Things to remember before you begin
Important things to think about
Always check the return policy Check the cutoff date for Christmas delivery (or any
other time of the year) Remember that even online special services sometimes
take longer i.e. engraving, monogramming, or personalizing
Many online retailers allow you to ship directly to the recipient. This can be a great time and postage saver, but the company will most likely charge extra for wrapping and/or a card. Or they may not provide that service at all.
