Chicago Baskets · Israel → Illinois
Send Gift Baskets to Illinois from Israel
Sending a gift from Israel to Illinois does not have to mean an international parcel. The basket is delivered within the United States to the address you give, so the distance from Israel never comes into it.
The two addresses on a Israeli order
There are two addresses on the order. One is the recipient's, in Illinois. The other is yours, as your bank holds it in Israel. Neither affects the other.
Your side of the order
- Your billing address Enter it as your bank in Israel holds it — street address, city and seven-digit postal code (mikud). The checkout form accepts the mikud (postal code) in its usual shape.
- Your telephone number Give the number you actually answer, with your country code. It is used if something about the order needs a quick word, not for marketing.
- Your email Order confirmation and any delivery update go here, so it can be an address you read at your own hours rather than one you check occasionally.
The recipient's side
- Recipient's address Street and ZIP code inside Illinois. Everything about the delivery follows from it.
- Delivery date Shown at checkout as an estimate for that address, before payment.
- Recipient's phone Used for the delivery if needed, and for no other purpose.
Check an Illinois ZIP code
One box, one answer. An Illinois ZIP code is inside the delivery area, and it is quicker to know that now than after you have chosen a gift.
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.
The delivery, in seven lines
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.
Handing it overA signature is asked for only where the order needs one; otherwise your delivery instruction decides what happens.
Wine, beer and spiritsWhere the law permits it. Someone 21+ has to take delivery and show photo ID.
Changing a delivery(312) 449-2070 is the fastest route. Changes are easiest before the basket is prepared.
Something not rightFive business days from delivery is the limit for reporting damage; photos are needed.
Paying from Israel, in US dollars
US dollars throughoutBasket prices, delivery and any add-on are all in US dollars. The store never converts to Israeli new shekels.
Conversion happens at your endWe charge dollars; your bank decides what that is in Israeli new shekels. Nothing here is marked up for paying from outside the United States.
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.
Nothing is asked for on arrivalThe total you pay covers the basket, any add-on and the delivery. The person receiving it is never asked to pay anything.
The message on the card
The greeting is yours to write and it goes in at checkout. The card prints in Latin characters; Hebrew typed in its own letters is the one thing that will not come out as intended, so write it out in Latin letters instead.
Write it in your own wordsHebrew, Arabic and English or anything else in Latin letters comes out as typed. Accents and punctuation are kept.
Short is better than complete. There is room for a greeting, not a chapter.
Gifts sent from abroad, in order
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 Israel for a ranking of its own to mean anything, so the order here is the overseas one rather than a Israeli one.

Before you order from abroad
What will delivery cost me?
Nothing on orders of $100 and over. Below that, the charge appears at checkout in US dollars before you pay. There is no surcharge for paying from outside the United States.
Does ordering from abroad delay the delivery?
No. The delivery follows the recipient's address, so the order's origin changes nothing about when it arrives.
Does the recipient have to pay anything?
No. The basket, any add-on and the delivery are all settled when you order. Nobody is asked for money at the door and no invoice follows.
Are there rules about the alcohol baskets?
Alcohol goes where permitted by law, to a person 21+ with photo ID, whoever placed the order and wherever from.
Do the billing and delivery addresses have to be in the same country?
No. Your billing address is yours in Israel; the delivery address is the recipient's in Illinois. Checkout expects them to differ on this kind of order.
Will they know what I paid?
No. No price, invoice or receipt travels with the basket. What arrives is the gift and the greeting message you wrote.
