Send Gift Baskets to Connecticut from Canada

You are in Canada; the person you are thinking of is in Connecticut. The gap closes the simple way — the basket is made up in Manchester and taken to their door by courier, so nothing is posted overseas, nothing waits at a border and nothing arrives looking like it has travelled.

Sending from Canada: what the form asks for

There are two addresses on the order. One is the recipient's, in Connecticut. The other is yours, as your bank holds it in Canada. Neither affects the other.

Your side of the order

  • Billing details These belong to you, not to the recipient: the address your card is registered to in Canada, including the postal code.
  • Contact number With the country code. Kept for order questions only.
  • Email address Where the confirmation and any later update are sent. Nothing is posted to you.

The recipient's side

  • Recipient's address Street and ZIP code inside Connecticut. Everything about the delivery follows from it.
  • Delivery notes Gate codes, a side entrance, a reception desk — the store asks for complete details.
  • Recipient's phone Used at the door if needed, and for no other purpose.

Check the address before you order

Deliveries are made within Connecticut. Put the recipient's ZIP code in and it will tell you whether the address is inside the area — worth doing from Canada before you choose a basket.

The cut-off is 2 p.m. Eastern time, not yours: orders in by then can be delivered the next day across eligible Connecticut areas. Free on orders of $100 and over.

The delivery, in seven lines

The next-day cut-off2 p.m. Eastern time, for eligible Connecticut areas. Allow for the time difference when you order.
Choosing the dayNext day is the earliest; a later date can be asked for, and checkout confirms what the address can take.
What delivery costsNothing on orders of $100 and over; under that you see the charge at checkout before anything is taken.
When it arrivesWhat you write in the delivery notes is what the courier works to; a signature is needed only where required.
Wine, beer and spiritsSomeone 21+ has to take delivery and show photo ID. There is no way around it.
If plans changeRing (860) 200-6522. The store's rule is two days' notice before processing — seven around the holidays.
Something not rightTell support within five business days of delivery and send photographs; keep the packaging.

Paying from Canada, in US dollars

Prices are in US dollarsEvery price on the store is in US dollars. Nothing is quoted in Canadian dollars, so what you read is what is charged, before your bank does anything.
The rate is your bank'sThe dollar amount reaches your bank and your bank turns it into Canadian dollars. The rate and any overseas fee are set by them, so your statement may not match a rate you looked up.
No border in the middleThe only journey the basket makes is the one from Manchester to the recipient's door, so there is no duty and no customs step to delay it.
The recipient pays nothingEverything is settled when you order. Nobody is asked for money at the door, and no invoice follows the basket.

Writing the message from Canada

The gift message goes in at checkout. Read it through before you pay — a change afterwards goes through support and depends on how far preparation has gone.

Sign it clearlyA gift from Canada can be a surprise. Put your name where they will see it.

Keep it shorter than a letter. A few lines read better than a page.

Popular with senders abroad

Ranked by how often they have been sent by senders outside the United States since January 2023. A different selection from that ranking appears on each country's page, so you are not looking at the same shelf twice. Orders from Canada since January 2023 sit at a median of $120 before delivery — a midpoint rather than an average. December is the busiest month on this route since January 2023, running around 5.8 times a normal month's share — worth ordering early if you are sending then.

Questions that come up on this route

What is the latest I can order for tomorrow?

2 p.m. Eastern time, for eligible Connecticut areas. Checkout tells you whether the address qualifies.

Do the billing and delivery addresses have to be in the same country?

No. Your billing address is yours in Canada; the delivery address is the recipient's in Connecticut. Checkout expects them to differ on this kind of order.

Am I charged extra for ordering from abroad?

Not by us. Delivery is free on orders of $100 and over and priced at checkout below that, the same for every order. Your own bank may add a foreign-transaction fee, which is its charge, not ours.

Can I change the gift message after ordering?

Support handles gift-message changes. Ask as early as possible — two days before processing, seven in holiday periods.

Can it be held up at customs?

It cannot — there is no customs step. The gift is made and delivered in the same state, so the only thing between the order and the door is the delivery itself.

Does the recipient see the order details?

No — they see the basket and your message. The receipt goes to your email, not with the delivery.
