One of the most outstanding aspects of our business compared to others in the industry is that you can completely customize almost any product we sell! We offer thousands of items and products upgrades and add-ons!  You can also add items to any one of our pre-existing packages simply by selecting "Which Items Would You Like to Add?” and then following the prompts as they populate. 

Our completely custom products are essentially created from scratch and begin at $0, with the price increasing as you add more items.  Due to the large variety of items that we carry, it is impossible for us to list them all underneath the "custom" options, but once you indicate the type of product you're interested in (such as cookies, chips), you can build your product based on both your preferences and which items would look best. The result will be the exact product that you would like!

For special events or corporate orders, our products can be customized with specific colours or branded items. To have these items included, the branded items must be delivered to our facilities two or three business days (RUSH ORDERS WELCOME ) in advance. If you would like to add a greeting card that you have signed, similar rules apply. For more information about the products we carry, please contact our Customer Service Department by calling, emailing or chat.

Yes, these items can be added to most orders. We do recommend shipping perishable items using same day or next delivery services as these deliveries might need to be left outside and exposed to elements that are beyond our control, such as weather and live animals. 

You can always place an order by telephone, email or by chat. All of these means of communication are secure.

Yes. If you provide your correct email address when placing an order, we will send you a message via email confirming your order within minutes of your order being placed

Our online ordering system (i.e. our website) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Most orders will be confirmed within minutes of being is placed.

Although our warehouses are in Toronto, you can place an order from virtually anywhere in the world using your preferred delivery method. You can place an order online via the website, via chat or email or give us a call! You can call our customer service department between the hours of 9:00 am – 11:59 pm EST, 7 days a week. The customer service department can also answer any questions you might have about the services we provide prior to placing an order.

We accept all major credit cards as payment including Visa, MasterCard and American Express. When placing an order online, you also have the option to pay via PayPal with or without signing into an active PayPal account. Although our website does not always accept all Visa Debit Cards as payment, you can use PayPal to pay via Visa Debit instead by clicking the "Pay with Debit or Credit Card" link after selecting the PayPal option upon checkout. Our online POS system utilizes state of the art data encryption technology to ensure that your credit information is never viewed by or shared with unauthorized personnel. However, if you do not feel comfortable entering your credit card information online, you are welcome to call our customer service department and have a representative place the order for you.

When placing an order, we kindly ask that all customers provide us with a working, local phone number for the recipient in case of delivery issues. It is not uncommon for recipients to be away from home/out of office at the time that an initial delivery is attempted, and having a valid contact number is beneficial when it comes to informing them as to the whereabouts of their package if, for example, the package was left on their front porch, with the front desk/concierge or with a neighbor in their absence. We understand that some packages are intended to be surprises; please be assured that we will only phone the recipient if it is absolutely necessary. If for any reason the delivery cannot be made, the driver or service provider will contact the recipient in an attempt to salvage the delivery and/or make alternative arrangements (although sometimes it is inevitable for a package to be returned to our warehouse, at which point subsequent re-delivery charges may be incurred).

Once you have made your product choices, you will be required to input a greeting card message, delivery information as well as your billing address and credit card information. Please review this information to ensure that it is correct and complete; all fields must be filled in. If you do not supply complete information or if we encounter a problem with your order, we will be in contact with you. Please respond to our phone calls and/or e-mails as soon as possible to avoid further delivery delays.

There is no such thing as "too early" when you are ordering. Orders can be placed as far in advance as you'd like; many of our customers prefer to place their orders for upcoming holidays, events and special occasions well in advance so that they don't forget to send their loved ones something special on their special day. If you do place an order in advance, don't forget to specify your preferred delivery date under "When Would You Like Delivery?". Also remember that our ability to fulfill orders according to these delivery dates is entirely dependent on the delivery/shipping method you select upon checkout.

Online orders and orders placed with our customer service representatives by phone, email or chat can be held for later shipment. If you order online, you can select a future delivery date. If you order by email, phone or chat, please indicate the preferred delivery date. If you want to change the delivery date after an order has been placed, please send us a quick email or chat and we will be happy to complete your order with a new delivery date.

Yes, all customers have the option to add a free personal greeting card message and receive a free greeting card. While placing your order online, simply type your note on page of the product from the "Message (Don't let you generosity go unnoticed, personalize your card message here) If you realize you've forgotten to write a greeting card message after you have placed your order, don't worry! Simply e-mail or chat us the message you'd like to include (you can always reply directly to your order confirmation/receipt), and we'll do our best to update it for you. While greeting card messages aren't mandatory, we do encourage customers to write them because they are a quick and easy way of making sure recipient knows who the package is from. If you'd prefer to provide us with your own physical card, please contact us prior to placing the order so that we can make the proper arrangements. All physical cards must be mailed to our warehouse and arrive no later than three business days prior to the date on which the basket is scheduled to be dispatched from our facilities; we will not be held accountable for cards that are delayed/lost in transit.

