  What is GreetingCards.com? Top  

GreetingCards.com is an online greeting card service. You can send and receive thousands of animated greeting cards through your computer using the Internet and standard email.

  What do I need to use your service? Top  

You just need a PC and an email account to send or receive cards. If you do not have an email account then you can signup for one at any of the popular free email services such as Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com.

  I received a card from a friend, how do I open it? Top  

There should be a link in the email you received about your card. To view your card, just click on this link.

If you are having trouble clicking on this link, you can try cutting and pasting it into the "Address" box of your web-browser.

If this will not work, there should be a "Pickup ID" mentioned inside the email. Go to http://www.greetingcards.com/pickup/ and then enter the Pickup Code into the box to view your card.

  How long will it take for my greeting to arrive? Top  

Greeting cards sent with a delivery date of "Today" will be sent pretty quickly. Cards that are chosen to be delivered on a future date will be sent around 7 AM EST on that day. This is done to avoid the flood of junk mail that usually arrives during the night hours.

  The site is warning me that the email address I entered may not be valid... why is this? Top  

When you enter an email address we run some simple checks on it to try and tell if it is valid before you send your card. Usually this warning refers to a problem with the section after the "@" in the address. You should double check that you have entered this correctly. Over 10% of greeting cards never reach their destination due to simple address errors.

  I sent a card but it was never received or I never received a notice that the card was sent! Top  

There are many reasons an email may not have arrived...

* You may have accidently mistyped one of the email addresses in the card. Over 10% of greeting cards sent have mistyped email addresses. If you received the confirmation notice that your card was sent, you can double check the receivers address in that notice.

* The receiver may have not recognized the email and may have deleted it. With the huge volume of junk mail people receive daily, sometimes people delete our messages by accident. We do take many precautions to make sure that our mail is as clean looking and as visible to the receiver as possible to avoid this. You can help by being sure to enter both yours and the receivers first and last names when sending the card. This makes the card more noticable to the receiver.

* There may have been a network problem or the remote side may have delayed or blocked our message due to a technical problem out of our control. If the remote site was having problems or there was a problem with the receivers account, for example it may be "out of spaces" (the receiver may not have any more room in their mailbox to receive messages), the card notice may be lost.

* The remote webserver may have marked our email as spam and placed it into a "Junk" or "Spam" folder on the receivers side. This is a less common situation as we take many precautions and work directly with most major providers to assure that this does not happen. Unfortunatley however it can still happen in certain situations. You should ask the person to check any Junk mail folders they may have in their account.

If the intended receiver did not receive your card, but you received the notice that it was sent, you can forward them your notice or give them the pickup ID that you were given so they may view the card.
