Toronto Baskets · from New Zealand
Gift baskets for Toronto, ordered from New Zealand
Place the order from New Zealand and we do the rest in Toronto: the basket is made up to order and taken to the recipient — the same day around Toronto and the GTA, by courier elsewhere in Ontario. You pay in Canadian dollars; the recipient pays nothing and no customs or import fee applies.
Buying from New Zealand, delivering in Ontario
Nothing about a New Zealand order is unusual to us; the only slip we ever see is the buyer's details typed where the recipient's belong:
- Who pays — your own name as printed on the card, plus your street address, suburb, city and postcode, in the billing section; put your postcode there too.
- Who receives — their full name, Canadian street address, city, ON, Canadian postal code (M5V 3L9 style) and their telephone number in the delivery section, because that's who the driver calls.
- Who it's from — the greeting card says, in your words; nothing on the packing slip mentions a price.
The charge, in plain terms
PricingIn CAD. The menu's alternatives are USD, GBP, EUR, AUD and JPY; New Zealand dollars is missing, so the CAD amount is your reference.
On your statementThe transaction is in Canadian dollars: gift, Canadian tax and the delivery fee for the recipient's address, shown up front. Conversion to New Zealand dollars — and any charge for it — is your bank's, at a rate the store neither sets nor sees.
Which cardsVisa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB — read from the store's own footer on 2026-09-17. Cards from New Zealand go through when the billing address is the card's.
Border feesThere aren't any. The gift is domestic on the Canadian side, so customs, duty and import charges never come into it, and the recipient owes nothing.
How soon can it get there?
Type the recipient's Canadian postal code (not your own). The reply is the checkout's own delivery system: whether the address is same-day or courier, and how many days.
The 11:00 a.m. Eastern cut-off gives same-day delivery in Toronto and the GTA (free from $100 up, else the charge at checkout); the 2 p.m. Eastern cut-off gets a courier parcel moving to the rest of Ontario, one to three business days away, with the rate at checkout.
Timing: Eastern Time, translated
Delivery runs on Eastern Time — the recipient's clock in Ontario. Same-day hand delivery across Toronto and the GTA needs the order by 11:00 a.m. Eastern on the delivery day, seven days a week (businesses no later than 5 p.m., homes no later than 9 p.m.); courier orders to the rest of Ontario ship the same day when placed by 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday, and arrive in one to three business days. Converted for September 21, 2026:
| Time zone | Same-day cut-off (11:00 a.m. ET) | Courier cut-off (2:00 p.m. ET) |
|---|---|---|
| New Zealand (Pacific/Auckland, NZST) | 3:00 a.m. the next day | 6:00 a.m. the next day |
Today on this device: — for same-day, — for courier (your device's time zone: —).
Two calendars are in play: the table is correct for the date it names and moves an hour when either country changes its clocks, while the live line is today's. Checkout wants the recipient's date in Eastern time — with Toronto past 11 a.m., the earliest same-day date is the next one. Closure days: Thanksgiving, Mon Oct 12; Christmas Day; Boxing Day; New Year's Day.
Writing the card and the address from New Zealand
English and Māori are spoken in New Zealand; the store and checkout are in English.
- Card message. Latin letters, any language — it's printed verbatim.
- Your own details. Latin letters, as on the card statement.
- Recipient details. Latin letters for the name and the Canadian address; the label and the courier's systems are English and can't verify another script at the door.
- Numbers to call. Recipient: their Canadian number with area code, in the delivery fields. You: New Zealand country code is fine.
What customers choose most, store-wide

Before you order from New Zealand
Do you accept New Zealand cards?
Yes: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB, billed to your New Zealand address. The amount is in Canadian dollars, converted by your card issuer.
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 of $100 or more in the same-day zone; courier shipping is shown to you at checkout.
Same-day from abroad — really?
Yes, when the address is in Toronto or the GTA and the order arrives by 11:00 a.m. Eastern that day (see the New Zealand equivalent in the table). The rest of Ontario is courier: order by 2 p.m. Eastern, delivered in one to three business days.
Will it be left if they're out?
Yes for most gifts — in a safe place or with a neighbour, with a note to the recipient; couriers can do the same. Alcohol is never left: it's re-attempted or held.
Where New Zealand's gifts go
Hand delivery the same day in Toronto and the GTA (Richmond Hill, Burlington, Whitby, Pickering, Thornhill and more); courier everywhere else in Ontario.

The places we deliver to most each have a page of their own — Toronto, Scarborough, Mississauga, Ajax, East York, Etobicoke, Kitchener.
