| Q: Will my chocolate/candy gift basket melt? |
A: Due to the delicate and perishable nature of chocolate and candy, some of our gift baskets can only be shipped during the cooler months. For gift baskets that include smaller amounts of chocolate or candy, we will replace them with other items of equal or greater value or will adjust our pricing accordingly.
For baskets that contain mostly chocolate or candy, if your destination city is greater than 70 degrees, to avoid melting, make sure you choose 2 or Next day delivery. My Gift Basket Ideas cannot be responsible for chocolate or candy gift baskets melting if you do not choose faster delivery services. |

| Q: Can you tell me what items are currently out of stock? |

| Q: What if I give the incorrect mailing address? |
| A: An Address Correction fee of $25.00 will be charged to offset the costs of
correcting and rerouting a product shipment with an incorrect address to its intended destination. This fee will be charged whenever an incorrect street
address is entered for an order such as an apartment/suite number that is missing or incorrect, a postal code that is missing or incorrect or any other

Although we place a high priority on getting your order shipped as soon as possible, please note we make no guarantees as large orders, seasonal peaks, severe weather conditions or other circumstances may sometimes delay shipping. If you require a rush order, please call us, toll-free at 1-800-846-1078 to discuss special arrangements. |
| |
| Q: Do you provide Hospital & Hotel deliveries? |
| A: Deliveries to hospitals and hotels are NOT RECOMMENDED. Since their deliveries
normally go to a general receiving department and then get routed to the recipient’s room, we do not guarantee these deliveries. Sorry, no refunds will
be given should you decide to ship to these types of locations. Therefore if you place your order with a hospital or hotel delivery address, we will assume you
have taken all this into account and will ship your order per your request. Instead of a hospital delivery, we highly recommend that you ship to either a
nearby family member if possible or to the patient’s home address. |
| |
| Q: Do you offer faster delivery than Ground? |
| A: Yes. We also offer 2 and 3 Business Day as well as Next Day delivery. If you need expedited shipping please send an email with your shipping
address, the item(s) you are interested in and the time frame you need to receive them to info@mygiftbasketideas.com. We
will contact you and provide a shipping quote along with ordering options. |
| |
| Q: What if my gift basket is not in stock? |
A: If your order is out of stock we will let you know what the estimated waiting
time will be. You are welcome to check the availability of any item by emailing us at info@mygiftbasketideas.com.
Please include the item name and size in your email.

| |
| Q: What is your return policy? |
| A: If you need to return something, please send an email to returns@mygiftbasketideas.com or call us at 1-800-846-1078 within 2 days of receiving your order for authorization on a return. We will accept authorized returns within 2 days as long as the items are unused and in the original packaging. Once your returned item has been approved, you will be issued a credit (shipping will be deducted from the total amount) on your credit card. If you decide that you need to return an item that was shipped via our free standard shipping method, the shipping costs will be deducted from your credit. |
| |
| Q: What happens if my gift gets lost or damaged in transit? |
| A: We will place a claim with the courier. Once the claim has been completed and not before, a refund or reshipment will be offered. Claims typically take 3-5 days to process with the shipping couriers. (APO/FPO Shipments going via USPS do not offer claim service.) All damage claims must be filed in writing via fax or email within 3 business days of the gift being received. NO exceptions. We will not honor damage claims several weeks old under any circumstances. APO/FPO deliveries are not guaranteed - Unfortunately, USPS policy does not allow for oversea claims therefore there are no loss claims, late delivery refunds or damage claims available. You ship these orders at your own risk. If the gift is lost - you will need to file a claim at the Military USPS office: http://hqdainet.army.mil/mpsa/ |
