The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued Toronto Gourmet Flower Delivery Service a licence to deliver beer, liquor, wine, and champagne on behalf of Toronto Blooms.
To be in compliance with these rules, all of our drivers are “Smart-Serve” certified – and we take this seriously! We will ensure that anyone who receives flowers from Toronto Flower Delivery Service is legally able to receive alcohol. Alcohol purchased should be for the personal consumption of the recipient and not for resale. If a recipient looks less than 25 years of age, we will require proof of age and a signature certifying that they are of age to purchase/receive alcohol.
Toronto Flower Delivery Service will comply with the rules and regulations as set out by the AGCO relating to this Liquor Delivery Service License.
All wine, champagne, beer and liquor baskets sold by Toronto Blooms or Toronto Flower Delivery Service with a value over $100 includes a $15 delivery charge. So far example, if the total price paid by a customer for a custom liquor basket before tax is $150, the price is $135 + $15 for deliver for a total of $150.00 plus taxes. The AGCO requires us to charge a minimum delivery charge on all liquor orders.
WHAT IF NO-ONE IS AT HOME FOR THE DELIVERY?
For Local Deliveries - If no one is at home when our drivers attempt delivery, our drivers will call the recipient to see where they can safely leave the Flowers. If the driver cannot reach the recipient, they will leave a a message (if possible) and the driver will leave the package at a safe place without obtaining a signature. If the flowers cannot be left safely and no one can accept the delivery, re-delivery will be necessary. A re-delivery charge may be required at an additional charge (typically $15-$40). We will try to avoid the re-delivery but will not leave flowers in an unsafe place. We will arrange the re-delivery at the earliest possible time - often later in the day or the next day. The re-delivery charge will be charged to your VISA or Mastercard. If you have paid for your order by PayPal, we will not do the re-delivery until we have received the re-delivery fees.
For Deliveries Outside of the Local Delivery Area - For shipments by common carrier, the courier will not attempt to contact the recipient if no one is at home when the flowers arrive. Common carriers never call recipients. Instead they will leave the package at the front door if they feel it is safe to do so. If they do not feel it is safe to leave it at the front door, they will leave a notice indicating where the flowers can be picked up by the recipient (e.g. at the post office or a Drop Box). If the package is not picked up in the following 10 days, if will be returned to Toronto Blooms. Redelivery may be attempted . A re-delivery charge may be required at an additional charge (typically $15-$40).
SHIPPING FRESH FRUIT, CAKES & BAKED GOODS, FLOWERS, FRESH CHEESE, CHOCOLATE DIPPED STRAWBERRIES & PERISHABLES
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Fresh Cheese, Fresh Fruit, ETC are perishable and, therefore, must be shipped quickly.
For this reason, we highly recommend customers request to have Fresh Fruit, Fresh Cheese & Chocolate Dipped Strawberries to be shipped on an express, same day or next day basis only. Same day service is free in the Greater Toronto Area and suburbs -- see above.
If a customer does not choose same-day or rush service for a chocolate dipped fruit order, we will substitute the fresh strawberries with truffles or strawberries made of dark or milk chocolate so they arrive in good condition. During the hot summer months - June to August - we recommend rush or same day service for Chocolate Dipped Strawberries.
For orders that request fresh cheese, we will substitute non-perishable cheese if the expected delivery times are more than 24 hours or the cheese could go bad.
If a customer requests delivery of fruit, fresh cheese, chocolate dipped strawberries, etc by ground shipping, we cannot guarantee freshness or the quality of these items when they are received and will not refund customers if items have melted or the items are received in less than perfect condition.

If you do not agree to the additional shipping charges, we may offer other items which can be shipped or cancel the order.
