Why we ship most gift baskets via Priority Mail

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Priority Mail is our shipping service of choice for a couple of reasons. Number one, your baskets will get to your destination within 3 Days (if ordered by 1pm EST for Same Day Shipping) of ordering. Number two, except for two or three of our heavier and larger baskets – it’s just plain cheaper than UPS and the like (not to mention faster).

Oh, one more bonus over UPS (who until the last year or so we exclusively used) – the USPS offers free pickup (UPS has a surcharge or you pay for daily pickups – either way, you pay) for Priority Mail. Not to mention all of the free supplies the USPS offers in order to get our gift baskets shipped properly.

View our 2006 Christmas Shipping Calendar – it’s the deadlines so you know how late you can order your Christmas gift baskets and still have them get to their destinations in time for Christmas.

Did you know you can place your Christmas gift basket orders now and we will hold them for shipment on December 18th? We guarantee delivery just before Christmas! Just choose “Ship December 18th” during the checkout process when you are filling out the billing and shipping information.
