Send Gift Baskets to Massachusetts from New Jersey

You are in New Jersey and they are in Massachusetts, which sounds like a shipping problem and is not one. The gift never leaves the state it is delivered in; only the payment comes from NJ.

The NJ 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 New Jersey. Only the first one affects anything.

What you fill in

  • Where the card is registered Your NJ address. It never appears on the delivery and is not shown to the recipient.
  • Contact number Used only if something about the order needs settling quickly.
  • Email address The whole paper trail — confirmation, updates, receipt — goes there rather than to the delivery address.

What the recipient's side needs

  • Where it goes Street address and ZIP code inside Massachusetts — home, office, hospital, hotel.
  • Which day Set on the product page. The dates shown are the ones genuinely open to that address.
  • A number for the driver The recipient's, in case the address needs clarifying on the day.

Check the MA address first

Type the ZIP code the basket is going to. This checks the area; the dates themselves live on the product page.

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.

How the delivery works

Scheduled aheadDeliveries are booked in advance and no order is rushed out, which is why the date is settled before the basket goes in the cart.
The date is your choiceSet it on the product page from the days open to that address; checkout confirms the window.
Delivery chargeFree on orders of $100 and over. Under that it is shown at checkout before you pay.
At the addressA signature is required only where the order calls for one; otherwise your note decides what the driver does.
Baskets with drink in themSomeone 21+ must take delivery and show photo ID — there is no way around it.
Changing somethingRing 1 (888) 912-2388 as early as possible. Once a basket is built for a date there is little room to move it.
Problems on arrivalThe window for perishable items is 24 hours — that is what makes a replacement possible.

Paying from New Jersey

Same prices, same termsWhat a Boston customer pays is what you pay. The order's origin has no effect on the total.
Worked out at checkoutTax is calculated on the Massachusetts address the gift is going to and shown to you before you confirm.
Delivery in the totalFree on orders of $100 and over. Below that, the charge appears at checkout alongside everything else.
No bill follows itWhat the recipient gets is the basket and your card. The receipt goes to your email.

The message that goes with it

The greeting is yours to write. It prints as typed, which is worth remembering if you are pasting something in from elsewhere.

Keep it to a few lines — the card is a card, not a letter.

Orders from New Jersey bunch in September, about 2.0 times an average month since January 2023. Dates go first in that stretch.

Asked often by out-of-state senders

How quickly can a basket arrive if I order from New Jersey?

As soon as the earliest date the product page offers for that address — the same date offered to someone ordering from down the street. The dates depend on the delivery address, not the billing one.

Whose sales tax applies?

Massachusetts. Tax is worked out from the delivery address, so your own NJ rate does not come into it. The amount is shown at checkout before you confirm.

Will I be charged more for ordering out of state?

No. Delivery is free on orders of $100 and over and priced at checkout below that, exactly as it is for a Massachusetts customer. There is no out-of-state fee.

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.

Is anything owed on delivery?

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

Can I send a basket with wine or spirits in it?

Yes. It is handed only to someone 21+ who can show photo ID, so it is worth telling the recipient to expect it — if nobody there can, the basket cannot be left.
