Send Gift Baskets to Connecticut from the United Kingdom
From the United Kingdom you choose the basket and the address; everything after that happens in Connecticut. Nothing is shipped internationally, so there is no customs step to worry about.
How an order placed in the UK reaches a Connecticut door
Checkout asks for two different things and it helps to keep them apart: where the gift is going, which is always a Connecticut address, and where your card is registered, which is your own address in the United Kingdom.
Your side of the order
- Where your card is registered Your own address in the United Kingdom, written the way your bank has it — street address, town and postcode, with the postcode in its normal format.
- A number that reaches you Include your country code. It is only used if a question about the order comes up and waiting for email would hold things back.
- An email you read Everything the order generates — confirmation, any change, the receipt — arrives by email, not by post.
The recipient's side
- Where the basket goes The recipient's street address and ZIP code in Connecticut — a home, an office, a hospital, a hotel desk.
- The day it arrives The earliest is the next day, in eligible areas, on orders in by 2 p.m. Eastern. A future date can be requested instead.
- A number for the door Their phone, in case nobody answers and the courier needs to ask.
Check the address before you order
Type the ZIP code you have been given. If it is a Connecticut one, it is in the area; if it is not, you will be told plainly rather than finding out at checkout.
The area answer is immediate. For next-day delivery in eligible areas, order by 2 p.m. Eastern — Connecticut time. No delivery charge on orders of $100 and over.

The words that go with the basket
Write the message when you order, not after. Support can change a gift message, but only while there is still time before the basket is prepared.
A few lines work best — a greeting, not a chapter.
Gifts sent from abroad, in order
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. Half of all orders from the United Kingdom since January 2023 come in under the $114 median before delivery and half above it, so the large ones pull nothing upwards. The one seasonal spike on this route since January 2023 is December, at roughly 3.1 times a normal month. Order sooner rather than later.

Questions that come up on this route
How soon can a basket arrive if I order from the United Kingdom?
The next day in eligible Connecticut areas, if the order is in by 2 p.m. Eastern time — the same as for anyone ordering for that address. Where you are has no effect; checkout confirms the date.
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.
Will a card registered in the United Kingdom work?
The billing fields take an address in the British format — street address, town and postcode — so your card can be entered as your bank holds it. The delivery address stays the Connecticut one; the two are separate and neither has to match the other.
Can it be held up at customs?
It cannot — there is no customs step. The gift is made and delivered in the same state, so the only thing between the order and the door is the delivery itself.
Where do I write the message?
In the gift-message box at checkout. Read it through before you pay.
What happens if nobody 21+ is there for an alcohol basket?
It cannot be handed over. Photo ID and an age of 21+ are required at the door, which is why a warning to the recipient saves a wasted trip.
