Ordering from Australia · delivered in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia
Send gift baskets to Washington DC from Australia
Order from Australia, deliver in the Washington DC area. Orders in by 2 p.m. Eastern leave our New Jersey warehouse that business day and reach the DMV in one to two more. Free shipping from $100.
Your Australian address and their American one
Checkout asks for the recipient's US address first and your own billing address second; only the delivery address decides the timing.
Your Australian billing address
Enter it as your card issuer has it — street address, suburb, state and postcode. It appears nowhere on the gift.
Delivery: theirs
The full American street address with unit number, city, state, ZIP code and the recipient's own phone number.
The dispatch cut-off in Australia's time
One American warehouse, several Australian zones: each row below converts the 2 p.m. Eastern cut-off into that zone's time as it stands today. You choose the recipient's delivery date at checkout; the dispatch cut-off and the transit time together decide the earliest one the checker will offer.

What you pay, and how
Not in Australian dollars
The store charges in US dollars; what you see on your statement in Australian dollars depends on your bank's rate.
Your card
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay — a card issued in Australia works when its billing address is entered as the bank has it.
No customs, no duty
The gift is made and delivered inside the United States, so the recipient pays nothing at the door and nothing is held at a border.
Your statement
One line in Australian dollars: the US-dollar total at your bank's rate, possibly with a foreign-transaction fee your issuer sets.
Language, characters and names
English store, Australian sender: the card message is printed as you write it, in the letters you use every day.
The card message
Typed at checkout and printed as typed — accents and all.
Billing in your layout
Write it as your bank has it: street address, suburb, state and postcode.
US layout for the recipient
Street address, city, state, ZIP code; ask them for the ZIP if you are unsure.

Before you order from Australia
Can I pay with a card issued in Australia?
Yes. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay issued anywhere are accepted; enter the billing address exactly as your bank holds it, in your own format.
How is the total worked out?
The price in US dollars plus delivery (free from $100 per address) and the recipient's state's sales tax, all shown at checkout. Your bank converts the total to Australian dollars at its rate; some issuers add a foreign-transaction fee. The recipient pays nothing.
What is the dispatch cut-off in my time zone?
Order by 2 p.m. Eastern — the timing table gives that in each of Australia's time zones, and the basket is packed and handed to the courier that business day, Monday to Friday. Transit to the Washington area follows — one to two business days to a District, Maryland or Virginia address. This store offers no same-day delivery, in the Washington area or anywhere else, so the date the checker gives is the earliest one available.
Can I order now for next week?
Any later date at checkout — the cut-offs only set the earliest day. The date you choose is the recipient's date in the United States, not yours.
Can I write the card in English?
Yes — typed at checkout and printed exactly as written, in English or English.
Can I send wine or spirits?
Yes, anywhere in the United States — the recipient must be 21+ and show photo ID at the door. Choose a gift without alcohol and no ID is needed.
