Christmas Order Information
Thank you for choosing Month Club Store for your Christmas gift giving. The following information describes how we process Christmas orders. If you have a special request or additional questions, let us know.
Holiday Gift Notifications
Shipments - Keeping the Gift a Surprise - All Christmas shipments and notifications will be delivered with the intent of keeping the gift a surprise for the recipient. The return address will list the delivery as from "MCS" rather then "Month Club Store" and a "Don't Open Till..." message will be placed prominently on the delivery.
December start month: When we receive an order on or before December 15th with a holiday greeting (your personalized message) and a December start month, the gift message will be delivered with the initial month's package between the 16th and the 24th unless you instruct us otherwise (for instance - you may wish us to send the greeting earlier for the start of Hanukkah (December 11th) - the first package would still ship later).
January start month: When we receive an order with a holiday greeting (your personalized message) and a January start month, gift notifications will be sent to the recipient prior to the 25th with a note introducing the gift and stating that their monthly shipments will begin in January of 2009. For orders placed earlier, we will hold these greetings until the week of the 14th so that they arrive closer to Christamas (unless you instruct us otherwise).
Personalized gift cards for orders received with a non-holiday personalized message (such as birthday, wedding, thank you, etc.) will be sent immediately (as usual). Orders received with no personalized message (for instance - if you are purchasing for yourself) will not receive a greeting.
