Let me first say that I am not the type of person that writes reviews EVER. This is in fact the first time in my life that I have experienced service so poor, that I was compelled to write a review. I received a certificate from my company on 9/8. I visited GC website the next day and placed an order for two certs, one $25 and one $100 both for Amazon. The delivery time was 5-10 days. I received the $25 card over 2 weeks later... close to the 5-10 days stated, so no big deal. But, the $100 cert still showed a status of "Waiting for inventory". I emailed and customer service sent a response saying "sometimes it takes a bit longer than 5-10 days" and that it was being delayed due to "hurricanes". A week later... still nothing... I emailed again and received literally word for word the same response. I responded that this was a paste and copy response. They responded saying Amazon was out of stock and they do not know when they will be able to send my cert so my options are to wait (who knows how long) or to chose a different cert. A couple weeks later... still nothing... I call and am told that they are inundated with Amazon requests so they cannot fulfill my $100. I asked if I could just have four $25 certs instead and I am told that this will "put me back at the back of the line" and will delay delivery further. Seems that the original hurricane excuse was just that, an excuse. The new excuse is that too many people are requesting Amazon and that it is taking over a month. So, I am not sure why they still show 5-10 days delivery instead of "out of stock" or "30+ day delivery"...? Either way, I ask what is in stock and am told that anything that says 5-10 days delivery is out of stock... which is more than half of their certs. Now it is 1 month and 1 week after my original request and I am still waiting, as my only other option would be to get a $100 certificate to some restaurant that I will never eat at or a store that I don't shop at. I have read nothing but bad reviews on this company... and after this experience I can confirm with certainty that their operations and service is HORRIBLE. I work for a very large corporation and I will definitely be submitting my feedback to our incentive and commissions department. This company seems like a middle man that is pocketing profits and delaying delivery by months. If you are considering this company for your business or as a gift please go with Visa gift cards instead.
I was ripped off by one of these penny auction sites. They are complete scams. You spend money to bid on an item, and you don't even know whether other people are really bidding. Who knows if the items actually exist, and are going to be sent to you? I know I didn't win anything. Ebay is the only legitimate company I know of. These penny auctions are just a scam, don't expect to actually win an item.
I got a basket of flowers delivered to my brother, the product that they delivered looked nothing like what i ordered, it was terrible and embarrassing. They were old and rotten like someone pick it up from the road. When i contacted them, they said they wont do anything. Once order is placed, they don't resend new item or refund. WORST WEBSITE. NEVER EVER BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE AGAIN, THEY ARE THIEVES AND DONT CARE ABOUT THE SERVICE OR CUSTOMERS.
This site appears to be good. But when it comes time to deliver they fall short. They send you a receipt of what they charged you. Then never send your product ordered. They don't respond to E-mail, phone call, Messages, and if your lucky, very very lucky you might get some one on live chat. Which they will tell you your order is on back order, or is lost and will reship, or they just finished and will ship in 2-3 days. Then when your finally fed up and demand a refund they say ok. But wait. Guess what? THEY DON"T REFUND you your money. So you try again to contact them. And guess what? Nothing yet again. So be forewarned stay away. If you want google them and you'll see that this is not a one time incident. And there MO is the same with everyone.
This website is full of lies - they say they have everything in stock and that they ship from their warehouse in Florida. I ordered from them - they didn't have what I wanted. Turns out they have no stock at all and no warehouse! They use drop-shipping from other companies and apparently never even see the items they sell. They mistreat their customers, fail to answer e-mails, and overcharge tremendously compared to other sites that sell Murano Glass. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY - don't buy from them!
I didn't get one item, and received two others that were wrong. The site doesn't answer their phones, or emails. I've tried for weeks with no response. I paid a big shipping fee now I'm out money and can't get the satisfaction of a live person, or email for that matter. What happened to the messed up order! The voice mail is full. DON'T buy from here is you want froggie stuff. I was planning a kids party and just want my goodies.
