When I inquired about gift cards several weeks ago, I had excellent customer service to help me know how to order online. Because the gift cards are available electronically as soon as you order them, I waited until the day that I needed the item to order it. As soon as I checked out online, I received the email containing the gift card and was able to pass it on to its intended recipients with no problems at all. Very easy process, highly recommend this method of ordering if you need a wonderful gift, immediately.
