Same Day Shipping
Orders received before 12PM Noon Central Time weekdays are generally
shipped the same day unless otherwise specified. This is our standard
procedure and not a
guarantee. Orders
received after that time and on weekends or holidays are shipped the next
business day. Although we place a high priority on getting your order shipped
as soon as possible, please note we make no guarantees as large orders,
seasonal peaks, severe weather conditions or other circumstances may sometimes
delay shipping.

Shipping Information
First Avenue
Gift Baskets is bound to the rules and regulations of each carrier. Once the
carrier receives the package, we have no control over the actual delivery time
it my take to be delivered. We declare that once the package has been handed
to the shipping carrier that liability of the package no longer lies with
First Avenue Gift Baskets. We are therefore not liable for lost or stolen
merchandise.
First Avenue
Gift Baskets will not refund or reship any package that has been marked as
"Delivered" by the carrier even if recipient claims non-receipt. It is
possible that the package was left with neighbors, behind a bush, in the
garage, between the doors etc. We suggest that the recipient contact the
delivering carrier to verify where parcel was placed.
First Avenue
Gift Baskets has no control over a carrier’s decision if your location is
considered “safe” to leave a package. If this happens the carrier will leave a
notice notifying you that an attempt was made for delivery. You must follow
the carrier’s directions on the notice for delivery of your package. If any
package is returned to First Avenue Gift Baskets for any reason, no refund
will be issued.
Guarantee & Return Policy
At First Avenue Gift Baskets, we strive for excellence in all aspects of our
business. However if you are not satisfied with your purchase or gift, please
contact customer service within 3 business days of delivery (day package is
received is day one). All refunds are issued as store credits to be used on
your next purchase and all returns must be received within 30 days of original
purchase unless otherwise instructed. All returns and exchanges are returned
at your expense. If you need to return any item, please
contact us for details.
Other Merchandise - You may return any product undamaged for any reason at
all. There is a $10 restocking fee for general merchandise on returnable
items. Shipping and Handling fees are non-refundable.
Returns on items that shipped via our free shipping method
If you decide that you need to return an item that was shipped via our free
standard shipping method, the shipping costs will be deducted from your refund
as well as the restocking fee.
Hospital & Hotel Deliveries
Deliveries to hospitals and hotels are NOT RECOMMENDED. Since their deliveries
normally go to a general receiving department and then get routed to the
recipient’s room, we do not guarantee these deliveries. Sorry, no refunds will
be given should you decide to ship to these types of locations. Therefore if
you place your order with a hospital or hotel delivery address, we will assume
you have taken all this into account and will ship your order per your
request. Instead of a hospital delivery, we highly recommend that you ship to
either a nearby family member if possible or to the patient’s home address.
Holiday
Deadlines
During the holiday seasons, we will post a suggested final date to place
orders using various shipping methods. This information is provided by our
carriers and is no way a "guarantee" that your package will arrive in time for
that holiday. This is simply a courtesy we provide. To alleviate this possible
disappointment, we would strongly encourage you to have your orders placed
earlier than the suggested final date. Thank you for your understanding.
Delayed Shipping
Orders held for delayed shipping will be packaged and shipped via our UPS
Ground shipping method. If you have a specific date for arrival, just let us
know in the comments section of the order form and we will do our best to have
it arrive at that time.
