Link Partners Pages Updated

2008-03-31T22:23:00.003-05:00

The GiftsForYou.Biz Gift-Giving Partner pages have been updated. A couple new links to sites have been added, and quite a few have been removed.

As the owner of GiftsForYou.Biz, I pride myself on providing GiftsForYou.Biz visitors and customers alike with links to other gift-givers, because no one store can provide every gift-seeker with every gift.

And because of this, I personally visit every link partner myself, to verify the sites and the gifts are appropriate, purchasable, and that I would consider purchasing from them myself (if I were looking for something along the lines of the products provided).

However, in the chance that a site has changed it's theme, or in most cases, a site has completely gone away (and perhaps the site name was bought up by a completely different themed site), please let me know immediately via the Customer Service page. I will verify, and if appropriate, have the site removed within 24 hours. Only quality-level gift giving sites are allowed in the GiftsForYou.Biz Link Partners pages.

Thanks!

Customer Appreciation

Comments from an appreciative customer:

Hi,

Thanks so much for getting back to me and for shipping it out so quickly! You certainly are reliable and I look forward to receiving the crystal.

Thanks and have a great holiday season.

Gail

GiftsForYou.Biz appreciates you too!

Christmas Delivery Schedule

2007-12-06T22:57:00.000-06:00

Orders will be accepted up until 11:00 PM CST on the dates mentioned below.

Crystal Figurines Catalog
USPS: Normal: Dec 18 / Rush: Dec 20

Classy Crystal Catalog
USPS: Normal: Dec 18 / Rush: Dec 20

Optical Laser Crystals Catalog
UPS: Normal: Dec 17 / Rush: N/A

These (conservative) dates are guaranteed only in that the shipping services used have claimed that they will get your package delivered on time. However, the burden lies with the shipping service in that neither GiftsForYou.Biz nor it's vendors have any control over shipments that have been shipped.

All closely-timed shipments are discussed with the vendor and very low-risk policies are enforced. Just keep an eye on your e-mail within 2-12 hours after your order is placed: You'll get either a delivery confirmation, or an order status e-mail requesting your input.

All that in mind, GiftsForYou.Biz has never had a package arrive late.

Happy Holidays!!!

Fake E-mail Alert Notice/Info

2007-09-27T09:50:00.000-05:00

In the case you didn't already know, spammers will find a way into your inbox almost any way they can.

One very common way nowadays is to send an e-mail on behalf of someone you already know, or just a common organization found on the internet. GiftsForYou.Biz is not stranger to these 'spoofs'. You are just as likely to receive an e-mail claiming it's from GiftsForYou.Biz as you are next to an e-mail claiming to be from Bank of America, PayPal, or eBay.

Rest assured, GiftsForYou.Biz is no more sending these spams any more than Citizen's Bank or KDC-Info. As a matter of fact, if you examine the headers of the e-mail using your e-mail software, you will find the actual IP address of where the e-mail came from. And if you look up that IP, you will find it's probably not even from the same Country as the business it claims to be from. If you sign up for a free account with SpamCop.Net, you can paste the header contents into a field and see all the true information regarding that e-mail.

Most good IP-filtering software should examine this originating IP rather than the "From:" address. I, as owner of GiftsForYou.Biz, use and encourage black-list filters from companies such as Spamhaus. Spamhaus allows you to tell certain mail software to check its current list of offending IP addresses using feeds such as sbl.spamhaus.org, zen.spamhaus.org, or sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.

Here are a couple articles direct from this expert source that might help with protecting yourself (or your computer, rather).

How can I use the Spamhaus zones (ZEN or SBL, XBL, PBL) if I don't run my own mail server (e.g., I only use Outlook or I'd prefer to have a program that will stop my e-mail out on the mail server)?

How do I use the SBL?
http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Spamhaus%20SBL#11

The only e-mails you will get from GiftsForYou.Biz are if you're subscribed to The Crystal Connection (GiftsForYou.Biz newsletter), if you make an inquiry via the Customer Service page, or if you place an order (you will get confirmation e-mails).

Link Partners - Less Quantity, More Quality

2007-09-21T23:24:00.000-05:00

GiftsForYou.Biz has streamlined the Link Partner area to include categories that better complement high quality crystal gift giving. If you find a missing category you believe goes with this theme, please suggest it via the GiftsForYou.Biz Answer Box. Our Link Partner area revamp has been awhile coming now, and 'tis the season to make the GiftsForYou.Biz site even easier to find gifts for your loved ones.
