delivery reach. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, mixing self-serve with human help: 89.4% of brands on the site run a help centre and 62.8% take phone enquiries. That combination of phone and email is a practical advantage when a gift arrives late or damaged.
