Your address and theirs

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

Billing: yours

Your card's registered address in Florida, as the statement shows it. The recipient never sees it.

Delivery: theirs

The full street address with unit number, city, state, ZIP and the recipient's own phone number.

Same clock as the warehouse — the dispatch line is 2 p.m. Eastern

Florida keeps Eastern time, the same as the warehouse, so the 2 p.m. dispatch line reads the same on your clock. After that the courier decides, and it is one to two business days anywhere in the capital region. You choose the recipient's delivery date at checkout; the dispatch line and the transit time together decide the earliest one the checker will offer. Most of Florida keeps Eastern time; the western Panhandle keeps Central time, an hour behind.

From Florida: the usual questions

When do I need to order?

The warehouse packs until 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday, and your clock is the same one. Transit follows: one to two business days into the capital region. Same-day delivery is not offered by this store, anywhere, so the checker's date is the earliest available.

Whose tax applies?

The tax of the place the gift is delivered — the District, Maryland or Virginia — worked out from the delivery address, not Florida's rate. It shows at checkout before you pay.

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.

Is a future date possible?

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

Will my recipient see my address or what I paid?

No. The package carries your name as the sender, the greeting card with your message, and the store's contact details — never your address or card.

Do you deliver to workplaces?

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.
