SHIPPING TIPS:

1) SCHEDULE PACKAGES TO ARRIVE EARLY:

It is nice to receive a surprise on your birthday or on the exact date of a holiday, however most people would rather receive a package a day early than a day late. Scheduling a package to arrive early allows for the unknown such as unexpected delays in-transit, failed delivery because the recipient was not home, etc.

2) SHIPPING TO COLLEGE STUDENTS:

  • MAIL / PACKAGE ROOM: Many colleges have a mail room which receives student packages. These mail rooms receive the package on the day you indicate you want the package to be delivered. Often the student is notified that they have a package waiting THE NEXT DAY. The student may not pick up the package until 2 DAYS AFTER it was delivered (or more). Schedule your package to arrive EARLY. Although it's not required, it's not a bad idea to notify the student that a package is coming their way so that they can look out for a slip or email from the mailroom or inquire with the mail room if they have not received the package. This will not spoil their surprise, but rather help to build excitement and anticipation of something coming their way...and it will help to ensure that they actually receive the package.
  • CAMPUS ADDRESSES: Check with Housing, Residence Life, or Student Affairs to make sure your shipping address is formatted correctly. Sometimes a dorm name and number is required (we cannot obtain this for you), other times a campus box number. In almost all cases, we must have a physical street address in order to ship via FedEx or UPS. Campus Box Numbers do not always work in the same way regular PO Boxes work....in most cases packages may be delivered to a campus box number via FedEx if a street address is included in the shipping address.

3) SHIPPING TO MILITARY PERSONNEL:

We will ship any of our packages to military personnel via their APO/FPO address. Some of our kits are specifically designed to not have melting chocolate which tends to not do well in certain warm areas, so please take care of selecting the appropriate kit. All APO/FPO packages MUST be shipped via the US Postal Service (USPS), please do not select another shipment method as your order may be rejected or re-routed to USPS at our discretion.

We are at the mercy of the variety of delivery services when shipping to military personnel. We make no claims as to when your package will arrive. Please leave ample time if this gift is in celebration of a certain date.

Here are some tips to make sure that your package arrives if shipped to APO/FPO:

Use the service member’s full name. The Department of Defense canceled the Any Service Member program so mail must be addressed to someone specific.
Include the unit and APO/FPO (Air/Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address with the nine-digit ZIP Code™ (if one is assigned).

APO/FPO - put this into the City field in the form

AE/AP, etc. - put this into the State field in the form

RETURN POLICY
Customer satisfaction is our top priority. If you experience a problem with any of the products included in your care package, please contact us at support @ giveaperfectgift.com within seven days of delivery so we may resolve any concerns that you may have. We will work with you to take care of the problem immediately.

In order for a refund or replacement to occur, the entire care package, including all contents, must be returned. We will then troubleshoot the problem and resolve it accordingly. Returns and/or exchanges are handled on a case by case basis; any refunds issued will be credited in the manner in which payment for the original order was received, or in the form of a store credit, depending upon the circumstances.

In cases where a package is returned as undeliverable, that package will be immediately forwarded to the billing address on file for the sender. The sender can then choose to forward the package to the recipient or otherwise allocate the package contents. This policy includes packages returned for any reason, aside from error on the part of GiveAPerfectGift.com staff.

For example, if a package is returned due to incorrect address information provided by the sender, failure of the recipient to pick up their mail, or a determination by the US Postal Service, other carrier, or receiving mail facility that a package is undeliverable, that package may be subject to a restocking fee and any fees to cover return delivery. Refunds will not be issued for packages deemed undeliverable due to incorrect or outdated information provided by the sender, or due to the failure of the recipient to claim their mail.

If you have concerns related to the delivery of your package, please contact us at support @ giveaperfectgift.com and we will troubleshoot the situation and work to achieve a prompt resolution. Again, we cannot be responsible for packages that are returned or misdelivered due to incorrect or incomplete address information provided by the sender.

NOTE!!!!!

  • It is our NUMBER #1 Priority to get your order to the recipient on time!!!!

If the item you have ordered is out of stock our associates may substitute your item with a similar style of equal or greater value to make sure your order arrives ON-TIME.
