Boston Baskets · Connecticut → Massachusetts

Send Gift Baskets to Massachusetts from Connecticut

Distance is the part people worry about and the part that does not matter. You order from Connecticut; the basket is built in Massachusetts and driven to a Massachusetts address on the day you choose. Being next door changes nothing about the route, the date or the price.

The CT end and the MA end

Checkout collects two addresses and they are allowed to disagree: the delivery address is in Massachusetts, the billing address is yours in Connecticut. Only the first one affects anything.

What you fill in

  • Your address As registered to your card in CT — it is compared with your bank's record, so it is worth copying from a statement.
  • Your phone For order questions only.
  • Your inbox Where confirmation and any delivery update land.

What the recipient's side needs

  • Recipient's address In Massachusetts, with its ZIP code. Everything about the delivery follows from it, including which dates you are offered.
  • The date Picked before you add the basket to the cart, from that address's own list.
  • Recipient's number Only ever used for the delivery itself.

Is that ZIP code in the delivery area?

Enter the ZIP code you have. A Massachusetts one is inside the area; anything else is not, and you will be told so plainly.

Area now, date on the product page. Baskets are made up for a booked day rather than sent out same-day, and orders of $100 and over carry no delivery charge.

The delivery terms, briefly

Every delivery is plannedBaskets are assembled for a booked date. There is no same-day service, not on any order, so the earliest day is the first one the product page offers.
Picking the dayThe date is chosen on the product page and the delivery window is confirmed at checkout.
Delivery chargeFree on orders of $100 and over. Under that it is shown at checkout before you pay.
If nobody is inThe instruction you write at checkout is what is followed — a neighbour, a porch, a reception desk.
Baskets with drink in themSomeone 21+ must take delivery and show photo ID — there is no way around it.
If the plan changes1 (888) 912-2388. The earlier the call, the more can be done.
Problems on arrivalThe window for perishable items is 24 hours — that is what makes a replacement possible.

Prices, tax and the total

Same prices, same termsWhat a Boston customer pays is what you pay. The order's origin has no effect on the total.
Tax is a Massachusetts matterThe delivery address decides the tax, so a CT billing address makes no difference to it. The figure appears at checkout.
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 and your card. The receipt goes to your email.

Your greeting message

Every basket carries a personalised greeting message, typed into the box at checkout and printed exactly as you enter it. Nothing is re-worded and no house wording is added.

A sentence or two fits comfortably; much more than that and it stops looking like a gift card.

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. $121 is the median Connecticut order since January 2023, taken before delivery — the midpoint of the list. The one seasonal peak on this route since January 2023 is January, at roughly 2.2 times a normal month.

Questions that come up on this route

Do I pay CT tax on this?

No — the tax follows the Massachusetts address the gift is delivered to, not the address your card is registered to. It appears at checkout.

Which dates can I choose?

Whatever the product page shows for the Massachusetts address you are sending to. Those are the days genuinely open to it, and the window is confirmed at checkout.

Which address decides the delivery?

The Massachusetts one. It sets the route, the dates offered and the tax; the billing address affects none of those.

Are there rules on the alcohol baskets?

One that matters: delivery to a person 21+ with photo ID, whoever ordered it and from wherever.

What does delivery cost?

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

Will my address be shown to them?

No. Your Connecticut address is used for the card and nothing else — it is not printed on the card or the packaging.
