Getting the Timing Right
- Galentine’s Day is February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, which is one of the busiest shipping weeks of the year.
- Check the delivery date for each address at checkout, not just the “fast shipping” label.
- Personalized items take longer. Order engraved or custom gifts at least two to three weeks ahead.
- Out of time? A digital gift card or subscription can be delivered by email on the day.
Before You Buy
- Keep the tone celebratory.
- Match her sense of humor.
- Check the current price and the delivery date at checkout.
