Does Sunbasket deliver on Holidays?
📦 Holiday Delivery Availability
- Holidays: Holidays change everything, including scheduled and anticipated delivery days. Since holidays land on different days every year, we may lose control over having a set delivery date during the week of a holiday. These schedules are created in a collaborative approach by both our delivery providers (carriers) and Sunbasket (Operations & Logistics team) to best meet our customers' needs.
We do send out emails & SMS in advance to all customers letting them know the holiday delivery schedule will affect their normal delivery schedule giving them the opportunity to skip their delivery before our cutoff if the new delivery schedule does not meet their needs. - Regular Deliveries: We typically deliver between Sunday and Thursday, depending on your zip code.
- Holiday-Specific Boxes: For special occasions like Christmas and New Year's, Sunbasket offers dedicated Holiday Feast Dinner Boxes. These are one-time orders separate from regular subscriptions and must be ordered by specific cutoff dates:
