3. When orders are placed with Gift Tree
Gift Tree offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our location in the United States. All orders are sold on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to acceptance and availability. As there is a delay between the time when your order is placed and the time when your order is accepted by us, the stock position relating to particular products may change during this time. If a product you have ordered becomes out of stock before we accept your order, we will notify you as soon as possible, and we will happily refund* by way of store credit to your Gift Tree Account or exchange it with a similar product (see Section 9 (a) Returns & Exchanges). Please be aware that products in your shopping basket are not classed as sold until payment has been approved, and may be purchased by other customers within that time.
Gift Tree is not responsible for any delays, costs, or losses resulting either directly or indirectly from matters not under its control, including without limitation, due to no destination customs clearance within the USA or caused by the shipping company.

Once your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. The email is just a confirmation that we have received it; it has not yet been processed. Upon acceptance of your order with Gift Tree, we will then email confirmation that your order has been processed and dispatched.
We aim to dispatch all orders within 3 business days from the date you placed the order (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and U.S. Public Holidays). Please be advised, we will also close for periods of time over the Christmas holidays every year. We will post relevant dates on our website regarding when your order will be processed.

We may also refuse to accept a transaction for any reason and at any time at our sole discretion.
