Ordering from India · delivered in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia
Send gift baskets to Washington DC from India
You're in India; the gift is going to Washington DC, Maryland or Virginia. Order here in US dollars, enter the recipient's address, and the basket travels by courier from our New Jersey warehouse — one to two business days to the door.
How the two addresses work
The delivery address goes in first, your billing address after — in your own format. Timing and tax follow the delivery address.
Where you are — India
The billing form takes your own format (street address, city, state and PIN code); nothing from it reaches the recipient.
Where the gift goes
Complete US street address (unit or suite included), city, state, ZIP code and a working phone number for the recipient.
The dispatch cut-off in India's time
For a sender in India, the warehouse's 2 p.m. Eastern closing time falls at 11:30 p.m. IST — well into your evening, so a daytime order always makes it. 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.
| Where you are | Leaves our warehouse that day when ordered by 2 p.m. Eastern | Support hours, in your clock |
|---|---|---|
| India (IST) | 11:30 p.m. | 6:30 p.m.–5:30 a.m. the next day |

Currency and payment
The currency
US dollars throughout; the conversion to Indian rupees is your card issuer's, at its rate.
Cards accepted
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Enter the billing address exactly as your issuer holds it.
Domestic delivery
Because the basket never crosses a border, there is no duty and no customs delay; the recipient pays nothing.
What you'll see
A single converted amount in Indian rupees; some issuers add a small foreign-transaction fee.
Language, characters and names
English store, Indian sender: the address form and card take Latin characters; Devanagari and other Indian scripts on the card is untested, so keep the message in Latin letters.
On the card
As typed at checkout. Latin characters only for a safe print.
Your side of the form
Street address, city, state and PIN code — the format your card issuer knows.
US layout for the recipient
Street address, city, state, ZIP code; ask them for the ZIP if you are unsure.
Most-sent, storewide
Too few Indian orders to rank on their own, so this is what senders across the store choose most, since January 2023.

From India: the usual questions
Will my card work?
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.
Is there anything to pay on top of the price?
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 Indian rupees 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, which the timing table above gives as 11:30 p.m. IST where you are, 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.
Is a future date possible?
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.
What can I put on the card?
Yes, typed at checkout and printed as typed. Devanagari and other Indian scripts has not been tested on the card, so a message in Latin letters is the reliable choice.
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.
