Hi Robert,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern with us. I am incredibly sorry for the panic and frustration this message caused you on a Saturday afternoon—I completely understand why receiving a random notification like that would make you feel uneasy.

Please rest assured that you have not been scammed. We recently experienced a technical glitch in our system that accidentally triggered automated order notifications to some of our customers, even though no actual purchase was made.

I want to completely reassure you that your details are entirely secure. We do not store any payment information in our system, which is why all customers are required to manually enter their payment details every single time they decide to place an order. No orders have been placed under your account, and no charges have been made.

We are deeply sorry for the oversight and the unnecessary worry this caused you. If you have any further questions or if you'd like us to double-check anything else for you, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Warmest wishes,

Gifts Direct Team

Hi Bridget,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. I am incredibly sorry to hear about the frustration and disappointment caused by the delay in your gift arriving at your friend in the USA, especially since it was meant to be there by June 10th.

I have personally checked the tracking details for your order, and I wanted to let you know that the package has now been successfully delivered as of June 13th. The unexpected hold-up was due to a delay in the release of the item by US Customs, which unfortunately slowed down the final delivery process.

We completely understand how important timely deliveries are for gifts, and we are deeply sorry for the stress this situation caused you. If there is anything else we can do to assist you or if you would like the specific tracking details, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Warmest wishes,

Delivery issue

Order placed 24 April for delivery in Spain on 5 May. Estimated delivery was 6 May when placing the order; then said 7 May after order placed. It did not arrive with recipient until 12 May (following week).

Hi Quinn,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us.

I am incredibly sorry to hear about the delay with your delivery to Spain and the frustration it caused. When you place an order with a specific date in mind, especially for a gift, we know how important it is for it to arrive on time. It is very disappointing to hear that the estimated delivery was shifted after your order was placed, and even more so that it didn't reach your recipient until May 12th.

International shipping can sometimes encounter unexpected transit or customs hold-ups along the way. Still, we completely understand that this falls short of the seamless experience we want to provide for you. We deeply appreciate your patience during this delay, and we will review this with our delivery partners to improve our international shipping timelines and estimates.

Warmest wishes,

Late delivery

Late delivery. The Item was held in customs for a week in USA due to inadequate information in the documentation to identify the product (an Easter egg)!

Reply from GiftsDirect.com

Hi Maire,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us.

I am incredibly sorry to hear that your order was delayed and held up in US Customs for a week. I completely understand how frustrating it is to have a time-sensitive gift like an Easter egg delayed, especially when it comes down to a paperwork issue.

We always aim to ensure all international shipping documentation is thorough and seamless, so it is incredibly disappointing to hear that inadequate information caused this hold-up. We take this feedback very seriously and will be reviewing our customs documentation processes immediately to ensure our descriptions are crystal clear and prevent this from happening to future holiday deliveries.

Thank you for being so patient during this delay, and please accept our sincere apologies for letting you down this time.

Warmest wishes,

Hi Grainne,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us.

I am very sorry for the confusion and any frustration this has caused. We recently experienced a system glitch that accidentally triggered automated review emails to some of our past customers, even if you haven't purchased with us in years. Please accept our sincere apologies for this oversight and for the unexpected message.

We also truly regret to hear that your last experience with our product quality and customer service left such a poor impression. We always aim to provide the highest standard of care, and it is disheartening to know we fell short when you contacted us. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as it helps us work harder to improve our services.