PART 1: June 3,2011 In the middle of the pile of sympathy cards and bills we received today was a letter from a company called EngravedCustomGifts.com in Katy, Texas. The letter was dated May 31,2011 and addressed to my husband Craig, who died on Tuesday, May 24,2011. The letter tells my husband that his Engraved Crystal Paperweight order is complete and ready to be shipped. The letter instructs him to go online to their website to review the order and make a final payment for it. The letter immediately aroused my suspicions. During the last month of his life, Craig was in and out of the hospital and on some serious pain medications. I was with him nearly 24/7. I never saw him order anything online or over the phone, and he never spoke to me about such an order. However, Craig did enjoy ordering special things from catalogs, often without telling me, so I decided to log on to the website and see what he had supposedly ordered. On the website were four crystal paperweights, one for each of our children. Each paperweight began with one of the kid's names, and then contained a trite saying about life and death. Each was signed, "Love DAD." Anyone who knew my husband or knows my family knows that my children have always called Craig "Papa" rather than Dad. Always. I knew then and there that Craig had not ordered these engraved "customized" paperweights. First off, he never would have selected such trite and God-less sayings as a final message to his children. And NEVER would he have ordered that a "customized" item be signed "DAD." So, it is obvious to me that the people at EngravedCustomGifts.com in Katy, Texas pay someone to search obituaries and other online sources for the names and addresses of people who have died, and then send out these bogus letters a week after the person's death to make their loved ones believe that the deceased person actually ordered these things. Of course many people will fall for this and pay the fee, thinking that their dead father, mother or grandparent wanted them to have that "special" paperweight. In addition to sending the company a complaint via the "contact us" form on their website, I also contacted the Minnesota Attorney General's office to alert them to this scam and ask them to investigate. I also contacted the American Cancer Society, since the ECG website featured their logo with a statement that a portion of every order placed would be donated by ECG to the American Cancer Society. I thought they would want to know that a fraudulent website was using the name, logo and reputation of the ACS to make their scam look more legitimate. I also encouraged the ACS to use their power and presence in the public square to educate people about scams directed toward grieving families. A representative from the American Cancer Society responded to me right away, and told me someone on their staff would look into it. Lastly, I contacted PayPal, because the ECG website purports to use PayPal to collect payments for the orders. (When you click on the "pay now" link on the ECG website, you are connected to what looks like a PayPal log-in page. I suspect it's not an actual PayPal page, but that ECG uses it to collect people's PayPal usernames and passwords, and then uses that information to steal their funds or commit other acts of identity theft.) Thus far, all I have received from PayPay are automated email responses that demonstrate that no one at PayPal ever actually reads the emails people send them. (Or perhaps PayPal is really a gigantic conglomeration of computers, without a real person behind it at all. Be honest. We all kind of suspected that anyway, didn't we?) PART 2: June 28,2011 Last week I received a letter from Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson. She expressed her condolences and wrote, "It is unconscionable that a company would try to take advantage of your family at this difficult time in your lives." The letter goes on to say that she has written to EngravedCustomGifts.com, asking for a written response within 10 days, including a copy of the order form that was supposedly submitted. I doubt she'll get a response. Swanson's letter also states that members of her staff have viewed the EngravedCustomGifts.com website and concluded it has the appearance of a bogus company, without a street address or telephone number listed. Further research by Swanson's staff did not turn up this information. Quoting directly from Swanson's letter: "Websites like these are easily created and offer an opportunity for scam artists to act as a legitimate company to obtain payments for orders that are never sent or, in your case, try to collect on invoices for orders that were never placed... Some unscrupulous scam artists may use readily available information sources such as newspaper obituaries to play on the emotional upheaval caused by the death of a loved one. Obituaries contain significant personal information about a family including the names of close family members. If your case, it appears that the scam artist may have used this information in hopes of getting payment of a fraudulent invoice in hopes of a sentimental reminder of your loved one." Swanson has assigned this case to one of the assistant attorneys general in her office for further investigation. I'm glad to have "official" confirmation of my suspicions about this company, although I don't know if even the Minnesota Attorney General will be able to stop them. They'll probably pull down the old site once they know someone's on their trail, and put up a new website under some other bogus name. I think the best way to stop people like this is to let friends and family members know that such scams exist and warn them to be cautious. And that's why I'm writing today. PART 3: July 15,2011 Yesterday, I received from the Minnesota Attorney General's Office copies of correspondence between them and ECG. As you recall, the Minnesota AG sent a letter to ECG, asking that they provide a copy of the original order they received from Craig. To be honest, I didn't think ECG would respond at all, but they did. In their letter, they claim that I contacted them and "demanded that we reveal to her, personal and financial information about someone whom she claimed was one of her dead relatives. We explained to her that we abide by a privacy policy that prevents us from disseminating personal or private information about anyone, living or dead, without written permission. She insisted that, in her particular case, we should violate our privacy policy. We refused to do so." Where do I begin to respond to these lies? 1. While I did contact them with an email via their website (letting them know I was on to them, telling them I thought they were despicable for preying on grieving families, and encouraging them to get right with God before they stand before Him on Judgment Day), I never asked them to reveal Craig's personal and financial information. I am his widow! I already have that information, thank you very much! (Oh, and thanks, ECG, for implying that I was lying about being related to my own dead husband!) 