A full range of our products are available online including many of upgrades and add-ons.

All prices are in the currency of your country if your location can be determined.

WE ALWAYS CALL YOU FIRST! From time to time, substitutions may be necessary to fill an order in a timely manner. Some of the items on our website may be backordered, discontinued or out-of-stock for a variety of reasons -- most of which are beyond our control. In these circumstances, we will substitute items of equal or greater value in all cases. We reserve the right to substitute any item with an item of equal or greater value. Doing this, will ensure that your order will be delivered on a timely basis and a special event is not missed. Please understand that the utmost care and attention is given to your order to ensure that it is as similar as possible to the one requested.

When you place an order with us, you can expect the order to be delivered with either the exact same or similar contents to what are detailed in the product description and/or depicted in the photograph of our website. As per our substitution policy, minor substitutions are sometimes necessary and do occur from time to time, but we will always substitute products with similar items that are either equal to or greater than the original in value, while taking utmost care to ensure that your purchase retains its original theme and aesthetic. If you upgrade your order or add additional items such as flowers/bouquets, fruits and balloons, the product we send will appear different as additional items have been added. We will always try to stay true to the theme of the event or product you have purchased.

Gourmet food will be best if eaten before the best-before date or slightly thereafter. Many items will last much longer than the best-before date but quality may decrease. Please call, email or chat with us if you have a question about a specific item. Also remember, best-before dates are not expiry dates. Many products are perfectly fine to eat long after the best-before date.

Substitutions are very common in the food & gifting industry – everyone has them as they are a necessary way to have products delivery on time. Our substitution policy is a clause that explains our need to occasionally substitute some of our product's items in order to fulfill orders in a timely manner - such as when an item is low in stock, unavailable or on back order from our suppliers. Under these rare circumstances, we will replace said item(s) with a similar product of equal or greater value at no additional cost to the customer, sender or recipient. Ideally, we would like to be able to inform customers of all substitutions ahead of time before a package is dispatched from our warehouse, but this isn't always possible due to the high volume of orders that we receive on an ongoing basis and/or the short time frames between ordering and delivery.

Chocolate-dipped strawberries, cheeses, fruits, baked goods and flowers are considered perishable items and therefore must be shipped on an expedited basis to maintain freshness. When ordering perishable items, we highly recommend that customers choose the fastest shipping method available during checkout (same-day, next-day, overnight); we also include a similar advisory in the product details of most of our perishable and custom baskets. In the event that a customer opts to ship perishable items using a shipping method that requires longer than the recommended one business days' transit, we may replace the perishable items with non-perishable alternatives to ensure that the order arrives in good condition; for example, substituting fresh cheeses with dips, spreads or jams, chocolate-dipped strawberries with chocolate truffles or chocolate bars, cakes with brownies/cookies, etc). Similar adjustments may be made if we are required to ship an order over the course of a weekend/public holiday, or if we anticipate potential delays due to high volumes, weather, etc. In the event that a customer proceeds to order perishable items using a ground shipping method, we can not guarantee the condition in which said items will arrive, and we trust that customers understand they are not entitled to refunds/replacements if such products are delivered damaged, melted or spoiled.

We deliver to GTA, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Mississauga, Brampton, Bolton, Halton Hill, Berie, Berlington, Brandford, Bradford, Newmarket, Aurora, Richmond Hill, King City, Scarborough, Markham, Etobicoke,Toronto, North York, Stouffvile, Woodbridge, Milton If you dont see the citie that it would be your order ship to please call, email or char with us.

For Local Deliveries - If no one is at home when our driver attempts delivery, our driver will call the recipient to see where they can safely leave the package. If the driver cannot reach the recipient, they will leave a message (if possible) and the driver will leave the package at a safe place without obtaining a signature. If the package cannot be left safely and no one can accept the delivery, re-delivery will be necessary. A re-delivery charge may be required at an additional charge (typically $15-$20). We will try to avoid the re-delivery but will not leave a package in an unsafe place. We will arrange the re-delivery at the earliest possible time - often later in the day or the next day. The re-delivery charge will be charged to your VISA or Mastercard. If you have paid for your order by PayPal, we will not do the re-delivery until we have received the re-delivery fees.

Your order can be tracked by sending a quick email or chat to us or by checking the tracking number that was sent to you by email when you placed the order. Also one of our customer service agent will inform you once your order is on the route and also once delivered.

