Ordering from Germany · delivered in New York
Send gift baskets to New York from Germany
A purchaser in Germany, a recipient in New York: the gift is assembled by the store's own team in the city and hand-delivered by its drivers, the same day only in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens for orders in by 11 a.m. Eastern — 5 p.m. CEST where you are. The charge is in US dollars, and because nothing is shipped internationally the recipient owes no duty and no customs.
Your details and theirs — where each goes
Anyone in Germany can buy for a New York address. The checkout has two sets of fields, the payer's and the recipient's; the recipient's address is what sets the delivery day and the sales tax.
Who pays
The billing section wants your details as your bank holds them: street address, Postleitzahl and city, country Germany, and your Postleitzahl (PLZ) in the postal-code field, which accepts it. None of this is passed to the recipient — they get the gift, the message and your name if you add it.
Delivery — the recipient
Where the gift goes: the New York street address with apartment or suite, the five-digit ZIP (11201, 10001 and so on), United States as the country. Test the ZIP in the checker below — checkout applies the same rule — and include the recipient's phone so the driver can call ahead.
Delivery today runs on New York's clock, not yours
Delivery today needs the order in by 11 a.m. Eastern. In Germany that is 5 p.m. CEST. You choose the recipient's New York date, not your own. Same-day covers Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens (11 a.m. Eastern, seven days a week, by 5 p.m. to businesses and 9 p.m. to homes); the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester and the rest of New York State are next business day by courier when the order is in by 2 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday. Delivery is free on orders of $100 or more per address in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens; otherwise $19.99; courier shipping is shown at checkout before you pay.

Working out today's cut-off in your time zone…
When can it arrive?
Enter the recipient's New York ZIP code — the answer comes from the same delivery service the checkout uses.
Same-day only across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens when ordered by 11 a.m. Eastern; next business day by courier elsewhere in New York State.
Charged in US dollars — your bank converts
USD at checkout
No currency menu: the store prices in US dollars and charges in US dollars. The amount includes New York's sales tax, worked out on the recipient's address, plus delivery where it applies; converting that to euros (EUR) is done by your card issuer at its own rate.
Card marks
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay appear on the store. Your Germany card and your own billing address are all that's needed; expect a verification text if your bank has never seen you buy from a US merchant.
Nothing at the border
Because the basket is built and delivered in New York, there is no international shipment — and therefore no customs, duty or import charge for the recipient.
Card and message
Type your note into Add a Greeting Card on the product page — it's printed verbatim on the card. No name on it, no clue who it's from.
Filling in the form from abroad
Germany speaks German. The site itself is English-only, including the checkout and the help pages.
Message language
Compose the message in any language that uses Latin letters and it is printed as written.
Your own details
Latin letters, matching your card statement: street address, Postleitzahl and city. Add your phone number including the country code.
The recipient's details
The name the doorman or reception would recognise, the street address and ZIP (Latin letters), and a New York phone number for the driver. Offices need the company and floor, hospitals the ward and room.

After you order
Checking progress
Tracking uses the order's email and the recipient's ZIP code (yours — a Postleitzahl (PLZ) — isn't what it expects). Allow a little while before a new order is visible.
Getting help
The support team answers 9 a.m.–8 p.m. Eastern — 3 p.m.–2 a.m. CEST the next day where you are — seven days, on email, phone and live chat; hours stretch around the big holidays.
The 21+ rule
Wine, champagne, beer and spirits are released only to someone 21+ showing photo ID — never left unattended. Non-alcoholic gifts may be left with reception, a concierge, a mailroom or in a safe spot, with a notification to you.

Whichever place you pick, your part of the order from Germany is identical; the page for each destination explains how it is delivered.

Ordering questions: Germany to New York
Will a Germany bank card be accepted?
Yes — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay are the marks shown on the store. The charge is in US dollars; your bank converts it to euros at its own rate.
How much is that in EUR?
The USD total — the gift, New York's sales tax for the recipient's address and any delivery charge — is shown before you pay. Your bank sets the EUR amount at its own rate; the store shows prices in USD only.
Will my recipient be charged duty or a delivery fee?
No. The gift is prepared and delivered inside the United States; there is no customs or import fee. Delivery is free on orders of $100 or more per address in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens; any charge is shown to you at checkout, never to them.
When do I need to order for delivery today?
Before 11 a.m. Eastern on the delivery day — the table above says what that is in Germany today, and the line under it shows today's cut-off on your own clock. After that, the checker offers the next delivery day.
Which date do I choose at checkout?
The date the gift should arrive at the recipient's address, on New York's calendar. If it's already past 11 a.m. in New York, the earliest date offered is tomorrow.
Is a card message in German possible?
Yes, in Latin letters — it prints as typed. Names and the delivery address must be in Latin letters.
