What is an eGift?

An eGift is a way to send a physical gift with a personalized greeting through an email or special link that can be shared through social media such as LinkedIn or text message. Recipients receive an email notification of their eGift, click through to a redemption page, customize their gift* and enter their preferred shipping address. eGifts are the perfect way to recognize clients and employees without knowing a physical address, or to allow your gift recipient to choose their favorite* from a pre-selected set of options. *eGifts with multiple gift selection available for corporate gifting platform accounts only.
How do CorporateGift eGifts work?

Yes! You can specify a future delivery date in Checkout, up to four months in advance. (Please note, during high volume periods such as Holiday, future-date scheduling from the marketplace may be suspended as we cannot reserve or guarantee stock availability for future-date eGift redemptions).

This feature is available only to Corporate accounts.
Contact us for more info. Marketplace orders are limited to one gift option per eGift.
How can I calculate tax and shipping costs?

Can eGifts be exchanged?
eGifts can be exchanged to another item only before an item ships. Recipients can click “Upgrade” on the eGift website link (unless the sender disables this option). If Upgrade is selected, the sender will only be notified that the gift was redeemed, not that it was exchanged. If the exchanged gift and associated shipping costs exceeds the value that a sender originally committed to, the recipient covers the additional cost.
Can eGifts be returned?
Gifts are not eligible for return once the recipient has accepted the eGift and order has been dispatched. If an item arrives damaged, please
contact customer service.
What if I have unredeemed eGifts?
When you close your eGift order and settle the transaction, you will receive a refund for the difference between your eGift deposit (maximum gift, shipping and tax costs) and your actual costs, less the non-refundable eGift fees for each recipient (to cover the non-refundable costs we incur to service your eGift order).
If you manually close the order through your account, you have the option to take your refund back to your original method of payment, or take it as CG Credits for use on future orders.
eGift orders automatically close after 90 days from the transaction date, at which time your refund balance is deposited into your CG Credits account.
If at any time you would like to “cash out” your CG Credits balance, simply contact us and we’ll refund you by check. Send an email to accounting @ corporategift.com with “CG Credits refund” in the subject line, and your order number in the message body.
Will my recipient see the gift’s price?
Gift prices are not shown to recipients. If a recipient chooses to exchange for something of a higher value, they will only be shown the additional amount owed. You will not be charged for any difference in exchange value.
What if an email bounces?
You will be notified if an email bounces in your customer dashboard. To reach your recipient, you can choose to update the email address and re-send the invitation, or cancel/redact the invitation and send to someone else.
Gifting platform users can alternatively send a text message to notify recipients with bounced emails, or cancel the eGift through the dashboard.
What if my recipient doesn’t open or can’t find their email?
If a recipient does not open the gift email the first time they are notified, CorporateGift.com will resend the eGift two additional times until the receiver opens the email. If the email is still not opened after the third send, a sender can log into their CorporateGift.com account to redeem the order on behalf of the recipient. After manually adding the shipping address, the gift will be automatically shipped.
What if my eGft invitation gets stuck in an email filter?
We apply specific technologies to ensure gift emails are not susceptible to Junk or Spam folders. You may view which recipients have opened or not opened your eGift emails. For unopens, you may contact your recipient and ask them to check their spam folders, or redeem the gift by adding the recipient shipping address from within your CorporateGift.com account. You may also send them their dedicated link directly through email, text or social media.
What if an eGift email is accidentally deleted?
If the recipient accidently deletes the eGift notification, ask the recipient to double check their Trash folder. If it cannot be retrieved, please
contact customer support.
Do eGift invitations expire?
If you receive an eGgift, you may have a set time to redeem your gift, determined by your sender. Please note, if not redeemed in a timely manner, your eGift may become unavailable/out-of-stock from the seller or may expire. If your eGift is unavailable to redeem or has expired, you will be notified on your redemption page.
If you send an eGift, your recipient has a default of 90 days to redeem their eGift if sent through the marketplace. If you’re a
gifting platform customer, you may configure a custom redemption time window.
Can you cancel an eGift?
Only senders may cancel an eGift (as a recipient, you may decline your eGift and your sender will be notified). As a sender you may cancel an order only if you have selected a future date for the eGift notification. You may cancel up to three days prior to the scheduled date for a full refund. Any pending charges on your credit card will be reversed upon cancellation. If you’ve made an error in recipient’s address or details, you may edit it at any time through your CorporateGift.com account under the eGift Management tab.
