Send Gift Baskets to Connecticut from Massachusetts

Distance is the part people worry about and the part that does not matter. You order from Massachusetts; the basket is prepared in Manchester, CT and taken to a Connecticut address by courier. Being next door changes nothing about the route, the cut-off or the price.

Ordering in MA, delivering in CT

Two addresses, two jobs. The Connecticut address sets the route and the dates on offer. Your Massachusetts address is there for the card and nothing else.

What you fill in

  • Billing address Your own address in Massachusetts, as your card statement shows it. It is checked against your card and used for nothing else.
  • Phone A number you answer, in case a question about the order would otherwise wait on email.
  • Email Confirmation, any change and the receipt all arrive here — and it is what order tracking asks for.

What the recipient's side needs

  • Recipient's address In Connecticut, with its ZIP code. Everything about the delivery follows from it, including whether the address is eligible for next-day.
  • Notes for the door Short, practical delivery notes added at checkout.
  • Recipient's number Only ever used for the delivery itself.

Check the CT address first

Type the ZIP code the basket is going to. This checks the area; the date itself is confirmed at checkout.

Area now, date at checkout. Next-day delivery to an eligible address needs the order in by 2 p.m. Eastern; orders of $100 and over carry no delivery charge.

How the delivery works

The cut-off is Eastern timeOrders placed by 2 p.m. Eastern can be delivered the next day across eligible Connecticut areas — worth converting if you are ordering from another time zone.
A later dateA future delivery date can be requested instead; availability for the address and the date are confirmed at checkout.
Delivery chargeFree on orders of $100 and over. Under that it is shown at checkout before you pay.
Handing it overAge verification or an adult signature applies only where the order requires one; otherwise the delivery notes you leave guide the courier.
Baskets with drink in themSomeone 21+ must take delivery and show photo ID — there is no way around it.
If the plan changes(860) 200-6522. Two days' notice before processing is the store's rule; seven around the holidays.
Problems on arrivalFive business days is the window for reporting damage — photographs of the basket and the box make the review quick.

The money side

No surcharge for distanceBecause the basket never leaves Connecticut, there is nothing extra to charge a sender in Massachusetts.
Shown at checkoutTax, where it applies, is itemised at checkout alongside the basket and delivery.
What delivery addsNothing at all from $100 upwards. Under that you see the figure before you pay.
No bill follows itWhat the recipient gets is the basket. The receipt goes to your email.

The message that goes with it

Add the message when you order, not after. A late change is possible only while the basket has not been prepared.

A sentence or two, and your name. Changes after ordering go through support, two days before processing.

What out-of-state senders choose

This is senders in other states' own order, taken from every out-of-state order since January 2023. Each state's page shows a different selection from it, so you are not looking at the same shelf twice. Orders from Massachusetts since January 2023 sit at a median of $132 before delivery, which is a midpoint and not an average. Orders from Massachusetts bunch in December, about 3.1 times an average month since January 2023. Leave room for the seven-day holiday change window.

Questions from MA senders

Can an out-of-state order go out for next-day delivery?

Yes, on the same terms as any other: by 2 p.m. Eastern, to an eligible Connecticut area, confirmed at checkout.

What does delivery cost?

Nothing on orders of $100 and over. Below that the figure is shown at checkout before you pay.

Will anything be added after I pay?

No. Basket, delivery and any tax are all on the checkout page before payment.

What does the recipient learn about me?

Only what you write in the gift message. Your billing details are never passed on.

Can my billing address be in a different state from the delivery address?

Yes, and on this page it usually is. Your billing address is yours in Massachusetts; the delivery address is the recipient's in Connecticut. Checkout expects them to differ.

Is anything owed on delivery?

Nothing. The order is paid in full before the basket leaves.