2. No one at ECG has ever directly contacted me about this situation to explain their privacy policy to me. I never insisted that they violate their so-called privacy policy, because I have not been in direct contact with them, other than the initial complaint email. The Minnesota AG's Office responded to ECG's letter with a second letter that reiterates that the deceased relative in question is indeed my late husband, and that the Minnesota AG believes it reasonable that ECG provide a copy of the order form Craig allegedly submitted. They are giving ECG another 10 days to send a written response. Can't wait to read the new lies they'll come up with for that letter! All along, I have been sharing the details of this situation with Jane Friedmann, a journalist on the Whistleblower staff at the Star Tribune, our local newspaper. Jane told me today that she would be treating this story as an "ongoing saga," the first installment of which will appear in this Sunday's paper. When I talked to Jane this afternoon, she also told me that the American Cancer Society logo is now gone from the ECG website. I'm guessing someone at the ACS sent them a strongly worded "cease and desist" letter. PART 4: July 29,2011 A small article about my experiences with the scammers at EngravedCustomGifts.com (ECG) ran in the StarTribune newspaper on Sunday, July 16. (You can read the article here: http://www.startribune.com/local/125691298.html. The article contains two separate stories, so you'll need to scroll down to the subhead that reads "Targeted Widow Fighting Back" to read my story.) After that article ran, its author (Jane Friedmann at the StarTribune) received an email on July 20 from a gentleman in eastern Pennsylvania whose father-in-law had recently passed away after a long struggle with cancer. In his email, he wrote, "A few days ago my mother-in-law received a letter from a website called 'engravedcustomgifts' claiming that my father-in-law started a order for two crystal paperweights, one for each of his children, and that he needs to pay to have them shipped. Immediately, I became a little skeptical and when I tried to find contact information, there was nothing on the website nor the letter. So, I decided to search this website, and I happened to stumble on an article that you wrote about a Nina Wallestad... Her account is identical to our situation." So, we now have evidence that the folks at ECG have attempted to perpetuate this fraud on others. And now for today's news: As I have done weekly since this saga began, today I entered engravedcustomgifts.com in my web browser, just to check on the website and see if anything has changed. It no longer exists! Instead, there's a generic "Sorry, the page you're looking for can't be found" message from Homestead.com, a website hosting company. I'm guessing this means that the folks behind EngravedCustomGifts.com have stopped the scam – at least under that name. I wouldn't doubt that they'll create some other website under some other name and continue the scamming, but at least we threw up a few road blocks in their path! Based on the info a friend gathered for me about the ECG website a few months ago, I think they may just be in the process of changing web hosting companies from GoDaddy.com to Homestead.com. I'm going to try to contact someone at Homestead to alert them to this scam. I'm feeling pretty great right now, knowing that I've made life difficult for the scammers behind ECG. But let's all continue to be vigilant and to warn grieving families about scams like this.
He's using a new domain again, this scammer be careful This scammer has already used several sites (giftoko-one. Giftoko-top. Giftoko-biz)
I ordered 3 items as Christmas gifts. One unit had no seeds, I contacted company and was told they would mail new seeds. Picture is my packet of seeds. Contacted two times with no seeds delivered. I am very frustrated and will try to dispute with my bank for refund. Buyer beware!
Very BADd service. Don't order from this site I ordered a cake to be sent to canada Edmonton and they never delivered the cake. I sent messages in whatapp after that no answer. Then I requested a refund and got nothing either. They totally ruined a birthday. NOT HAPPY.
Nobody gives away free iphones or any other phones. The fine print: " Completion of reward offers most often requires a purchase or filing a credit application and being accepted for a financial product such as a credit card or consumer loan" NOTE: this part: You have to make a purchase of get a credit card or consumer loan! ( so much for free) Make sure you read all the fine print on these scam site! More info here: http://www.ibtimes.com/free-iphone-5-scam-how-it-works-how-avoid-it-401832
Scam Site Scam Site The so-called site giftselling.top is a very BIG scam site, they don't have mercy at all please run for your money else you will live to regret it. They claim you will receive 50% off if you buy their fake giftcard, don't believe them. My 25$ usdt just gone like that, nobody can recommend this rubbish site.
This company is a sham! Giftdab posted a picture of a 3-dimensional sunflower wreath, large and puffy. The item arrived in a regular mailing envelope; the wreath is made of felt and it is flat and small. A total waste of my money. Giftdab is refusing to refund my money.
