Hamilton Baskets · from the U.S.
Gift baskets for Hamilton, ordered from the United States
Place the order from the U.S. and the basket is prepared to order and sent by courier to the recipient in Hamilton or across Southern Ontario. You pay in Canadian dollars; the recipient pays nothing and no customs or import fee applies.
Placing the order from the U.S.
An order from the U.S. goes through like any other once the two sets of details are in the right places:
- Billing details — yours. Your name as it appears on the card, your street address, city, state and ZIP code, in the billing fields. Your ZIP code goes there.
- Delivery details — the recipient's. Their name, their Canadian street address, city, ON and Canadian postal code (letter-number-letter number-letter-number, e.g. L8P 4R5), and their telephone number, in the delivery fields — the courier calls that number, not yours.
- The greeting card carries your message, so the recipient knows who sent it and why.
What a the U.S. card is charged
CurrencyCanadian dollars throughout. A USD view is available from the currency menu as a rough conversion.
On your statementThe transaction is in Canadian dollars: gift, Canadian tax and, under $100, the delivery charge, shown up front. Conversion to U.S. dollars — and any fee for it — is your bank's, at a rate the store neither sets nor sees.
Which cardsVisa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB — read from the store's own footer on 2026-09-21. Cards from the U.S. go through when the billing address is the card's.

Help is at (905) 667-3660 or the store's support widget — details on the contact page. The team works on Eastern Time, so check the table above before calling.
Alcohol
Wine, champagne, beer and spirits go to Hamilton and Southern Ontario as long as the recipient is 19 or over, the province's legal drinking age. The courier gives alcohol only to a person 19+ with photo ID; everything else can be left without a signature. The store also stocks kosher wine and alcohol-free gourmet ranges.

Classic Wine & Dine Gift Basket · $181.99Before you order from the U.S.
Will a the U.S. bank card work?
It will. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB are all taken with a American billing address; you're charged in CAD and your bank does the conversion.
Could the recipient get a bill for customs or delivery?
No — there's no border crossing, so no customs, duty or import fee. Delivery is free on orders over $100; below that it's charged to you at checkout.
When do I have to order?
By 2 p.m. Eastern on a weekday to ship that day — see the table above for what that is in the U.S.. The courier then delivers in one to three business days. Same-day delivery is not offered by this store.
Do I choose the delivery date in my time zone?
No — in the recipient's, Eastern time: the weekday the gift should arrive at their door.
Are wine and champagne deliverable?
Yes — to anyone 19 or over, with photo ID checked on handover.
