What to Do When a Selected Gift Is Out of Stock
This article explains what happens when a selected gift is out of stock and what replacement options recipients are offered.
What options will I be offered if my selected gift is out of stock?
You will be offered replacement options and the ability to choose an alternative item. Specifically, recipients are given:
- Option 1: Choose a new item from the same collection via a provided link.
- Option 2: Choose from one of the available alternative gifts presented by the sender.
How do I select a replacement gift?
You select a replacement by following the link(s) provided by the care team:
- Open the link to the original gift collection to pick a different item from that collection.
- Or review the alternative gift options sent and choose one of those replacements. The care team will send the link(s) and handle the replacement once you indicate your choice.
Will I receive anything to compensate for the inconvenience?
Yes. A token will be provided in addition to the replacement options:
- You will receive one link to the original gift collection and a second link that is a token from the care team to make up for the experience.
What will the care team do on my behalf?
The care team will:
- Notify you if an item is out of stock and present replacement options.
- Send links so you can select a new item or accept an alternative gift.
- Arrange for the replacement to be sent once you make your selection.
What should I do if I haven't received an update about an out-of-stock item?
If you discover an item is out of stock and have not yet been contacted, use the provided replacement links when they arrive; the care team will follow up with replacement options and compensation token links and will arrange the replacement after you choose.
Troubleshooting: What if the replacement process doesn't proceed?
- Respond to the replacement links or the care team’s message with your selection so they can process the replacement.
- If you receive multiple links, use the link that corresponds to the choice you prefer (collection link to pick a different item, or alternative-item link to accept a suggested replacement).
Conclusion When an item is out of stock, recipients are offered a choice to pick a new item from the same collection or accept an alternative gift; the care team provides the necessary links (including a compensation token link) and arranges the replacement after you make your selection.
