Sending a gift basket to British Columbia from Alberta
For anyone in Alberta with someone to spoil in British Columbia: the basket is put together in our Vancouver studio and delivered by our own drivers (same-day, Vancouver and the Lower Mainland) or by courier across BC. Same dollars, same country, no fees the recipient has to settle.

Check the recipient's postal code
Use the recipient's BC postal code here, never your own. The result is the store's real answer for that address — same-day hand delivery or a courier estimate.

Two rules that don't travel with you from Alberta
Sales tax and the drinking age are set by where the gift arrives, not where the card is. For a BC delivery that means BC's tax and BC's age, even for a buyer in Alberta.
GST and provincial taxThe order carries 5% GST + 7% PST because the delivery is in BC — a different figure from the 5% GST only charged in Alberta.
AlcoholA gift with wine, beer or spirits is handed only to someone 19+ — BC's legal drinking age, a year older than Alberta's 18. Photo ID is checked at the door and the gift is never left unattended.
What delivery costsNothing on orders over $100 in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Courier deliveries elsewhere in BC carry the charge checkout shows for that postal code.
Their telephone numberBelongs with the delivery address; it's the number the driver or courier will ring.
The greeting cardCarries your message and your name, so the recipient knows who sent it; the packing slip shows no prices.

What the Alberta orders tell us
Albertans send mostly into the same-day zone — 86% of their BC gifts — with 43% to Vancouver, 8% to Surrey and 7% to North Vancouver. The typical Alberta order is the $135 median. 33% of orders arrive in December. A workplace is the delivery address 21% of the time, versus 29% for everyone who buys from us.
No single gift stands out for Alberta: what Albertans choose tracks what the store's senders choose overall, so the ranking above is a fair guide. Figures are shares of orders paid for in Alberta and delivered in British Columbia, 2024 to today; the median is the middle order, not an average.
Following the order from afar
Tracking the delivery
Check order tracking with the email address you ordered with and the postal code on the order: same-day runs report as delivered, courier parcels show the carrier's tracking.
Talking to the studio
The studio answers seven days a week, 6:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Pacific, by email ([email protected]) or phone (+1 (604) 636-0960) — contact page. Converted for September 17, 2026:
- Mountain (MDT): 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Wine, beer, spirits
For anything containing wine, beer or spirits: 19+, photo ID checked, signed for, never left. If the recipient is out, the driver comes back.
The questions we hear most
Can I still get same-day if I order in the Alberta afternoon?
Only while it is still before 11:00 a.m. Pacific in Vancouver — 12:00 p.m. for you. After that the gift goes out on the next delivery day.
Is the drinking age BC's or Alberta's?
BC's, because that is where the gift is handed over: 19+ with photo ID, although Alberta's own age is 18.
What does the recipient see?
The basket, the greeting card with your message and your name — and no prices anywhere.
Do I pay more for delivery because I'm in Alberta?
No — delivery is priced by the recipient's address, not yours: free over $100 in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, a courier charge elsewhere in BC, shown before you pay.
Can I track a courier delivery?
Yes: the carrier's tracking number is on the order tracking page, reached with the email address you ordered with and the postal code on the order. Same-day deliveries show as delivered when the driver finishes.
