Ordering from Illinois · delivered in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia
Send gift baskets to Washington DC from Illinois
A Illinois card, a recipient in the Washington area — the same checkout. Baskets are packed in New Jersey and couriered to the DMV, free from $100 an address.
Two addresses, kept apart
Checkout asks for the recipient's address first and your billing address second; only the delivery address decides the timing and the tax.
Your Illinois billing address
Enter it exactly as your card issuer has it — street, city, Illinois and ZIP code. It appears nowhere on the gift.
Where the gift goes
Complete street address (unit or suite included), city, state, ZIP code and a working phone number for the recipient.
Timing for a Illinois sender
The warehouse keeps Eastern time and you keep Central time; the conversion below is for today, and the courier adds one to two business days into the Washington area. You choose the recipient's delivery date at checkout; the dispatch line and the transit time together decide the earliest one the checker will offer.

When can it arrive?
Enter the recipient's ZIP code — the answer comes from the same delivery service the checkout uses.
Everything travels by courier from our New Jersey warehouse: orders placed by 2 p.m. Eastern leave the same business day, then 1–2 business days in transit to the Washington DC area. Free shipping from $100 per address.
Our customers' favourites
Too few Illinois orders to rank on their own, so this is what senders outside the capital region choose most, since January 2023.
For a sense of scale, the median order placed from Illinois is $120.
Who Illinois sends to
Of the gifts Illinois sends to the capital region since January 2023, this is which side of the river they land on. About 1 in 4 carried a company name. January is the busiest month for gifts from Illinois, at about 1.9× an average month.
What you pay from Illinois
Tax follows the delivery address
Sales tax is charged at the rate of the place the gift is delivered — the District, Maryland or Virginia — not Illinois's. Checkout shows it before you pay.

Visa, Mastercard, Amex or Discover, with the billing address as your statement shows it.
Bottles need ID
Any gift with alcohol goes to a recipient 21+ with photo ID at the door, wherever in the capital region it is delivered.
Extras and the card
A free greeting card with your message goes in every order; wine, champagne, beer, balloons or more food can be added on the product page.

Before you order from Illinois
Does the basket come from Illinois or from the warehouse?
From our New Jersey warehouse, never from your state. Everything travels by courier into the capital region, one to two business days to a District, Maryland or Virginia address.
When do I need to order?
Our warehouse works to Eastern time and stops packing at 2 p.m., which is 1 p.m. CDT where you are. Transit follows: one to two business days into the capital region. Same-day delivery is not offered by this store, anywhere.
Which address decides delivery?
Theirs — the checker and the checkout work from the recipient's ZIP. Your ZIP only matters on the billing form, where it must match your card.
Can I choose a delivery date in advance?
Yes — choose any later date at checkout; the dispatch and transit times only set the earliest day. For a holiday, order early: closures are skipped and busy periods fill.
Do you deliver to workplaces?
Yes. Give the company name, floor or suite and the hours reception is staffed; business deliveries run during working hours and a gift can be left with reception.
Which tax will I be charged?
The tax of the place the gift is delivered — the District, Maryland or Virginia — worked out from the delivery address, not Illinois's rate. It shows at checkout before you pay.
