Drop Ship Order

1234Shine — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:37:43 GMT

If I place an order and want to have it drop shipped to a 3rd party, I suppose all I need to do is entering the name/address under to "ship to" section, right? I also have 3 more questions:

1. Will the gift recipient know it is from me?

2. Is there a way I can add a personal note to the gift recipient?

3. Is it possible not to let the recipient know the pricing?

Hi! You have the option to include a personal note so they’ll know it’s from you. If I remember correctly, you can choose to have the invoice sent to you, so they don’t receive anything. I placed an order to be delivered elsewhere a couple of years ago, and if my memory serves me right, it arrived without any note or invoice. In fact, it was better that way since it was a gift, and they couldn’t see the price.

@Mariholly

I suppose what you saying is the recipient will not receive any paperwork in the package for drop ship order, right? So, if I enter a personal note, will they get it, in what form, and will there be price info on that? On the other hand, if I don't enter a note, will the recipient know I am the person buying that? Well. It will be nice if someone from Zazzle can shed some light on this... Shouldn't there be some kind of standard procedure info out there already about drop ship that we can just look up to?

I think "drop shipping" has a connotation that doesn't apply to your situation so I was initially confused by your post. You just want to order something and have it sent to an address not your own, as a gift. I did that once or twice to send something to my niece but it was a while ago and I have no idea what kind of papers/info might have been in the package.

@ColsCreations

Thanks for the reply. Bottom line is:

- I'd like to enter a personal note

- I don't want my gift recipient see price info

Is that possible, dear Zazzle or anyone else?

@1234Shine

I'm sorry, but I don't remember all the details. I do remember we took special care to ensure the price wasn't included, as we made a mistake with that last time. I'm sending you a screenshot of the order, although I had to blur most of it. You'll see it indicates it's a gift, and below that, the message (it's in Spanish because we're Spanish and were sending it to Florida). I think they received a simple printed card, but I can't remember for sure. Contact Zazzle directly in private; that will be the best for your peace of mind.

Sometimes it takes a long time to get a Zazzle response in the forum. If you need this info sooner, I recommend sending Zazzle Customer Care a chat message asking your questions, or give them a call during their normal business hours. They should be able to answer your questions.
