Can I send a surprise gift without notifying the recipient?

Yes! UniHop would be very delighted to be part of your surprise and help make the delivery go as smoothly as possible. If you are sending a surprise gift, you can enter an alternate phone number on the order so delivery notifications are sent there instead of to the recipient.

Details

UniHop normally sends delivery updates to the contact number entered on the order. If the delivery is meant to be a surprise gift, the best option is to use an alternate phone number that you would like notifications sent to.

This helps prevent the recipient from receiving delivery progress updates before the gift arrives.

You can also add drop-off instructions for the driver, including any important reminders. If needed, write in the notes that the driver should call the recipient only upon arrival so the surprise is not spoiled too early. This helps the driver complete the delivery while keeping the gift a surprise for as long as possible.

To help avoid confusion, make sure your delivery instructions are clear and easy to follow. UniHop can also monitor the order closely and make sure the assigned driver is aware of any important delivery notes related to the surprise.

What’s next?

If you are planning a surprise gift delivery, make sure to:

• enter the phone number where you want delivery updates to be sent
• include clear drop-off instructions for the driver
• add the recipient’s phone number in the instructions only if the driver may need to call them at drop-off

If you have any special instructions for the delivery, include them when placing the order so the team can help support a smooth surprise delivery.
