Send Gift Baskets to Massachusetts from North Carolina
An order placed in North Carolina is handled exactly like one placed in Boston. Nothing is posted across the country — the basket is assembled here and delivered here, on a date you set while you are choosing it.
Ordering in NC, delivering in MA
There is no need to make the addresses match. A NC billing address with a Massachusetts delivery address is the ordinary shape of an order on this page.
What you fill in
- Billing address Your own address in North Carolina, 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.
What the recipient's side needs
- Delivery address A Massachusetts street address and ZIP code. This is what the route and the available dates are worked out from.
- Delivery date Chosen on the product page before the basket goes into the cart; the window is confirmed at checkout.
- Their phone A local number, used at the door if nobody answers.
Is that ZIP code in the delivery area?
One box and a straight answer. Worth doing before you spend time choosing, particularly if the address was passed to you second-hand.
The date is chosen on the product page, not here, and deliveries are planned rather than same-day. No delivery charge on orders of $100 and over.
The delivery terms, briefly
The money side
Chosen most by senders in other states
The order comes from what senders in other states have actually sent since January 2023, not from what we would like to move. The number is the rank. Orders from North Carolina since January 2023 sit at a median of $155 before delivery, which is a midpoint and not an average. The one seasonal peak on this route since January 2023 is March, at roughly 2.7 times a normal month.

Asked often by out-of-state senders
Does ordering from another state slow it down?
No. The basket is made in Massachusetts for the date on the order, so where you are has no effect on when it arrives.
Whose sales tax applies?
Massachusetts. Tax is worked out from the delivery address, so your own NC rate does not come into it. The amount is shown at checkout before you confirm.
What does delivery cost?
Nothing on orders of $100 and over. Below that the figure is shown at checkout before you pay.
Does my card need a Massachusetts address?
No. Enter your North Carolina address exactly as your bank holds it — that is what the authorisation is checked against — and put the Massachusetts address in the delivery fields.
Does the recipient have to pay anything?
No. The basket, tax and delivery are all settled when you order, and nobody is asked for money at the door.
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.
