Ordering from France · delivered in the United States
Send baby gifts to the USA from France
A French card, an American address, one order. We pack the basket in New Jersey or Los Angeles and deliver inside the country, so the recipient pays no duty.
Entering the addresses
Two forms: where the baby gift is going in the United States, then where your card is registered in France. Everything about delivery comes from the first.
Where you are — France
The billing form takes your own format (street address, code postal and commune); nothing from it reaches the recipient.
Where the gift goes
Complete US street address (unit or suite included), city, state, ZIP code and a working phone number for the recipient.
The cut-offs in France's time
In New Jersey the warehouse stops packing at 2 p.m. Eastern; where you are, that moment is 8 p.m. CEST — well into your evening, so a daytime order always makes it, and Los Angeles later still. You choose the recipient's delivery date at checkout; the cut-off at the warehouse that serves their address, and the transit time from it, decide the earliest date the checker will offer.
| Where you are | Same-day, only in the same-day areas, when ordered by | Courier, leaves that day when ordered by |
|---|---|---|
| France (CEST) | 5 p.m. (New York / North Jersey) · 8 p.m. (Los Angeles) | 8 p.m. (New Jersey) · 9:30 p.m. (Los Angeles) |
Same-day runs only where the checker answers local: parts of New York City, North Jersey and the Los Angeles area. Everywhere else is courier, one to three business days in transit in the checker's answers.
Times as of September 25, 2026, daylight saving allowed for. Closed: Thanksgiving, Thu Nov 26; Christmas Day; New Year's Day.
Working out today's cut-offs in your time zone…
When can it arrive?
Enter the recipient's ZIP code — the answer comes from the same delivery service the checkout uses.
Gifts leave our New Jersey or Los Angeles warehouse, whichever serves the address: orders placed by 2 p.m. Eastern in New Jersey or 12:30 p.m. Pacific in Los Angeles go out the same business day. Same-day hand delivery runs only where the checker answers local — in parts of New York City, North Jersey and the Los Angeles area — when the order is in by 11 a.m. in that city's own time. The charge depends on the recipient's ZIP: for most addresses the checker lists ground delivery at no charge, in some western areas (Arizona and Washington State among them) it lists only a paid courier rate, and a same-day charge shows at checkout.
Paying from France
Not in euros
The store charges in US dollars; the figure on your statement in euros depends on your bank's rate.
Paying
The checkout shows Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay; the billing address must match your card.
Domestic delivery
Because the gift never crosses a border, there is no duty and no customs delay; the recipient pays nothing.
What you'll see
A single converted amount in euros; some issuers add a small foreign-transaction fee.
Writing the card and the address
Everything on the store is in English, and a card message can be written in French, in Latin characters.
Your card message
Typed at checkout, accents and all.
Billing in your layout
Write it as your bank has it: street address, code postal and commune.
US layout for the recipient
Street address, city, state, ZIP code; ask them for the ZIP if you are unsure.
The store's most-sent baskets
Too few French orders to rank on their own, so these are drawn from the baby gifts sent most across the store, since January 2023.

Before you order from France
Will my card work?
Yes. The checkout shows Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, Apple Pay and Google Pay; a card issued abroad works when the billing address is entered exactly as your bank holds it, in your own format. PayPal is not offered.
What will it cost me in euros?
The price in US dollars, the delivery charge for the recipient's ZIP and that state's sales tax, all shown at checkout. There is no flat rate: for most addresses the checker lists ground delivery at no charge, in some western areas it lists only a paid courier rate, and a same-day charge shows at checkout. Your bank converts the total to euros. The recipient pays nothing.
What is the cut-off in my time zone?
Order by 2 p.m. Eastern in New Jersey or 12:30 p.m. Pacific in Los Angeles (8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. CEST where you are), and the gift goes out that business day, Monday to Friday; courier transit follows, one to three business days in the checker's answers. Same-day hand delivery of eligible gifts is offered only where the checker answers local — parts of New York City, Northern New Jersey and the Los Angeles area — when the order is in by 11 a.m. in that city's own time. For any other ZIP, the checker's date is the earliest available.
Which date do I choose at checkout?
Any later date at checkout; the cut-offs only set the earliest day. The date you choose is the family's date in the United States, not yours — useful when the baby is still due.
Can I write the card in French?
Yes. Where available, a gift message is typed at checkout, in French or English; it cannot change once the order is being prepared.
Is there an age check for wine?
Yes, some baby baskets carry wine or champagne for the parents, subject to the law where it lands; the recipient must be 21+ and show photo ID at the door. Baskets without a bottle need no ID.
