Hospital, senior living, hospice, campus & hotel deliveries in Austin

A basket ships by parcel to a street address, so it cannot go to a PO box, a graveside or a service. What it can do is reach a bedside, a resident's door, a campus mailroom or a hotel front desk, as long as the order names the person the way that place expects. Below, the kinds of places in and around Austin that boxes get sent to, how each one receives a parcel, and a local example laid out the way the label should read. For a service itself, the same-day flowers on this page go by hand through the local florist.

Hospitals

Parcels go to the hospital's receiving desk or mailroom and are brought up by staff, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge. Baked goods, fruit and snack boxes suit a room; nothing that needs a fridge. Where a unit does not allow fresh flowers, a basket or a plant is the surer gift.

Also near Austin: Austin Oaks Hospital and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center- Austin, and 1 more.

Senior living and nursing homes

Reception signs for the box and staff bring it through, so a weekday delivery reaches the resident faster than a Saturday one. Soft baked goods, fruit and sugar-free boxes are the usual choice.

Reception signs. Most senders choose something the relatives keeping vigil can share: coffee, tea, cookies, fruit.

Also near Austin: Cella Bellas Hospice Corporation.

Colleges and campus mailrooms

Campus mailrooms hold parcels for pickup and notify the student, so a text to say a box is on the way helps. Exam weeks and move-in are the busy times; care packages go out two business days ahead.

Hotels

The front desk matches the box to the reservation and hands it over at check-in. Ship for the day the guest arrives or the day before, never for after checkout.

  3. It ships 2-day to Austin; you get a shipping confirmation with tracking when it leaves.
  4. The carrier brings it to the door, the front desk or the mailroom on the day you chose, so it is worth checking that someone will be around.

Flowers and fruit baskets (hand-delivered the same day)

Order bySame-day delivery
Monday–Friday2:00 PM
Saturday12:45 PM
SundayNot available*

Times are your recipient's local time (Central). Flowers and fruit baskets on this page are fulfilled by James Cress Florist (family-run since 1903) through a florist near Austin that it has vetted: that shop makes the piece from fresh stock and brings it to the door by hand. *Sundays: the florists in that network deliver only on a few major holidays. In the rare case that no florist near Austin can take the order, the full amount is refunded.

If I order a basket today, when can it reach Austin?

Baskets ship 2-day, sooner in some regions, and you pick the delivery day on the calendar at checkout. An order placed by 3:45 PM Eastern can arrive as soon as two days later; the calendar shows the exact days open for your recipient's ZIP code (73301, 73344, 78701 and others).

Can a basket be shipped to St David's South Austin Medical Center?

Yes. St David's South Austin Medical Center sits 2 miles out from Austin, and the box goes to its street address. Address the box to the patient's full name with the unit or room number and use the hospital's street address. Hospitals take parcels at a receiving desk or mailroom and staff bring them up, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge; a box that arrives after the patient has left sits in the mailroom until someone claims it. Fresh flowers are not allowed on some units, so for intensive care or oncology a basket or a plant is the surer gift.
