The earliest date for your address
Type the recipient's postal code. The answer comes from the store's own delivery service — the one checkout uses.
The answer covers any Canadian postal code: next business day across Ottawa and Gatineau when ordered by 2 p.m. Eastern, courier to places beyond, and the next open day once the cut-off has passed. Same-day delivery is not offered.
What the checkout adds
TaxTax follows the delivery address: 13% HST for an Ontario address (Ottawa), 5% GST + 9.975% QST for Gatineau — not the 5% GST only you pay at home.
WineThe recipient must be 19+ in Ontario (18+ in Quebec, for Gatineau) — at home in Alberta the age is 18; photo ID may be asked for at the door.
CostFree delivery on orders over $100; under that, the charge is shown at checkout.
MessageA printed greeting message goes with every order — write it at checkout.
