Hospital deliveries in Columbia

A basket ships by parcel to a street address, so it cannot go to a PO box, a graveside or a service. What it can do is reach a bedside, a resident's door, a campus mailroom or a hotel front desk, as long as the order names the person the way that place expects. Below, the kinds of places in and around Columbia that boxes get sent to, how each one receives a parcel, and a local example laid out the way the label should read.

Hospitals

Parcels go to the hospital's receiving desk or mailroom and are brought up by staff, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge. Baked goods, fruit and snack boxes suit a room; nothing that needs a fridge.

Gift baskets (shipped)

  1. Choose the basket and the delivery day you want. The calendar at checkout shows the days available for your recipient's ZIP code: an order placed by 3:45 PM Eastern can arrive as soon as two days later.
  2. Your basket is packed to order by one of our gift basket partners.
  3. It ships 2-day to Columbia; you get a shipping confirmation with tracking when it leaves.
  4. The carrier brings it to the door, the front desk or the mailroom on the day you chose, so it is worth checking that someone will be around.

Next-day delivery is offered for some regions at certain times of the year; the checkout calendar shows what is available for your recipient's address.

Good to know

  • Gift baskets ship 2-day, so they are not a same-day gift: for a date that matters, order two business days ahead or more and pick the day at checkout.
  • Add the recipient's phone number at checkout; the carrier uses it if the address needs a second look.
  • Business, hospital and campus addresses: include the department, room or mailbox so the front desk can route it.
If I order a basket today, when can it reach Columbia?

Baskets ship 2-day, sooner in some regions, and you pick the delivery day on the calendar at checkout. An order placed by 3:45 PM Eastern can arrive as soon as two days later; the calendar shows the exact days open for your recipient's ZIP code (50057).

Can a basket be shipped to Knoxville Hospital & Clinics?

Yes. Knoxville Hospital & Clinics sits 9 miles out from Columbia, and the box goes to its street address. Address the box to the patient's full name with the unit or room number and use the hospital's street address. Hospitals take parcels at a receiving desk or mailroom and staff bring them up, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge; a box that arrives after the patient has left sits in the mailroom until someone claims it.

When to ship what to Columbia

Baskets travel by parcel and can wait on a step for an afternoon, so the month decides the contents. Thirty-year averages for Columbia, month by month, with the ones that matter marked.
