What you fill in from Ireland, and what happens here

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 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

  • Recipient's address Street and ZIP code inside Massachusetts. Everything about the delivery follows from it.
  • Delivery date Picked before you add the basket to the cart, from the days open to that address.
  • Recipient's phone Used at the door if needed, and for no other purpose.

Check the address before you order

Boston Baskets delivers within Massachusetts. Put the recipient's ZIP code in and it will tell you whether the address is inside the area — worth doing from Ireland before you choose a basket.

Every delivery is booked for a date you choose; 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

Booked aheadBaskets are made up for the date on the order. There is no same-day service, not from here and not from anywhere else.
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.
At the doorNo signature is needed unless the order calls for one. If nobody answers, the driver follows the instruction you left or finds a safe place.
Wine, beer and spiritsSomeone 21+ has to take delivery and show photo ID. There is no way around it.
Moving a delivery1 (888) 912-2388 is the fastest route. Changes are easiest before the day the basket is put together.
ProblemsTell us within 24 hours for anything perishable. Getting a replacement out quickly depends on hearing early.

Paying from Ireland, in US dollars

US dollars throughoutBasket prices, delivery and any add-on are all in US dollars. The store never converts to euros.
Conversion happens at your endWe charge dollars; your bank decides what that is in euros. 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.
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

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

Accents surviveEnglish and Irish spellings, accented characters and punctuation all print as written — nothing is stripped.

Keep it shorter than a letter. A card that fits on the card reads better than one that runs off it.

Popular with senders abroad

This is what senders outside the United States have sent most since January 2023. The figure against each basket is its position in that list, and nothing else. $121 is the median order from Ireland since January 2023, taken before delivery — the midpoint, with as many below it as above. December is the busiest month on this route since January 2023, running around 3.0 times a normal month's share — worth choosing a date early if you are sending then.

Before you order from abroad

Does ordering from abroad delay the delivery?

No. The basket is made in Massachusetts for the date on the order, so the order's origin changes nothing about when it arrives. Pick the date on the product page.

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 Ireland; 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.
