The two addresses on a Canadian order

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

Your side of the order

  • Your side of the form Your Canadian address exactly as your bank holds it — street address, city, province and postal code — so the card authorisation goes through first time.
  • Your phone Country code included, for anything that needs answering quickly.
  • Your inbox Confirmation, delivery updates and the receipt all arrive there.

The recipient's side

  • Their side of the form A Massachusetts street address with its ZIP code — that is what decides the route and the dates you are offered.
  • The date you want Chosen on the product page. The window is shown and confirmed at checkout.
  • Their telephone A local number, so a driver who cannot get in has somewhere to turn.

Check the address before you order

Boston Baskets delivers within Massachusetts. 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.

This checks the area, not the day. Dates are offered on the product page, deliveries are planned rather than same-day: no basket leaves on the day it is ordered, and delivery is free from $100.

What a Canadian sender should know

Planned in advanceEvery basket is assembled for a booked date, so same-day delivery is not offered and no order can be brought forward to today.
Date and windowChosen on the product page, confirmed at checkout — not left to us to decide.
Delivery costFree on orders of $100 and over. Below that the charge is shown at checkout before you pay, in US dollars.
When it arrivesMost baskets are left without a signature. Anything you write in the delivery note is what the driver works to.
Wine, beer and spiritsSomeone 21+ has to take delivery and show photo ID. There is no way around it.
Changing the orderCall 1 (888) 912-2388 as early as you can. Once a basket has been built for a date, the room to move it is limited.
ProblemsTell us within 24 hours for anything perishable. Getting a replacement out quickly depends on hearing early.

What a Canadian card sees

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.
It is not an importBecause the gift is made and delivered on the same side, there is no customs entry to clear and nothing can be held at a border.
No charge at the doorThe gift arrives paid for. There is no cash-on-delivery step and no fee for the recipient to cover.

Your message, and how it is printed

The greeting is yours to write and it goes in at checkout. The card is printed in Latin characters, as used in English and French.

Accents surviveEnglish and French spellings, accented characters and punctuation all print as written — nothing is stripped.

A few lines work best — the card is a card, not a page.

Popular with senders abroad

This is what senders outside the United States have sent most since January 2023. The figure against each basket is its position in that list, and nothing else. The median order from Canada is $120 before delivery since January 2023 — half come in under that and half over. Orders from Canada cluster in December, about 3.6 times an average month's share since January 2023. Dates go first in that stretch.

Where to turn from overseas

Checking on itUse the order tracking page, or wait for the email — every change generates one.
Reaching usCall 1 (888) 912-2388, or use the contact page. From Canada the phone is worth it when the delivery is close; otherwise the form is simpler.
If your basket has alcohol in itSomeone 21+ has to be there with photo ID. If nobody is, the basket cannot be left — worth telling the recipient to expect it.

Before you order from abroad

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 Massachusetts. Checkout expects them to differ on this kind of order.

Is there a same-day option from overseas?

There is no same-day option on this store, not for anybody. Deliveries are planned in advance and built for the date you choose.

Can the gift card message be in my language?

Yes — anything in Latin characters, as used in English and French prints exactly as you type it, accents and all.

What will delivery cost me?

Nothing on orders of $100 and over. Below that, the charge appears at checkout in US dollars before you pay. There is no surcharge for paying from outside the United States.

Is the price shown to the recipient?

It is not. Nothing costed goes in the box; the card carries your message and nothing else.

Are there rules about the alcohol baskets?

One that matters: delivery is to a person 21+ with photo ID, without exception, whoever placed the order and wherever from.
