Send Gift Baskets to Illinois from Ireland
Ordering from Ireland works exactly as it does for someone in Illinois. You pick the gift, enter the recipient's address, and checkout shows the estimated delivery date before anything is paid.
The two addresses on a Irish order
The form wants a delivery address and a billing address. The delivery address decides availability and the estimated date; the billing address only has to satisfy your own bank in Ireland.
Your side of the order
- Billing details These belong to you, not to the recipient: the address your card is registered to in Ireland, including the Eircode.
- Contact number With the country code. Kept for order questions only.
- Email address Where the confirmation and any later update are sent. Nothing is posted to you.
The recipient's side
- The delivery address A street address in Illinois, with its ZIP code. Availability and the estimated date are worked out from it.
- The delivery date An estimate, shown at checkout for that address before you pay.
- Their phone number A US number for the recipient helps if the address needs clarifying. It is used for the delivery, nothing else.
Try the ZIP code first
Enter the ZIP code of the address the basket is going to. The answer covers the area only — the estimated date is shown at checkout.
Every delivery is planned; there is no same-day option. Orders of $100 and over carry no delivery charge, and anything under that is priced at checkout.
How delivery works, plainly
A planned deliverySame-day delivery does not exist on this store, so nothing depends on the hour you press the button.
Seeing the date firstEnter the Illinois address at checkout and the estimated date appears there.
Delivery costFree on orders of $100 and over. Below that the charge is shown at checkout before you pay, in US dollars.
At the doorNo signature is needed unless the order calls for one. If nobody answers, the delivery follows the instruction you left.
Wine, beer and spiritsWhere the law permits it. Someone 21+ has to take delivery and show photo ID.
Changing the orderCall (312) 449-2070 as early as you can. Once a basket has been prepared, the room to change it is limited.
Something not rightFive business days from delivery is the limit for reporting damage; photos are needed.
What a Irish card sees
One currencyEverything is priced and charged in US dollars. Your euros figure comes from your bank, not from here.
What lands on your statementA euros amount, worked out by your own bank from the dollar total. Any difference between that and the figure you expected is the bank's rate and its foreign-transaction charge.
It is not an importBecause the gift is delivered within the United States, there is no customs entry to clear and nothing can be held at a border.
Paid in full at checkoutDelivery included, the order is settled at checkout. The recipient sees a gift, not a bill.
Writing the card from Ireland
A personalised greeting message goes with every basket. The card is set in Latin characters, as used in English.
Your language, their lettersA message in English and Irish prints exactly as you enter it, accents included.
Keep it shorter than a letter. A card that fits on the card reads better than one that runs off it.
What senders overseas actually choose
The order is senders outside the United States' own, taken from every overseas order since December 2022. Nothing here is promoted; the rank is the rank. Too few baskets have gone to Illinois from Ireland for a ranking of its own to mean anything, so the order here is the overseas one rather than a Irish one.

Before you order from abroad
How soon can a basket arrive if I order from Ireland?
Checkout shows the estimated delivery date for the address before you pay — the same estimate anyone ordering for that address would see. Where you are has no effect on it; it depends on the delivery address, not the billing one.
Am I charged extra for ordering from abroad?
Not by us. Delivery is free on orders of $100 and over and priced at checkout below that, the same for every order. Your own bank may add a foreign-transaction fee, which is its charge, not ours.
Do the billing and delivery addresses have to be in the same country?
No. Your billing address is yours in Ireland; the delivery address is the recipient's in Illinois. Checkout expects them to differ on this kind of order.
Will there be customs or duty to pay?
No duty, no customs charge. The basket is delivered within the United States, so it never crosses a border and there is nothing to declare or clear.
Is the message translated?
No. It is printed exactly as you enter it — nothing is corrected, re-worded or translated. The card prints in Latin characters, as used in English.
Can I send a basket with wine or spirits in it?
Yes, where permitted by law, and it is handed only to someone 21+ who can show photo ID — so it is worth telling the recipient it is coming.
