Etiquette - not everyone follows the same rules.<div><br /></div><div>If I receive a gift I always follow up with a thank you phone call or thank you note. But not everyone is me. Today a client called an was discourteous with our phone representative telling them even though the gift showed delivered there was no way it was as he knows the person would have called him to thank him. So he wanted his money back.</div><div><br /></div><div>We do something called Quality Assurance follow ups - we call the recipient and make sure the basket was indeed was received and if they were pleased with the gift. Our rep offered to do this in this case for our client. This gift was indeed received by the recipient and was loved. He could not have been happier with it. We relayed this to our client who purchased the gift.</div><div><br /></div><div>We see this time and time again - people send gifts and wait to hear from the recipient thanking them and never do. This leads me to the title of this blog. Not everyone - especially corporate executives send thank you letters. They receive numerous gifts throughout the year and especially the holidays.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, do not be afraid to call us and ask if the gift was delivered - we will do the follow up for you. For our clients to call the recipient and ask "did you get my gift" puts all in an uncomfortable position. We are here to help - we have solutions for this!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662745269322325246-55045335425009385?l=giftsfordelivery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Theresa Snoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662745269322325246.post-3041399329235466212010-01-19T18:07:00.001-08:002010-01-19T18:19:15.663-08:00Time and again we hear the question "Will the recipient get an invoice in their gift?" Our answer is easy - no - we are a speciality gift company and we are experts in sending your gifts.<br /><br />People think they are saving money by shopping for a gift with the online big box retailers - this is truly a misnomer. Not only are our gift prices lower - our shipping times are guaranteed and mainly we are experts in gift presentation. Your gifts are festively prepared and packaged carefully for shipment. The recipient will NEVER get an invoice. <br /><br />We hear stories time and again from people that have used the big box retailers and the recipient found right there in the gift box a copy of the invoice and how much was spent on the gift. We just want to assure our customer this will never happen with us.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662745269322325246-304139932923546621?l=giftsfordelivery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Theresa Snoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662745269322325246.post-89639208767307261382009-11-11T11:36:00.001-08:002009-11-11T11:48:34.679-08:00Many people in todays economy are looking for a deal and when they see free shipping they jump in feet first and thing they are getting a deal.<div><br /></div><div>Well, this is one of the biggest mistakes customers make and many time they actually end up paying MORE for a gift with free shipping then they would have if they just shopped around for a better price.</div><div><br /></div><div>We see it time and time and again in our industry - our competition offering deals such as free shipping on select gift baskets or ALL the gift baskets on their website. But is free really free? In most cases no. </div><div><br /></div><div>We shop our competition on a regular basis to keep our prices competitive on similar product lines. I personally have seen our competition offer the exact same item we offer at twice the price we list it for - but people see the free shipping and think it is a deal.</div><div><br /></div><div>We at GiftBasketsforDelivery.com and BasketsforHer.com offer a <a href="http://www.giftbasketsfordelivery.com/guarantees.aspx">Best Price Guarantee</a> - if you see the same gift item on our competition website and they offer it at a lower price - product (price plus &amp; shipping and handling fee)we will gladly meet that price plus an additional 5% discount.</div><div><br /></div><div>So we encourage you to shop around but know - when you order from us your low price is guaranteed!</div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662745269322325246-8963920876730726138?l=giftsfordelivery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Theresa Snoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662745269322325246.post-34804615683147713202009-08-26T05:58:00.000-07:002009-08-26T06:11:56.617-07:00We hear it all the time, "Gosh, I just don't know what to send!"<div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Whether</span> it is a birthday gift, get well gift and especially a sympathy gift - our staff is always hearing this phrase. They have come to our web-store as they have decided a gift basket is the right thing to send - they look to us to decide which one.</div><div><br /></div><div>Birthdays are easy, send something you know the recipient enjoys - a basket of gourmet foods and snacks is perfect. They make a wonderful impression when they arrive to the customer and are filled with great treats - our store offers gift baskets starting in the 30 dollar range going to over 700.00 - something for every budget.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Sympathy Gift Basket is always the toughest.

Needless to say we cannot send gifts via this method of shipping as ground transit times can be as much as 5 days in transit and no chocolate gift will arrive unmelted after this period of time.</div><div><br /></div><div>If sending a gift in the summer - it is advisable not to choose a gift completely comprised of chocolates if you want to select the lower priced ground shipping. Gift baskets that have some chocolate are fine, we are able to substitute the items inside these gifts with items that will withstand the heat. But, with gifts made up completely of chocolate - we have nothing to substitute and we have to then contact the customer with the disappointing news that we cannot ship as ordered.</div><div><br /></div><div>So best advice - if you see something you like on our websites and have questions on shipping those items- contact us and we can work with you to decide the best shipping method to get your gift there as perfect when it left our facility!</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662745269322325246-3757550483624530828?l=giftsfordelivery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Theresa Snoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662745269322325246.post-25452408830990568302009-06-17T12:56:00.000-07:002009-06-17T13:05:36.221-07:00We had discussed in our office last week some of the questions and comments made by customers.

When we ship an order - most times it is for an occasion that falls on a certain date.<br /><br />This Mother's Day we saw a wide variety of clients - the client's who had their gift ordered well before the holiday itself as well as those who were scrambling at the last minute to get a gift there in time for Mother's Day.<br /><br />The "early bird" shoppers took advantage of ordering early and having their gift arrive in time for the holiday with the least expensive method of shipping - ground shipping. Our websites at <a href="http://www.basketsforher.com"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">BasketsforHer</span>.com</a> and <a href="http://http://www.giftbasketsfordelivery.com"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">GiftBasketsforDelivery</span>.com</a> offer "order early" service - this is where a client can order as far in advance as they like and have the gift arrive in time for the holiday. They just select future date shipping and give us the date the gift is to arrive, we take it from there. We recommend this feature because with some gifts - especially holiday specific gifts - we carry a limited stock - ordering early ensures the item is in stock.<br /><br />Our last minute shoppers unfortunately had some difficulties - contacting us the Friday and Saturday before Mother's Day looking to have a gift arrive on Sunday. This unfortunately is impossible - we utilize FedEx and UPS for shipments and they deliver Monday-Friday only . <br /><br />Our customers looking for <a href="http://www.giftbasketsfordelivery.com/same-day-gift-delivery.aspx">Same Day Gift Delivery</a> found themselves disappointed as well - due to the high volume of orders received - we had to impose a cutoff on Mother's Day Gift deliveries. This was implemented as our shops were completely scheduled for Mothers Day deliveries by Thursday May 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> - they could no longer accept orders. Customer's who did not order before Thursday May 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span> were informed their Mother's Day Gift could not be delivered until Monday, May 11<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span>. <br /><br />So I write this blog to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">encourage</span> everyone to shop early - this saves the headaches of out of stock items, having to utilize costly express shipping to have the gift arrive in time and the fact that you may not have a gift arrive in time for that special holiday!<br /><br />Our representatives are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">available</span> daily to help you with any questions or to help you select the perfect gift!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662745269322325246-1289756584714683497?l=giftsfordelivery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Theresa Snoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662745269322325246.post-72318423930070773992009-05-01T08:42:00.001-07:002009-05-01T09:04:38.832-07:00Of all the holidays that we ship for - Mother's Day is one of our favorites - the celebration of Mom.<br /><br />On our website BasketsforHer.com we have an entire category of gifts designed just for Mother's Day.
