Manhattan Same-Day Candy Delivery Service

March 10, 2008 3:35 PM

Urgent: Help me find a business that does same-day delivery of chocolate or other treats in Manhattan.

I need to buy some nice chocolates or other 'classy' treats for delivery in Manhattan tomorrow. It's probably too late in the day to do this reliably using overnight mail. In addition to the treats, I need to be able to enclose a personalized note, ideally one that allows for some length (i.e. not just 20 words). Online ordering is preferable.

I would call a flower shop for this. In my experience, most deliver chocolates and other treats too, and they are set up for exactly this kind of circumstance. On the downside, a long note probably won't be accommodated.

You can actually send the treats from your local flower shop and pay there, and the rest will happen automagically. Online and by phone is also easy (see 1-800-flowers and friends.)

Consider calling Dean & Deluca (800.221.7714). They'll likely be able to follow-through for you in delivering chocolate and other "treats" from one of their New York stores.

Hope I am not too late...
Try Edible Arrangements. They have some fun things with fruit and chocolate. A bit on the expensive side.

Best answer: Max Delivery is what you want. I sent my boyfriend cupcakes using them and they were quick and relatively cheap.
