Delivery Expectations (Same-Day + Local Fulfillment)

Here’s what “same-day” typically looks like, how local fulfillment works, when substitutions happen, and what to expect for homes, businesses, hospitals, and hotels.

Typical delivery windows

  • Homes: usually midday to early evening.
  • Businesses: during business hours and before close.
  • Hospitals: per facility receiving windows (varies by unit).
  • Hotels: via front desk/guest services receiving hours.

Heads-up: same-day means delivered today; exact-hour delivery is rarely guaranteed for baskets. Add delivery notes + a reachable phone number when timing is critical.

What “local fulfillment” means

Your order is prepared and delivered by a local partner near the recipient—faster than a shipment traveling across the country.

  • Faster: assembled locally and routed like a local delivery.
  • Fresh presentation: arranged for handoff.
  • Inventory reality: brands/containers may vary on busy days.

Substitutions policy (plain English)

When an item/brand/container isn’t available locally for same-day, partners substitute with a close match of equal or higher value to preserve the theme and presentation.

  • Brand swaps (premium brand A → premium brand B).
  • Container swaps (basket → tray/box) to keep the gift clean and deliverable.
  • Category swaps (cookies → comparable bakery item) while maintaining value.

Hospitals, hotels, offices (what to include)

  • Hospitals: patient full name, room (if known), unit/department, and phone number.
  • Hotels: guest full name, hotel name, and (if possible) room number.
  • Offices: business name, suite/department, and recipient phone.

Same-Day Gift Basket Delivery FAQs

Quick answers to the questions shoppers ask most when they need gift baskets delivered today—cutoff times, address types, substitutions, delivery windows, dietary options, and local fulfillment.

Do you deliver gift baskets same day?
Yes—many areas offer same-day delivery when you order before the local cutoff time and the selected gift style is available for today’s route. Availability can vary by ZIP code, day of week, and local volume.
What is the cutoff time for my ZIP code?
Cutoff times vary by ZIP and by product type. Enter the recipient ZIP at checkout to see same-day eligibility. For the best “delivery-today” odds, choose snack trays or sweet & salty assortments.
Can you deliver to a hospital, hotel, or office?
Usually, yes. Include business/hotel name, department or suite, and a recipient phone number. Hospitals and hotels may require delivery to a main desk and may restrict certain items.
What if the recipient isn’t available?
For homes, the driver may attempt contact and—when appropriate—leave the gift in a safe location. For secure buildings/hotels/workplaces, delivery is typically made to a concierge/front desk/reception. Perishable items may not be left unattended in extreme weather.
Are gift baskets hand-delivered or shipped?
Same-day gift baskets are typically hand-delivered via local fulfillment. Some specialty items or regions may use shipping instead; checkout options reflect what’s available for the destination.
What does substitution mean for gift baskets?
Substitutions happen when an item/brand/container isn’t available locally for same-day. The local partner replaces it with a comparable item of equal or higher value that matches the theme and presentation.
Do you offer kosher, gluten-free, or nut-free options?
Dietary options may be available, but same-day inventory varies by local partner. Add notes at checkout. We can’t guarantee allergen-free environments unless explicitly stated for that product.
Can I choose a delivery time?
Same-day routes usually deliver within daytime windows. You can add a note like “deliver before 3pm if possible,” and couriers will try to accommodate, but exact-time delivery isn’t guaranteed for baskets.
Do you deliver on Sundays?
Sunday availability depends on the destination ZIP, local partner hours, and the gift style. Enter the ZIP at checkout to see available options.
How do wine or alcohol gifts work?
Alcohol delivery is regulated and may be restricted. Where available, an adult signature (21+) is typically required and deliveries may be limited by day/time and address type.
What delivers fastest when I need it today?
In many areas, sweet & salty, gourmet snack, and classic thank-you styles fulfill fastest because local partners can assemble them from common inventory.
What if I made a mistake (address, phone, recipient info)?
Call as soon as possible: 844-585-2876. Same-day orders move quickly into preparation and routing, so early corrections are easiest.
