Chicago Gift Basket Delivery Areas
Chicago Baskets delivers gift baskets to any address in Illinois, on a date planned ahead rather than the same day. Here are the towns that have a page of their own, from the city and the North Shore out to Joliet and the Fox River Valley; each one lists the baskets sent there most and checks a recipient's ZIP code.
Planned ahead, never the same day
Chicago Baskets has no same-day delivery area: not the Loop, not any suburb, not any ZIP code on this page. Each order is planned instead. Give the recipient's address at checkout; it confirms that address and shows the estimated delivery date before you pay.
Free from $100
An order of $100 or more is delivered free to any Illinois address, whether it is on this list or not. Below $100, the delivery charge is added at checkout, where you see it before paying.
Give December extra room
December brings in far more orders than any other month of the year, so a holiday basket is worth ordering early. The estimated date at checkout shows what to expect for that address.
Four collar-county seats
DuPage, Kane, Will and McHenry are four of the five collar counties around Cook County, and each is governed from one of these towns. The basket shown on each tile is one of the favorites on that town's own page.
Illinois towns with a page of their own
Sorted by where they sit: the city, the lakefront towns, the suburbs to the north, northwest, west and southwest, then the Fox River Valley. A town that is not listed is still inside the delivery area, along with every other Illinois address; checkout confirms the exact one.

Built to your budget
A custom basket starts from the budget you set, and you choose what goes in it: wine, champagne, gourmet food, liquor and beer. 11% of the store's orders include one. For a company, five baskets or more come with 10% off, sent to one office or to each recipient's own address; for someone who keeps kosher, there is a kosher collection.
Ordering from outside Illinois
Whoever pays can live anywhere; checkout works from the recipient's Illinois address. Buyers in 6 countries and 17 other states each have a page of their own, listing the baskets chosen most from there and what to fill in on each side of the order.

Worth knowing before checkout
The same terms apply to every Illinois address on this page.
- No Illinois address gets same-day delivery. Every order is planned, and checkout shows the estimated delivery date for the exact address before you pay.
- Orders of $100 and over are delivered free; under that, the charge is shown at checkout.
- If an item is unavailable, a comparable one takes its place, keeping the basket's intent, value and presentation.
- A basket with alcohol is handed only to someone 21 or over with photo ID. Other baskets need no signature unless the order calls for one.
- Write a greeting message at checkout and it goes in with the basket; Order Tracking follows it to the door.
- Damage or a missing item: send photographs and the order number within five business days, and it is reviewed.
- Questions about an address: call (312) 449-2070 or use the contact page.
