Ordering from Texas · delivered in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia
Send gift baskets to Washington DC from Texas
Buying from Texas for someone in the capital region: one order, their address at checkout, and the basket travels by courier from New Jersey into the District, Maryland or Virginia.
Your address and theirs
Their address decides the delivery date and the tax; your billing address only has to match your card.
Where you are — Texas
The billing address only needs to match your card; nothing from it reaches the recipient.
Delivery: theirs
The full street address with unit number, city, state, ZIP and the recipient's own phone number.
Our New Jersey timings, in Central time
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. Most of Texas keeps Central time; El Paso and Hudspeth counties keep Mountain time.

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.
Gifts Texas senders choose
From orders paid from Texas and delivered in the capital region since January 2023: what Texas reaches for most. Set against the rest, Texas senders lean toward champagne gifts (about 1.5× the rate of all senders), and choose fewer gourmet gifts without alcohol than senders overall.
$129 is the median order from Texas: as many below it as above.
Where Texas's gifts go
Where a Texas sender's gift most often lands, since January 2023. About 1 in 4 carried a company name. December is the busiest month for gifts from Texas, at about 2.4× an average month.
Charged like any US order — with the recipient's tax
Recipient's address, recipient's tax
Checkout applies the sales tax of the place the gift is delivered in, not Texas's; you see it before paying.
Any US card
Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover; the billing address just has to match the card.
Alcohol: 21+
Wine, beer, champagne and spirits are handed only to someone 21+ who shows photo ID — the same rule in the District, Maryland and Virginia.
The message and more
Every order carries a free card with your message; add wine, bubbly, beer or balloons before you check out.

Before you order from Texas
Is it made near the recipient?
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.
How late can I 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.
Is a future date possible?
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.
What about a hotel or hospital?
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.
Whose tax applies?
The tax of the place the gift is delivered — the District, Maryland or Virginia — worked out from the delivery address, not Texas's rate. It shows at checkout before you pay.
