Gift baskets for Vancouver, ordered from Ontario
Ordering from Ontario works exactly like ordering from Vancouver itself: we assemble the gift here and deliver it in BC — same-day in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, courier beyond. The only differences are the clock, the tax and the age rule, and this page explains each.
When to order from Ontario
Same-day delivery in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland closes at 11:00 a.m. Pacific; the courier to everywhere else in BC closes at 2:00 p.m. Pacific and arrives in one to three business days. The table puts both into Ontario time (worked out for September 17, 2026):
| Your time zone | Same-day cut-off (11:00 a.m. Pacific) | Courier cut-off (2:00 p.m. Pacific) |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern (nearly all of Ontario) (EDT) | 2:00 p.m. | 5:00 p.m. |
| Central (the far northwest — Kenora, Rainy River) (CDT) | 1:00 p.m. | 4:00 p.m. |
Today on this device: — for same-day, — for courier (your device's time zone: —).
A same-day gift arrives at a business no later than 5 p.m. and at a house no later than 9 p.m. Seven days a week for same-day; business days for the courier. We do not deliver on Sep 30, Oct 12, Nov 11, Dec 25, Dec 26, Jan 1.
Same-day or courier? Check the 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.
Remember: this wants the recipient's postal code — your own belongs with your billing details.
What changes between Ontario and BC
Where the basket goes sets the tax and the age rule. Yours is a BC delivery, so BC's figures apply — here they are against what you know from Ontario:
Sales taxBC's 5% GST + 7% PST is charged on the order, not the 13% HST you pay at home in Ontario.
The age ruleBritish Columbia sets the age at 19+ — Ontario agrees; the recipient shows photo ID and signs, and a bottle is never left on a doorstep.
The delivery feeWaived over $100 in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland; a courier address in the rest of BC sees its charge at checkout, priced by the recipient's postal code.
A phone number for the doorThe recipient's, in the delivery details — our driver calls them, not you.
The card in the basketYour words, your name — the recipient sees who sent it and never a price.

How Ontario's orders to BC look
Looking at every order billed in Ontario and delivered in British Columbia since the store's records begin: 40% to Vancouver, 10% to North Vancouver and 8% to Surrey; 85% in all reach a same-day address. The median order is $140. December alone is 35% of the year. 18% go to a business address (the store as a whole: 29%).
Nothing Ontario sends is out of line with the store as a whole — the leaders are the store's leaders, and no gift is noticeably more popular from Ontario than from anywhere else. Figures are shares of orders paid for in Ontario and delivered in British Columbia, 2024 to today; the median is the middle order, not an average.

Tracking the delivery
Enter the email address you ordered with and the postal code on the order on the order tracking page. Courier deliveries have a carrier tracking number; same-day ones are marked delivered when the driver is done.
Support hours where you are
Reach support at [email protected] or +1 (604) 636-0960, 6:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Pacific, seven days a week. Where you are (September 17, 2026):
- Eastern (nearly all of Ontario) (EDT): 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
- Central (the far northwest — Kenora, Rainy River) (CDT): 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Wine, beer, spirits
A bottle in the basket means a person aged 19+ must accept it and show photo ID; the driver will not leave it on a step. We arrange another attempt if nobody of age is home.
Before you order from Ontario
How late can a Ontario order be placed for delivery today?
Until 11:00 a.m. Pacific, Vancouver's same-day cut-off — that's 2:00 p.m. on your clock. Later orders are delivered the next day.
Is there any customs, duty or currency charge?
None. This is a Canadian order delivered in Canada — the price is in Canadian dollars, the only tax is BC's sales tax, and nobody pays anything at the door.
Who has to be home for a basket with alcohol?
Someone aged 19+ with photo ID — BC's rule. A bottle is never left unattended; if nobody of age is there, the driver arranges another attempt.
Can I write the card in my own words?
Yes, at checkout — it is printed exactly as typed, signed with your name, and nothing in the parcel mentions a price.
Where is delivery free?
Vancouver and the Lower Mainland on orders over $100. Anywhere else in BC goes by courier and the charge appears at checkout.
