Making Sure Your New Year's Gift Basket Arrives on Time
New Year’s Day is the biggest day of the year, and that means this gift has a hard deadline. We want to make sure your New Year’s gift basket arrives in time for a proper celebration, and these tips will take the stress out of ordering.
-
Pick your delivery date. Use the calendar at checkout to choose the best delivery date.
-
Select the right shipping speed. You can choose ground if you’re not in a rush, but two-day and overnight shipping are available if you need faster delivery.
-
Use instant gift notification. Your recipient will get a convenient notification as soon as the gift arrives.
-
Double-check details. Make sure the address, name, and delivery date are correct before you place the order to avoid delivery issues.
-
Order early for Champagne gifts. Since baskets with alcohol require an adult signature upon delivery, you may want to build in some buffer time in case no one is home when delivery is first attempted.
