Chicago Baskets · Singapore → Illinois
Send Gift Baskets to Illinois from Singapore
You are in Singapore; the person you are thinking of is in Illinois. Chicago Baskets closes that gap the simple way — you choose the basket, give their address, and see the estimated delivery date at checkout before you pay. Nothing is held at a border.
How an order placed in Singapore reaches an Illinois door
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 Singapore.
Your side of the order
- Billing details These belong to you, not to the recipient: the address your card is registered to in Singapore, including the postal code.
- 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
- 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.
Is that address inside the delivery area?
Chicago Baskets plans its deliveries across Illinois. Put the recipient's ZIP code in for a first answer — worth doing from Singapore before you choose a basket.
The area answer is immediate; the estimated date comes at checkout. Deliveries are planned; same-day is not offered, and there is no delivery charge on orders of $100 and over.
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.
At the doorNo signature is needed unless the order calls for one. If nobody answers, the delivery follows the instruction you left.
If there is alcohol in itWhere permitted by law, it goes to a person 21+ with photo ID, wherever the order was placed from.
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.
Money: dollars here, Singapore dollars on your statement
US dollars throughoutBasket prices, delivery and any add-on are all in US dollars. The store never converts to Singapore dollars.
The rate is your bank'sThe dollar amount reaches your bank and your bank turns it into Singapore dollars. The rate and any overseas fee are set by them, so your statement may not match a rate you looked up.
No customs, no dutyThe basket is delivered within the United States to an Illinois address. Nothing crosses a border, so there is no customs declaration, no duty and no import handling fee.
The recipient pays nothingEverything is settled when you order. Nobody is asked for money at the door, and no invoice follows the basket.
What can go on the gift card
A personalised greeting message goes with every basket. The card is set in Latin characters, as used in English.
Accents surviveEnglish, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil spellings, accented characters and punctuation all print as written — nothing is stripped.
A few lines work best — the card is a card, not a page.
Popular with senders abroad
Ranked by how often they have been sent by senders outside the United States since December 2022. A different selection from that ranking appears on each country's page, so you are not looking at the same shelf twice. Singapore has not sent enough for its own ranking to be worth printing — a handful of orders would give a bestseller that is really an accident. The overseas ranking is used instead.

Questions from Singaporean senders
Can I get something delivered today?
No — same-day delivery is not offered at all, to anyone. Checkout shows the estimated delivery date for the address.
Will a card registered in Singapore work?
The billing fields take an address in the Singaporean format — street address, unit and six-digit postal code — so your card can be entered as your bank holds it. The delivery address stays the Illinois one; the two are separate and neither has to match the other.
Is delivery really free over $100?
Yes, on orders of $100 and over, and it applies to your order exactly as it would to one placed in Illinois. Smaller orders show their delivery charge at checkout.
What language can I write the card in?
Whatever you like, as long as it uses Latin characters, as used in English. English, mandarin, malay and tamil prints as written.
Can it be held up at customs?
It cannot — there is no customs step. Only the payment comes from abroad, so the only thing between the order and the door is the delivery itself.
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.
