Vancouver Baskets · from the UK
Send gift baskets to Vancouver from the United Kingdom
You order from the UK; the gift is assembled in our Vancouver studio and delivered to your recipient in British Columbia — same-day across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, by courier to the rest of the province. Charged in Canadian dollars; nothing for the recipient to pay, no customs or import fees.
Ordering from the UK for delivery in British Columbia
Yes — a purchaser in the UK can order for a recipient anywhere we deliver in BC. Checkout keeps two addresses apart, and the order goes wrong only when they're mixed:
- Billing details — yours. Your name as it appears on the card, your street address, town and postcode, in the billing fields. Your postcode goes there.
- Delivery details — the recipient's. Their name, their Canadian street address, city, BC and Canadian postal code (letter-number-letter number-letter-number, e.g. V6B 1A1), and their telephone number, in the delivery fields — the driver or courier calls that number, not yours.
- The greeting card carries your name, so the recipient knows who sent it — the packing slip shows no prices.
Currency and payment from the UK
PricesSet in Canadian dollars (CAD). The currency menu at the top of the store can show them in GBP — an estimate at the day's rate, for comparison only.
The chargeYour card is charged in Canadian dollars. Canadian sales tax and the delivery charge for the recipient's address are shown before you pay. Your bank or card provider converts the CAD amount into pounds sterling at its own rate and may add its own fee — the store doesn't set or see that rate.
CardsVisa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB — the marks shown on the store on 2026-09-15. Cards issued in the UK are accepted; the billing address must be the card's.
Not chargedNo customs, duty or import fee — the gift never crosses a border. The recipient pays nothing.
When can it arrive?
Enter the recipient's Canadian postal code — the answer comes from the same delivery service the checkout uses: same-day or courier, and the days.
Same-day across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland when ordered by 11:00 a.m. Pacific (free on orders over $100; otherwise $15.99–$19.99). Elsewhere in BC: courier from Vancouver, one to three business days, order by 2 p.m. Pacific; shipping shown at checkout.
Delivery timing, in your time
Delivery runs on Pacific Time — the recipient's clock in British Columbia. Same-day hand delivery across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland needs the order by 11:00 a.m. Pacific on the delivery day, seven days a week (delivered by 5 p.m. to businesses, by 9 p.m. to homes); courier orders to the rest of BC ship the same day when placed by 2 p.m. Pacific, Monday to Friday, and arrive in one to three business days. Converted for September 15, 2026:

Daylight-saving changes on either side move the gap by an hour; the table is for the date above and the line above it is recomputed for today. Choose the recipient's Canadian delivery date at checkout, not your own calendar date — after 11 a.m. Pacific the earliest same-day date is tomorrow, Pacific time. No deliveries Sept 30 (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation); Thanksgiving, Mon Oct 12; Remembrance Day, Nov 11; Christmas Day; Boxing Day; New Year's Day.

Tracking, support and alcohol
Tracking your order
Order Tracking asks for the email address you ordered with and the postal code on the order. A very recent order may not appear for a few minutes; if it still doesn't, contact support with the order number from your confirmation email.
Support
Customer support — [email protected], +1 (604) 636-0960 — is open 6:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, seven days a week (the store's own stated hours, read 2026-09-15). In your time, for September 15, 2026:
- United Kingdom (BST): 2:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. the next day
Alcohol
Wine, champagne, beer and spirits can be sent to any address in British Columbia where the recipient is 19 or over — BC's legal drinking age. The driver or courier hands a gift containing alcohol only to someone 19+ with photo ID and never leaves it unattended; a courier delivery needs an adult signature. If nobody of age is home, it's re-attempted or held for collection. Kosher wine and alcohol-free gourmet ranges are on the store.
The UK-to-Canada ordering questions
Can I pay with a card issued in the UK?
Yes — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB are accepted from a British billing address. The charge is in Canadian dollars; your bank converts it.
What will it cost me in pounds sterling?
The CAD total — gift, Canadian tax and the delivery charge for the address — is shown before you pay. Your bank sets the GBP amount at its own rate; the store's currency menu gives an estimate only.
Does the recipient pay anything — customs, duty, delivery?
No. The gift is made and delivered inside Canada; there is no customs or import fee. Delivery is free on orders over $100 in the same-day zone; courier shipping is shown to you at checkout.
When do I have to order for same-day delivery?
By 11:00 a.m. Pacific on the delivery day — see the table above for what that is in the UK today — for addresses in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Elsewhere in BC, order by 2 p.m. Pacific to ship that day; delivery takes one to three business days.
Which date do I choose at checkout?
The date you want the gift to arrive at the recipient's address, in their (Pacific) calendar. If it's already past 11 a.m. in Vancouver, the earliest same-day date offered is the next day.
Can I write the card in English?
Yes, in Latin letters — it prints as typed. Names and the delivery address must be in Latin letters.
Can I send wine or spirits?
Yes, to a recipient who is 19 or over. The driver or courier checks photo ID and never leaves alcohol unattended.
What if the recipient isn't home?
Same-day drivers can leave the gift in a safe place or with a neighbour and let the recipient know; couriers may leave it in a safe place. Gifts with alcohol are the exception — they're re-attempted or held.
How do I track the order or get help?
Order Tracking on the store takes the email address you ordered with and the postal code on the order. Support is open 6 a.m. – 5 p.m. Pacific, seven days a week, by chat, phone (+1 (604) 636-0960) or email ([email protected]); have your order number ready.
