Variation in Appearance & Substitutions
Gift baskets shown on this website are general representations of our gift selections. Our designs and inventory are constantly changing with the discovery of new items and trends and therefore we cannot guarantee that any two gifts will be exactly alike.  You may rest assured that this will only enhance and not change the theme of your unique gift.  We reserve the right to substitute an item with one of equal or greater value, due to availability of products and containers, seasonal changes, or any other reason.

• To avoid a delay in delivery of your gift and additional fees, be sure that all recipient shipping information is correct.

• Gift baskets (non fruit) are shipped via UPS.  UPS does not ship to P.O. boxes, therefore USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation will be the shipping method if you are shipping to a post office box.  USPS Priority Mail packages are delivered in approximately 2-3 days.  Refer to the map below for approximate UPS delivery times.  Fruit baskets are shipped via FedEx 3-day, 2-day or overnight to insure freshness.  Fruit basket orders received by 1 p.m. EST, Monday thru Thursday will be shipped via FedEx the same day.  Weekends are not counted by FedEx as shipping days.

• We will not ship chocolate items from May through late October, but we will replace chocolates with items that don't melt such as chocolate flavored cookies, brownies etc.  Chocolate is available for hand delivery.

• Gift basket prices do not include shipping fees. Our secure shopping cart will calculate your shipping charges.  Shipping charge is per basket shipped.  If the actual shipping fee is less than the shopping cart calculation, your credit card will be charged the lower amount plus the price of the gift.

• An enclosure card is included in your gift basket with your personalized message. 

Find your state on the map and refer to the color key on the right side of the map to find out approximate shipping times to your location.  UPS delivery time is based on delivery to commercial locations.  Shipments to residential or rural areas may extend shipping times.
