How can I handle a request to hand deliver a gift certificate for a teacher?

[Lisa2Boys]

I know that Gift Certificates are supposed to be mailed directly to the person receiving them, but I have a person wanting to hand deliver the gift certificate. It is for her son's teacher. Her son wants to hand deliver the gift certificate. How should I do this?

Should I key in the Gift Certificate with the mailing address of the purchaser but with the recipients name so that the purchaser receives it?

Is this possible?

Please help!:

Yes, it's possible. I've done the same thing several times. The gift certificate will come with a catalog. The recipient will fill in address information on the certificate itself.

In this situation, it would be best to have the purchaser's address as the mailing address for the gift certificate. This way, the purchaser will receive the actual physical gift certificate and can then hand deliver it to the teacher. However, you can still include the recipient's name on the gift certificate so that it is personalized for the teacher. This way, the purchaser can still give it to the teacher in person, but the certificate will be sent to the purchaser's address. If the purchaser prefers to have the gift certificate mailed directly to the teacher, you can still include the recipient's name on the certificate and have the purchaser's address as the billing address. This way, the purchaser will receive the invoice and the teacher will receive the gift certificate.It is important to communicate with the purchaser and clarify their preferences before processing the gift certificate. This way, you can ensure that the gift certificate is delivered in the desired manner.