When an order is delivered to the recipient, the only paperwork that is attached to the package would be the name and contact information of the sender (which are provided when a customer places an order online), a greeting card with message and our company's contact information. These documents are included to make sure the recipient knows who and where the package is from, and how to get in touch with them/us should they have any questions. Under no circumstances do we send details regarding the product's pricing or invoices to recipients. However, some packages, such as monthly/yearly subscriptions, include additional pamphlets that contain detailed information regarding the contents of certain packages for the recipient's enjoyment. If you would rather your identity remain anonymous after placing an order, please contact us directly to find out if we are able to accommodate your request. However, recipients do reserve the right to know the identify of whomever sends them a package, and often call us. If they call us, the sender’s information may be divulged to them.

Yes, we do deliver to hospitals, hotels, funeral homes and retirement homes. For deliveries to hospitals, please mention the name of the hospital, the recipient's room number and phone number of the hospital when placing an order online; we also ask that you verify that the recipient is not scheduled to be discharged from the hospital during the expected delivery time. For new and/or expectant mothers and patients critical care, receipt of floral arrangements and fruit baskets might not be accepted at the discretion of the hospital (this is rare); kindly telephone the hospital beforehand to enquire about their delivery policies as each facility abides by their own set of rules that are often out of our control.

Yes, we do! However. we strongly advise customers to provide full street addresses as well as P. O. (Post Office) Boxes whenever possible; the reason for this is that courier services are not always capable of delivering to P. O. Boxes despite their best efforts due to the size of our packages and the fact that most P. O. Boxes tend to be located in very rural areas. However, if a P. O. Box delivery is necessary, please provide us with the recipient's accurate contact information and we will do our best to make prior arrangements with a courier service who is equipped with the ability to deliver to a P. O. Box.

An additional $10 charge may be applied per piece where the recipient’s address is incorrect, incomplete or illegible. Additional redelivery charges may also apply

Where a recipient is not available to accept a delivery attempt by one of couriers, the delivery may be held at an authorized location for in-person pickup. Deliveries held for pickup will be held at the authorized location up to five business days. If the recipient fails to pick up the delivery during this time, the package will be returned to our warehouse at the customer’s expense. In such circumstances, the customer will not be entitled to any refunds as the items are not able to be resold.

Unless otherwise specified, we will automatically provide an electronic proof of delivery, where available, to customers at no extra charge. A $25 charge will be applied if a customer requests, and is provided with, a hard copy proof of delivery

An additional charge will be applied where the recipient’s location is deemed to be remote or is not serviced directly by us. Please contact us for details

We're still delivering as normal, despite the current health crisis surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus far, scheduling interruptions and delays directly resulting from the pandemic – although existent, as to be expected due to high volumes as more customers turn towards online purchasing – have remained relatively minimal, affecting a comparatively few number of orders, destinations and shipments. However, as always, the health and safety of our customers and employees remains our highest priority, therefore we are taking several additional precautions to do as much as we possibly can to limit transmission of the virus during these unprecedented times: Like many delivery services, our drivers and courier partners are practicing contact-free delivery by not obtaining digital signatures, until further notice. If a signature is obtained during delivery, please understand that this is an exception and not the current norm If the intended recipient is not home/doesn't answer the door, our local drivers will try to contact the recipient before leaving an order at their front door whenever possible, if a valid phone number is provided Third-party couriers such as Canada Post, Canpar, FedEx and UPS follow their own unique measures and protocols, but typically follow similar procedures where-in close contact with recipients is avoided as much as possible. Such measures include but are not limited to: Leaving the package at the front door without obtaining a signature Forwarding the package to a pick up facility, from where it can be retrieved at the recipient's earliest convenience Returning the package to the sender/warehouse Several businesses have been closed temporarily or permanently due to the pandemic. Prior to placing an order, we strongly advise you to confirm that the business is still operational/accepting packages in order to ensure successful deliveries We're proud to be practicing the all-important social distancing. In addition to rigid cleaning and disinfecting procedures, our warehouse/shipping facility is a closed building inaccessible to the public, and working with a skeleton staff until further notice. Most of our clerical and customer service staff are working remotely, which may potentially result in slightly longer – but no less effective – response times Health officials and the World Health Organization maintain that the likelihood of COVID-19 contaminating cardboard and other packaging materials is minimal. However, feel free to disinfect shipments and/or use protective apparel when handling/accepting packages to further reduce risk of transmission Due to the pandemic, delays varying in duration are to be expected, and we trust that any customer making an online purchase during these times – from our store or otherwise – possesses insight to at least acknowledge the possibility of delays, prior to completing a purchase; refunds may not be granted should a customer request that an order be cancelled as a result of delays and/or other COVID-19 concerns, but we'll try our best to work with you towards reaching a suitable resolution or alternative
