Making a purchase through The Engraved Gifts Company could not be safer or easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.  Our whole site and payment gateway is fully encrypted to the highest global standards and is SSL certified with the green padlock in the web browser that gives you 100% confidence that your transaction is secure and that your personal data is protected to the highest of standards. 

We accept all major credit and debit cards. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to US dollars or your own currency.

You will receive an order confirmation on screen once your order has been placed that can be saved or printed. This is to indicate that we have received your order, but does not indicate that a contract exists between us. Acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, will be indicated when we send you the receipt of payment. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or in the unlikely event that we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the unlikely case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Engraved Gifts:

Our professional engravers will use their skills to ensure that the layout of any engraved text and or images are presented in the best possible way.

We will not be held responsible for any miss-spelling; all gifts will be engraved using the selected font and inscriptions provided to us by you through the web-site.

If any images are to be engraved, our engravers may need to remove backgrounds from the picture to create the best possible output. Again our highly skilled engravers will work to ensure that you have the best possible picture. Any pictures will need to be supplied in jpeg format.

When browsing an image to upload to us from your computer, you must be careful that it does not infringe anyone else's copyright or other rights.

The Engraved Gifts Company will assume that you the buyer/customer has obtained any necessary copyright permission for all images,photos and logos sent to us for engraving purposes.

On some of our items you are not able to select the font type, the item will notify you of this and show a sample of the font on the image section of the site. This is mainly applicable to glassware and ceramic items like cups and plates.
