Entering the addresses

Their address decides the delivery date and the tax; your billing address only has to match your card.

Where you are — California

The billing address only needs to match your card; nothing from it reaches the recipient.

Their address

Everything the courier needs: street and unit, city, state, ZIP, and the recipient's phone in case nobody answers.

Timing for a California sender

Two centres, two clocks. Below, every cut-off is shown in Pacific time as it stands today, so a California sender knows exactly when to press the button. You choose the recipient's delivery date at checkout; the cut-offs decide the earliest one the checker will offer.

When can it arrive?

Enter the recipient's ZIP code — the answer comes from the same delivery service the checkout uses.

Chosen most by senders in California

Ranked by orders paid from California and delivered in another state over the available history (the end of 2021 to today). Compared with senders everywhere, California senders lean toward plants (about 1.5× the rate of all senders) and spa gifts (about 1.5× the rate of all senders), and choose fewer beer gifts than senders overall.

The median California order comes to $114 — half spend less, half more; a comparison point, not a minimum.

Charged like any US order — with the recipient's tax

Tax follows the delivery address

Sales tax is charged at the recipient's state's rate, not California's. Checkout shows it before you pay.

Any US card

Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover; the billing address just has to match the card.

21+ everywhere

The drinking age is 21 in every US state, so a gift with a bottle goes to someone 21+ and is handed over against photo ID.

Personalise it

Free card with your words; add-ons and bottle upgrades on every product page.

By occasion or by contents

After you order

Tracking

A shipping confirmation with a tracking link arrives once the gift leaves; the Track Your Order page shows updates by e-mail address and order number.

Support hours

9 a.m.–8 p.m. Eastern — 6 a.m.–5 p.m. PDT where you are — seven days by live chat or phone ((844) 444-8420); e-mail within one business day.

Nobody home?

Same-day drivers phone the recipient and can leave the gift in a safe spot or with reception; couriers may leave it, retry, or hold it at a pickup point for about five business days.

From California: the usual questions

Is it made near the recipient?

From our New Jersey or Los Angeles studio, whichever serves the recipient — never from your state. Same-day hand delivery covers New York City, North Jersey and the Los Angeles area; everywhere else is courier, 1–4 business days.

What are the cut-offs in my time zone?

By 8 a.m. PDT your time for same-day in New York City and North Jersey (11 a.m. Eastern); by 11 a.m. PDT your time for the Los Angeles area (11 a.m. Pacific). Courier orders ship that day when placed by 2 p.m. Eastern (New Jersey) or 12:30 p.m. Pacific (Los Angeles), Monday to Friday.

Whose ZIP goes in the checker?

Theirs — the checker and the checkout work from the recipient's ZIP. Your ZIP only matters on the billing form, where it must match your card.

Can I choose a delivery date in advance?

Yes — choose any later date at checkout; the cut-offs only set the earliest day. For a holiday, order early: closures are skipped and busy periods fill.

What about a hotel or hospital?

Yes. Give the company name, floor or suite and the hours reception is staffed; business deliveries run during working hours and a gift can be left with reception.

Do I pay California sales tax?

The recipient's state's sales tax, worked out from the delivery address, not California's rate. It shows at checkout before you pay.