I ordered an item for my daughter's birthday and paid for expedited shipping $12.99. When I did not get a shipping notice the next day, I inquired. I was told it would be AT LEAST two weeks as they "custom produce" the blanket... even though the exact same blanket is sold on multiple other sites. It does not appear to be "custom." The expedited shipping fee is totally worthless
I bought this for my wife and it was way better than I expected. She was so excited when she seen it. I will be purchasing more of these!

This is the second personalized order I have made with this company. They have exceeded my expectations yet again!
Absolutely amazing gift shop. They really made it easy for me being from USA to send a birthday gift to Puerto Plata in Dominican Republic. Customer service is extremely warm, and makes you feel very comfortable ordering. I highly recommend Giftsnideas.com. Order: 021323376, gorgeous teddy bear with flowers.
Purchased a clock from them via Amazon wrong clock received, after a week of emails trying to get it swapped for item ordered, was finally told today it was nothing to do with them, contact Amazon. But wouldn't give Amazon marketplace contact details! Awful company would never use them again, do not buy from this company
I bought flowers and chocolates for a dear friend who was going through a difficult time. It was supposed to be same day delivery. The money was deducted and the gift was never delivered. I could not contact them, the email didn't work. They contact me 3 days after via whatsapp and said there's supplier issues, but it would be delivered within 2-4 days. Still nothing. I wrote them back... nothing. No information. So I am seeking via the bank to get my money back. And advised them I was doing so... naturally I got an instant message back about their suppliers problems again and said no I want a refund. Nothing. It has been over a week and still nothing. Do not use this company. They are spammers.
I received a gift card for $100 and it was issued by giftcard.com. I never used it and when i was going to use it they said declined. So i check on the web site and i had to activate the card. After activating the card it says that the balance was zero because they charged some dormant fees. What a crap. If the card is not active why would charge dormant fees. So basically once someone buys a card the card should be active, you should not have to activate the card. So never by from them. Then i have another card for $100 also not activated and somebody charged $75 for a purchase on ebay. How is that possible if the card is not active.
I was origiinally not satisfied with my order but their customer service was very understanding and corrected the situation for me immediately. The customer service representative was very professional and prompt about rectifying the situation.
I recently purchased a cat cake for my kitten, Amelia; she just had her first birthday and we wanted to do something special for her. I had a fantastic experience with Pampered Paw Gifts! I am beyond impressed and delighted with the entire process, from start to finish. I placed the order a few weeks ago, and it was delivered within 48 hours of Amelia's birthday, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Someone also packed a small mouse toy with the cake, to our surprise. Amelia loves the toy and it was so fun to have something else to give her. The cake is GORGEOUS and it smells good enough that even my husband made a comment about how he wanted some. As soon as we unpacked it, both of our cats ran right to it. (Our other cat is named Ninja, and he's very picky about food, so we weren't sure if he would have any cake, but he LOVED it!) The cake does take a while to thaw out if you put it in the freezer, so I'd recommend you have broth on hand, just in case. I will be telling all of my friends about what a fantastic experience this was and how happy we are with the end result. Don't hesitate to order a cake from them; they made Amelia's first birthday incredibly special. Thank you, Pampered Paw Gifts!
I recently purchased over $1000 in egift cards to various companies in coordination with my upromise account. Somehow come into my inbox hours later others the following day. I purchased from Lowe's chipotle IHOP Domino's Wayfare and fruit bouquets. I have redeemed them online as well as in person and they have all worked. I have saved over $176 in conjunction with Upromise special running now. If you send them as gifts you have to make sure to click on the links open it up and hit the 'send as gift' button otherwise the recipient will not be able to open it.
Scratch the code, right off the gift card can't read it. Customer service is useless they give you a number to the vendor then the vendor gives you the number back to the customer service it's a big circle jerk GrubHub owes me $25 they don't want to make it right.
I recently ordered from them and was really surprised by the quality of the items. I love the purse, it's the best one I have ever bought. Very well made. In the past I have paid four and five times that amount on a purse, that would last only two or three weeks. The handles would rip and fray. None of that has occurred with my Carol Wright Gifts purse. It still looks great after two months of use. I wish the items were shipped a little faster though.
I have ordered a cake and flowers in Hyderabad for midnight, they have delivered exactly at 12 with quality flowers and cake. I liked the site very much, thanks to customer service, they called me at 12.05 that your order is delivered.
Yammy cake. My friends were so happy with the delicious chocolates. Thanks a lot Gifts To India for such a wonderful service.
Amazing Service! I had ordered roses and a chocolate combo for this valentine's day for my love who is living in Los Angeles, California. The products quality is good. Thank you so much for sending happiness to my partner through your amazing products.
