Orders Defined Gift Marketing Alliance has two (2) order classifications, drop-ship orders and dealer orders.

Drop-ship orders are defined as orders placed by a GMA member (the retailer) shipping directly to a 3rd party (consumer). GMA guarantees customer satisfaction on all drop-ship orders. If the recipient is not satisfied with their order we will replace it promptly or issue credit. If a full refund is demanded, we may at our discretion, ask that the item be returned (at no cost to the recipient).

Due to the perishable nature of all our gift selections, discrepancies please eported within (3) business days of receipt. Drop ship orders placed by 12:00 noon EST can be shipped the same day. Drop-ship orders place after 12:00 noon EST ship the next business day. Gift Marketing Alliance reserves the right to alter the cut-off time for same day shipping during peak holidays.

Dealer orders are defined as orders placed by a GMA member (the retailer) shipping directly to their location. There is a $225 minimum order requirement. Dealer orders are custom packed; we do not require items to be purchased "by the case." Dealer orders are shipped "Best Way" and all freight charges are F.O.B. New York. Shipping charges for bulk orders are significantly lower on a per item basis. Currently, the only items we ship in bulk are gift baskets.

Once a bulk order leaves our dock, the transportation company becomes responsible. Members should inspect all shipments upon arrival and note damages on the shipping papers before signing. Members should alert GMA immediately of any damage. If an inspection is required, GMA will assist the member in following proper procedure.

Dealer orders typically ship from our warehouse within 3 days from the date the order was placed. Dealer orders may be suspended during holiday peaks to reserve capacity for drop-shipments.
