Terms and Conditions
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OR PURCHASING FROM THIS WEBSITE.
All users of this site agree that access to and use of this site are subject to the following terms and conditions and other applicable law. By purchasing any product from Gifts-to-Impress.com, you have agreed to all terms and conditions outlined below. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use or purchase from this site.
Food Allergies
Some of our gift baskets and boxes contain nuts, dairy, wheat and/or other food products that could induce serious, even fatal, reactions to inviduals who suffer from food allergies. When purchasing from this site, you are solely respsonsible for reading the contents of each gift prior to purchase and agree not to send or give any questionable gifts to individuals who may suffer from food allergies. Gifts-to-Impress.com, nor our vendors, nor third-parties linked to or from this site, will be held responsible for any allergic reaction in any individual caused by any of the ingredients found in any of our products.
Item Substitutions
By purchasing from this site, you understand that photos of our gift baskets may show items that are no longer available and will be replaced by similar items of equal or greater value based on availability. The overall look and value of the gift will remain the same.
Also, during the warmer months, chocolate items in our gourmet gift baskets will be substituted with other items that won't melt. Some of our gourmet gift baskets that consist entirely of, or mostly of, chocolate items will not be available at all on our site during this time. We consider the "warmer" months to usually be between May and October each year, but we use our discretion based on current national weather conditions at the time baskets are shipped.
Shipping
"Standard" shipping could take as little as 3 and as many as 15 days for delivery. In addition to transit time, orders take on average between 1-2 business days to process. This must be taken under consideration when selecting expedited shipping such as 3-Day, Next-Day, etc. For example, if selecting 3-Day shipping, your purchase will ship via USPS, Fed-Ex or UPS "3-Day" after it has gone through processing in our order department...meaning it could take up to 5 business days from the date the order was placed for the package to actually arrive at it's destination. Distance between the vendor and the chosen shipping address, holidays, inclement weather and other factors beyond our control will affect delivery times. In areas where the US Postal Carrier will not leave a package on a doorstep, the "delivery date" will be considered the date a USPS notice is left for the recipient. Gifts-to-Impress.com is not responsible for the amount of time that lapses between such a notice being issued and the actual time it takes for the recipient to retrieve their package from their local post office. The carrier used for each shipment is at our sole discretion and based upon which of our vendors your shipment is originating. Unless the vendor ships via USPS, Saturday delivery is not included.
Shipments Containing Wine and other Alcohol
When sending or receiving wine or other alcohol containing products, keep in mind that the package will not be released without the signature of an individual the age of 21 years or over with a valid ID at time of delivery. Please keep this in mind when choosing the shipping address for your order: It is not recommended that the shipping address be that of a residence where an adult over the age of 21 may not be present when the carrier attempts delivery.
Due to availability and/or local ordinances regarding alcohol, gifts containing wine or champagne are available for delivery in the following states only, and only on the condition an adult signature is provided upon delivery: AK, AZ, CA, CT, DC, ID, IL, MI, MN, MO, NC, NH, NV, OH, OR, SC, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, and WY.
We CANNOT ship wine or champagne gifts to any of the following: AL, AR, CO, DE, FL, GA, HI, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MS, MT, ND, NE, NJ, NM, NY, OK, PA, RI, SD, TN, VT or WI. Orders placed with a shipping address to any of these states will be canceled.
Gift Messages
Our products are drop-shipped from various vendors in various parts of the United States. Therefore, the packing slip included in the shipment may have OUR address listed as the billing address and your recipients address listed as the shipping address. Many times, your name will not appear on the packing slip UNLESS you have taken the time to enter a gift message under the options sections. Please keep this in mind so that your recipient will know who to thank for their gift. If you wish to send a gift anonymously, please indicate this to us. Otherwise, we may assume you have simply forgotten the gift message and take the liberty of filling in the "To" and "From" fields in the gift message area ourselves.
Obscene or threatening language will not be accepted for gift messages. In such events, Gifts-to-Impress.com reserves the right to rewrite the gift message or cancel the order altogether.
