Bulk Order 5% Discounts
Want another 5% off? Ask about bulk ordering. If your order contains more than 100 items, ask before you place your order. Not only can we let you know if the number of items you're wanting are in stock, but you can then get your voucher for an additional 5% off which you can use when you place your order.
This information is now provided in the GiftsForYou.Biz FAQ.

Product Catalogs
Recently, a visitor asked if there were any catalogs available on the GiftsForYou.Biz web site. No e-mail address was provided in the request, but I figured this would be a good place to post the answer anyway so that others could benefit from the knowledge (especially if you use the WatchThatPage.com service by clicking the button at the top of this page).
The simple answer is that there are catalogs available. However, although there is no profit in selling them, the money it costs to avoid a notable loss in the process usually inhibits a customer from actually purchasing them in the first place. What that means is, these catalogs are available at a cost to GiftsForYou.Biz, which has to be passed along to the customer in order to avoid GiftsForYou.Biz from losing money in the transaction.
One additional note on the product catalogs is that they only cover the non-crystal products (items from the main GiftsForYou.Biz catalog site). Crystal items, those items that begin with CF, and Optical Laser Crystals are not included in these catalogs, as they come from other vendors who do not carry printed catalogs.
To get to the non-crystal product catalogs yourself, simply do a search for "catalog".

P.O. Boxes (Post Office Boxes)
New in the Shipping section of the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
- Orders cannot be delivered to P.O. Boxes.
With the exception of Crystal Figurines (items beginning with "CF") and Optical Laser Crystal items, please supply a valid street address for delivery. Delivery addresses are validated using either Yahoo! Maps or MapQuest as necessary. Payment addresses (if paying by credit card) should reflect the same address as the billing address on file for the credit card.
In addition, the top navigation menu of the FAQ has been adjusted slightly so that the links to shipping sections are more distinguished.

New Clear Optical Crystals Added
If you haven't seen yet, there are now 39 products listed in the clear optical laser crystal catalog.
The warning of these crystals going away has also been removed. The vendor for these crystals found a new distributor and is, for now, going to continue stocking them. I think this is awesome because these crystals are really, really great. I love them!

Shipping Zones and Delivery Times - Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
The Shipping Zones and Delivery Times section of the FAQ has been updated. It now differentiates between contiguous and non-contiguous deliveries.
Contiguous represents the 48 contiguous states within the U.S.
Non-contiguous represents Alaska and Hawaii, as well as Canada.
The biggest update has been with non-contiguous deliveries. You'll now find a more realistic delivery schedule for shipments based on warehouse requirements and carrier schedules. Although there will be instances in which delivery times could be quicker, orders to non-contiguous locations should typically arrive between 10 and 22 business days.
Note: A business day is equal to a normal working weekday, and depends on which carrier is being used to deliver your order.
Both Shipping Zones and Delivery Times as well as Shipping Methods / Costs sections are also reflected in the Required Reading information (a required checkbox at the bottom of the billing/delivery information checkout page indicating the shipping section of the FAQ has been read and understood).

Shipping Methods / Costs - Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
The Shipping Methods / Costs section of the FAQ has been updated and now outlines the delivery costs in detail based on the delivery method.
Contiguous represents the 48 contiguous states within the U.S. Non-contiguous represents Alaska and Hawaii, as well as Canada.
There are 3 delivery methods:
- 1. Contiguous - Standard
- option # 3 on the shopping cart: Canada/Alaska/Hawaii
2. Contiguous - Rush
- option # 2 on the shopping cart: Rush Shipping - 3-4 Days
3. Non-Contiguous - Standard
- option # 1 on the shopping cart: Free Shipping Over 25 (representing free shipping for orders totalling over $25)
There is no rush delivery method for orders to non-contiguous locations.
The following is impressed in two locations within the FAQ:
Orders shipped outside the 48 contiguous U.S. states or Canada
Please use shipping option # 1 (Canada/Alaska/Hawaii), else your order will require modifications prior to processing.
The update now also outlines the overall GiftsForYou.Biz site structure. This may be moved (or copied) to another location later, but for now it works and exists. The basic premise of GiftsForYou.Biz is that there are 3 catalogs; each with its own style and offerings.
- Non-Crystal Items
Main GiftsForYou.Biz Site
Crystal Figurines (items beginning with CF)

Required Reading - Shipping Zones and Delivery Times
Prior to ordering, all orders now require a checkbox to be checked on the delivery info page (near the bottom of the page) that will indicate the orderer (that would hopefully be you) has read and understood the "Shipping Zones and Delivery Times" section of the "FAQ / Ordering Info" page.
The checkbox message states:
Please indicate you understand the approximate delivery time for your order [ FAQ / Shipping Info ]. Suspicious info may require a follow-up phone call.
And we're not born all-knowledgeable, therefore, in the case you didn't already know, FAQ stands for "Frequently Asked Questions"

GiftsForYou.Biz Site - Main Page Streamline
Just a quick note to let you know that the main GiftsForYou.Biz page has been streamlined a bit.
- The "Meet the Owner" link has been moved to the "About Us" page.
- Both the "iWatchDog" and "ChildSafe" links have been moved to the "Privacy" page.
- The "Internet Safety/Kids" link has also been moved to the "Privacy" page.
In addition, the partner pages have also been streamlined. The "Top Link List" for each page has been removed, so that visitors can concentrate on the information within the pages, especially the main link page.
Hopefully these changes will enhance the site. And as always, please feel free to submit your feedback via the "Crystal Community" page.
