Gift baskets for Toronto, ordered from Nova Scotia
Place the order from Nova Scotia and the rest happens in Toronto: the basket is made up to order and taken to the recipient — same-day around Toronto and the GTA, by courier elsewhere in Ontario. No border, no conversion, no surprises at the door.
Delivery timing for a Nova Scotia buyer
Same-day delivery in Toronto and the GTA closes at 11:00 a.m. Eastern; the courier to everywhere else in Ontario closes at 2:00 p.m. Eastern and arrives in one to three business days. The table puts both into Nova Scotia time (worked out for September 21, 2026):
| Time zone | Same-day cut-off (11:00 a.m. Eastern) | Courier cut-off (2:00 p.m. Eastern) |
|---|---|---|
| Atlantic (ADT) | 12:00 p.m. | 3:00 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 Thanksgiving, Mon Oct 12; Christmas Day; Boxing Day; New Year's Day.
Same-day or courier? Check the postal code
One field, the recipient's postal code: it returns whether that Ontario address is on our same-day runs or on the courier, and roughly how long the courier takes.
The checker reads the delivery postal code; the buyer's postal code is a checkout matter.
Two rules that don't travel with you from Nova Scotia
Sales tax and the drinking age are set by where the gift arrives, not where the card is. For an Ontario delivery that means Ontario's tax and Ontario's age, even for a buyer in Nova Scotia.
HSTThe order carries 13% HST because the delivery is in Ontario — a different figure from the 14% HST charged in Nova Scotia.
The age ruleOntario sets the age at 19+ — Nova Scotia agrees; the recipient shows photo ID and signs, and a bottle is never left on a doorstep.
Delivery chargeFree on orders of $100 and more across Toronto and the GTA; for courier addresses in the rest of Ontario the charge is shown at checkout for the recipient's postal code.
The recipient's phoneGoes in the delivery fields — the driver or courier calls the recipient, never the buyer.
The greeting cardCarries your message and your name, so the recipient knows who sent it; the packing slip shows no prices.

What the Nova Scotia orders tell us
Of the gifts paid for in Nova Scotia and delivered in Ontario since late 2022, 86% went to same-day addresses in Toronto and the GTA — 64% to Toronto, 8% to Mississauga and 4% to Brampton. The median Nova Scotia order came to $130. December is the busiest month, with 30% of the year's orders; 9% of Nova Scotia gifts go to a workplace address, against 24% for the store's senders overall.
A small record — enough to describe where the gifts go and what they cost, not enough to rank them; the grid uses the store's own leaders. Figures are shares of orders paid for in Nova Scotia and delivered in Ontario, 2022 to today; the median is the middle order, not an average.

Delivery status
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.
Reaching us from Nova Scotia
Reach support at +1 (416) 259-2400, 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Eastern, with extended hours during major holidays. Where you are (September 21, 2026):
- Atlantic (ADT): 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
The 19+ rule
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.
Asked by Nova Scotia buyers
Is the cut-off in my time or Toronto's?
Toronto's. Same-day delivery in Toronto and the GTA needs the order in by 11:00 a.m. Eastern, which is 12:00 p.m. in Nova Scotia. The table above converts both cut-offs.
Who do I contact if something goes wrong?
Customer support: +1 (416) 259-2400 during 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Eastern, or the contact page whenever suits you.
Why is the tax different from what I see in Nova Scotia?
The gift is delivered in Ontario, so Ontario's 13% HST applies instead of Nova Scotia's 14% HST. Checkout shows the exact amount before payment.
Is the drinking age Ontario's or Nova Scotia's?
Ontario's, because that is where the gift is handed over: 19+ with photo ID — Nova Scotia's 19 matches.
Will the recipient know it's from me?
Yes — your message and your name go on the greeting card. The packing slip shows no prices.
