VarsNext business day to Vars: order by 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday. Businesses receive gifts during business hours, homes by the end of the day. Postal areas on Vars's orders: K0A.
How delivery worksEvery gift is prepared and checked before dispatch, then delivered on the next business day across Ottawa and Gatineau; same-day delivery is not offered. Orders placed by 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday, make the next day's run; places beyond the two cities go by courier, and checkout confirms the date.
CostFree delivery on orders over $100; under that, the charge is shown at checkout. An address the delivery service treats as remote may carry an added charge.
At the doorNo signature unless stated; the gift may be left in a safe place or with a concierge, reception desk or mailroom. A printed greeting message goes with every order.
SubstitutionsSome items are seasonal; when one is swapped, the value, theme and design of the basket stay the same.
Wine and spirits19+ (Ontario's legal drinking age) — photo ID may be asked for at the door.
ClosedThanksgiving Monday, October 12; Christmas Day; Boxing Day; New Year's Day.
Planning ahead
Thanksgiving is Monday, October 12, and Christmas falls on a Friday this year. Deliveries run Monday to Friday, so a gift for a weekend or a holiday Monday needs to arrive on the business day before — order two business days ahead to be safe.

Good to know before ordering
When will a gift reach Vars?
The next business day, when the order is in by 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday. After the cut-off, or on a weekend, it moves to the next open day; any later date can be chosen at checkout.
Can a gift with wine go to anyone?
The recipient must be 19+ — Ontario's legal drinking age — and photo ID may be asked for at the door. Non-alcoholic baskets are in their own collection.
What if an item is out of stock?
Items are seasonal, so a substitution is sometimes needed close to dispatch. The value, design and presentation of the basket stay the same, and at busy times the store may not be able to ask first.
Can I add a personal message?
Yes — a printed greeting message is included with every order; type it at checkout.
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.
