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)
Crystal Figurines Catalog / Main GiftsForYou.Biz Site
Clear Optical Laser Crystals
Optical Laser Crystal Catalog

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"
