The earliest date for your address
The checker asks the delivery service behind the checkout and shows the earliest date for that postal code.
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.
Ottawa's rules, not Nova Scotia's
TaxTax follows the delivery address: 13% HST for an Ontario address (Ottawa), 5% GST + 9.975% QST for Gatineau — not the 14% HST you pay at home.
WineThe recipient must be 19+ in Ontario (18+ in Quebec, for Gatineau) — at home in Nova Scotia the age is 19; 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.

Common questions
When does a gift ordered from Nova Scotia arrive?
The next business day in Ottawa and Gatineau, when the order is in by 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday. Places beyond the two cities go by courier — the checker above shows the date for the address.
Which province's tax do I pay?
The delivery address's: 13% HST in Ontario, GST and QST in Quebec.
Why is same-day delivery not offered?
Ottawa Baskets delivers on the next business day — orders in by 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday, go out on the following day's run. The earliest date for an address shows in the checker above and at checkout.
Can it go to an office or a government building?
Yes. Give the recipient's full name, department or unit, building name and any delivery notes at checkout; baskets are packed to be handed to a reception desk, concierge or mailroom. See government deliveries.
How do I follow the order?
On the store's Order Tracking page, with the email address and the postal code used on the order; most orders appear within a few hours of confirmation. Support is on +1 (343) 224-4226, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern.
