Welcome

food and sundries to your door, plus courier and product delivery

About Us

(From 4 to 9 pm) * Takeout food, booze and cigarettes, gas, etc delivered anywhere on Gabriola . (From 9 am to 4 pm) * Groceries. * Dump runs. * Light furniture moving and removal.* Business pick-up. * Island Pharmacy deliveries on Thursdays. (Also, some light landscaping: gutter cleaning, lawn-mowing and trimming only, by agreement)

By Day:

For Residential Customers:

Courier for local businesses AND delivery of larger items to households. Smaller to medium items from lumber yard and hardware store (can carry up to 16 foot lumber), Island Pharmacy deliveries on Thursdays, and - whenever possible (get your order in - 250 247 8310. 5 dollars anywhere on The Island). Dump runs when we can, and trips to Giro.

Many of the larger chains in Nanaimo have to bring over a large truck or van even for smaller items, hence the much higher rates than what we can offer.

For Businesses:

Pick up and delivery of items from town (please try to prearrange at least one day in advance), or, on Gabe. Small to medium size item delivery from hardware store, etc, here on The Island, etc. Trips to Nanaimo upon request.

By Night:

For Homeowners, boaters, campers:

Takeout from restaurants. Pickup from the pharmacy on Thursdays. Food and grocery items. Beer, wine, and libations. Engine oil for your yacht. Run out of gas? Give me a call. Always have a spare jerry can.

Boaters and guests to our Island: We can deliver food and necessities ALL week to the marinas, B and B's, and campground.

With bank machine charges cutting into profits, would prefer you pay for items over the phone with your credit card and then settle up via e-transfer (most businesses up until recently have accepted this). Call me for a list of businesses who accept cc over phone. Most do!

From this moment on I will not be paying for items for you since the businesses I use accept credit card over the phone. Cash is too messy (bank machine charges eating into profits, etc) on a small island where it is hard to break bills. E-transfers only, unless arranged.

Take-out and delivery person for all manner of goods. We service boaters, campers, hotel and B&B guests as well as all manner of householders. Anything from yummy takeout (please see links to menus, phone numbers for businesses served, etc), engine oil for your yacht, a few (or many) cold ones, prescriptions from our local pharmacy, you name it - we can handle it.

Please remember, we rely upon goodwill. We have set our rates artificially low with the knowledge that, if people like the service, they will tip accordingly and also, spread the word.

Set rates, except trips to town.

We do not have the same overhead as the taxi, but will refer you to them when we get busy. (They're nice folk, too) Taxi: 250 247 0049

Fully licensed and insured.
