The two addresses on a Australian order

The form wants a delivery address and a billing address. The delivery address decides the route and the dates; the billing address only has to satisfy your own bank in Australia.

Your side of the order

  • Your side of the form Your Australian address exactly as your bank holds it — street address, suburb, state and postcode — so the card authorisation goes through first time.
  • Your phone Country code included, for anything that needs answering quickly.
  • Your inbox Confirmation, delivery updates and the receipt all arrive there.

The recipient's side

  • Where the basket goes The recipient's street address and ZIP code in Massachusetts — a home, an office, a ward, a hotel desk.
  • The day it arrives Set it on the product page. What you see there is what is actually open to that address, and checkout confirms the window.
  • A number for the door Their phone, in case nobody answers and the driver needs to ask where to leave it.

Check a Massachusetts ZIP code

Type the ZIP code you have been given. If it is a Massachusetts one, it is in the area; if it is not, you will be told plainly rather than finding out at checkout.

Deliveries are planned in advance, so this is not a same-day service — no order goes out on the day it is placed. The delivery date is chosen on the product page and the window is confirmed at checkout. Free on orders of $100 and over.

How delivery works, plainly

A planned deliveryThe basket is built for the day you choose. Same-day delivery does not exist on this store, so nothing depends on when you press the button.
You choose the dayThe delivery date is set on the product page before the basket goes into the cart, and the window is confirmed at checkout.
What delivery costsNothing on orders of $100 and over; under that you see the charge at checkout before anything is taken.
When it arrivesMost baskets are left without a signature. Anything you write in the delivery note is what the driver works to.
If there is alcohol in itIt goes to a person 21+ with photo ID and to nobody else, wherever the order was placed from.
Changing the orderCall 1 (888) 912-2388 as early as you can. Once a basket has been built for a date, the room to move it is limited.
Something not rightFor perishable items the window is 24 hours; that is what makes a replacement possible.

Paying from Australia, in US dollars

The store prices in USDThere is one currency here and it is the US dollar. Australian dollars do not appear anywhere on the store, and no second rate is applied on this side.
Conversion happens at your endWe charge dollars; your bank decides what that is in Australian dollars. Nothing here is marked up for paying from outside the United States.
No customs, no dutyThe basket is assembled in Massachusetts and delivered in Massachusetts. 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.

The message on the card

A personalised greeting message goes with every basket. The card is set in Latin characters, as used in English.

As you type itWhatever you write in English is what is printed; the card is not re-worded or corrected.

Short is better than complete. There is room for a greeting, not a chapter.

What senders overseas actually choose

The order is senders outside the United States' own, taken from every overseas order since January 2023. Nothing here is promoted; the rank is the rank. $120 is the median order from Australia since January 2023, taken before delivery — the midpoint, with as many below it as above. The one seasonal spike on this route since January 2023 is December, at roughly 3.7 times a normal month. Book the date sooner rather than later.

Before you order from abroad

How soon can a basket arrive if I order from Australia?

As soon as the earliest date offered on the product page, which is the same date offered to anyone ordering for that address. Where you are has no effect on it — the dates depend on the delivery address, not the billing one. Choose the date before you add the basket to the cart.

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.

Do the billing and delivery addresses have to be in the same country?

No. Your billing address is yours in Australia; the delivery address is the recipient's in Massachusetts. 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 assembled in Massachusetts and delivered in Massachusetts, so it never crosses a border and there is nothing to declare or clear.

Can the gift card message be in my language?

Yes — anything in Latin characters, as used in English prints exactly as you type it, accents and all.

Are there rules about the alcohol baskets?

One that matters: delivery is to a person 21+ with photo ID, without exception, whoever placed the order and wherever from.
