Please leave a phone number for the gift recipient on checkout so the delivery time can be confirmed if they live in an apartment/condo building or on a busy street where it's better if the gift isn't left unattended.

If the delivery address is in our delivery zone, the Local Delivery option will show up on the shipping page. If you don't see this option; the address likely isn't in our local delivery zone and your order will instead be shipped (and will take an extra day to two to arrive as a result).

Please note that local delivery isn't compatible with Paypal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Amazon Pay. If you need to pay with one of these options, then please contact hello@cheerfetti.ca to have your shipping fee refunded.

We love surprises, but we love to make sure your gift makes its way into the hands of the lucky recipient even more. We ask for the phone number of the gift recipient to ensure the gift can be delivered when they're home, mainly if they live in an apartment/condo building or on a busy street. We won't reveal any information about the contents or who it's from, so it'll still be a surprise.

Same day delivery is available when "local delivery" is selected as the shipping option and only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (except Sept. 28) for orders placed by 11:00am ADT (10:00am EST). Same day delivery is available only in the local delivery zone.

Orders are processed and shipped on business days (weekdays except holidays) within 24 hours of being placed. Please allow an extra business day of processing time for orders placed during peak holiday times (e.g., Christmas, Mother's Day). Please note orders placed between October 22 and 28 will be fulfilled after Oct. 28 as we take some much-needed family vacation time.

Generally, orders within Nova Scotia (outside our local delivery area), New Brunswick, and PEI take 1-2 business days, and orders to cities in Ontario and Quebec take 2-3 business days.
