About Harper & Lulu

Harper & Lulu is a Newcastle-based boutique retailer that specialises in thoughtfully curated gift hampers featuring locally sourced gourmet foods, artisan homewares, and hand-poured candles. Operating primarily through their website, harperandlulu.com, they partner with small producers and makers across New South Wales to create modern, aesthetically styled hampers for occasions such as birthdays, new babies, corporate gifting, weddings, thank-you gifts, and seasonal holidays. Many of their hampers include premium chocolates, specialty teas and coffees, bath and body products, and stylish keepsake items, all packaged in reusable boxes or baskets and available for delivery across Australia.

A Harper & Lulu charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you purchase a gift hamper or add-ons (like cards, flowers, or upgraded packaging) through their website or over the phone. Charges can also arise from corporate or bulk orders placed on behalf of a business, or from pre-orders made for future delivery dates such as Christmas or Mother’s Day. In some cases, you might see a temporary authorization hold when you first place an order or update your payment details; this is your bank checking that funds are available and it usually disappears or converts to a final charge within a few days, depending on your bank. If you’ve used Harper & Lulu more than once, you might see recurring or multiple charges around key dates where you’ve scheduled repeated gifts.

To verify or resolve questions about a Harper & Lulu charge, start by searching your email for order confirmations or shipping notifications from harperandlulu.com, and check your text messages if you provided a mobile number at checkout. Review recent gifting occasions—birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, or corporate thank-you gifts—that you may have ordered for yourself or on behalf of your workplace. If you still don’t recognise the charge, visit harperandlulu.com and use their contact form or the email and phone details on their Contact page to reach customer service, providing the exact amount, date of the charge, and the last four digits of the card used. They can look up your order, resend receipts, assist with delivery or billing issues, and, where appropriate, help with cancellations, address changes, or refund requests in line with their policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of purchases typically result in a Harper & Lulu charge on my statement?

Most Harper & Lulu charges come from purchasing a gift hamper, individual gift items added to a hamper, or extras like greeting cards, ribbon upgrades, or express shipping. Corporate clients may see charges for bulk or recurring hamper orders, often around holidays or end-of-year gifting. If you selected a future delivery date (for example, for Christmas or a birthday), the charge is usually processed at the time you place the order, not on the delivery date.

How much do Harper & Lulu hampers usually cost?

Harper & Lulu’s gift hampers generally range from about AUD $45–$70 for smaller boxes, around AUD $80–$150 for standard and premium hampers, and upwards of AUD $150 for large or custom corporate hampers. Additional costs can include delivery fees, express shipping surcharges, or add-ons such as candles, wine (where permitted), or personalised items. The exact amount charged on your statement should match the order total shown at checkout on harperandlulu.com, including GST and shipping.

Does Harper & Lulu offer subscriptions or recurring hamper deliveries?

While Harper & Lulu primarily focuses on one-time gift hampers, they may offer recurring or scheduled gifting options for corporate clients or special occasions (for example, monthly staff appreciation hampers or regular client gifts). If you see multiple similar charges from Harper & Lulu on a pattern (such as monthly or quarterly), it may be linked to a recurring corporate or pre-arranged order. To confirm whether you’re on a recurring arrangement, contact Harper & Lulu directly with your business name or order reference so they can review your account.

Why do I see a small or pending Harper & Lulu charge that later disappears or changes?

Some banks show a temporary authorization when you place an order or update your card details—often this appears as a pending charge for the full order amount, or occasionally a small test amount. This is standard card processing practice to confirm that your payment method is valid and has sufficient funds. The authorization will either drop off within a few business days if the order wasn’t completed, or convert into the final, posted Harper & Lulu transaction that matches your order total.

How can I cancel or change a Harper & Lulu order after I’ve been charged?

Because Harper & Lulu prepares and packs hampers to order, cancellations and changes are time-sensitive. If you need to cancel or update an order (such as changing the delivery date or address), contact them as soon as possible using the details on the harperandlulu.com Contact page, referencing your order number and the charge amount. If your hamper has not yet been packed or dispatched, they may be able to cancel or modify it; once it has shipped, options may be limited to re-delivery arrangements or partial refunds according to their policy.

What is Harper & Lulu’s refund or replacement policy if there’s an issue with my order?

If your hamper arrives damaged, incomplete, or significantly different from what you ordered, Harper & Lulu will generally arrange a replacement, resend missing items, or offer a refund in line with Australian consumer law. You should contact them promptly with your order number, photos of the issue, and details of what went wrong so they can investigate. Refunds, when approved, are usually processed back to the original payment method, but your bank may take several business days to show the credit.

How can I verify a Harper & Lulu charge if I don’t recognize it?

First, check your email (including spam/junk folders) for a receipt or confirmation from harperandlulu.com around the date of the charge, and think about whether you ordered a gift for someone else that was delivered to a different address. If you still can’t identify it, go to harperandlulu.com and use their contact form or listed email/phone to reach support with the date, amount, and the name on the card. They can search their order system using those details and tell you what was purchased and where it was delivered.

How do I contact Harper & Lulu about a suspicious or duplicate charge?

If you believe you’ve been charged twice or see a Harper & Lulu transaction you’re sure you didn’t authorise, contact them directly through the contact details on harperandlulu.com, providing screenshots or a statement excerpt showing the duplicate or suspicious charges. They can confirm whether multiple orders were placed, whether a payment was retried, or if there may have been an error. If they cannot find a matching order or suspect fraud, they will usually advise you to also contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge and secure your account.
