Drop Ship Program Overview |
Application:
To apply for enrollment in GiftTree's Drop Ship Program, please fill out the online application form. After the application has been submitted, you will receive an email containing our Reseller Agreement. The Reseller Agreement must be signed and returned to GiftTree before a new account is activated.
Enrollment:
Once GiftTree receives your completed Reseller Agreement, your Reseller account will be activated. New Reseller accounts can often be established the same day. There is a one time $49.95 enrollment fee that will be charged at the time the account is activated. GiftTree does not charge any additional annual or monthly maintenance fees.
Pricing:
GiftTree resellers receive a 20% discount off listed retail price. Resellers may determine their own selling prices on all warehouse gift baskets.
Order Processing:
Using a username and password, resellers place orders on our secure website at http://dropship.gifttree.com/. If billing information is stored, it is automatically displayed at checkout to prevent frequently re-entering information. As volume permits, there may be automated alternatives to pass orders.
Customer Care:
GiftTree resellers are important to us. We have dedicated customer care representatives ready to assist our resellers with any order questions or concerns.
Product Images & Descriptions:
Approved resellers are encouraged to use our product images while participating in the program. The images are available from the reseller website. Although GiftTree recommends using provided product descriptions, resellers may choose to write unique descriptions. All descriptions MUST be accurate.

Shipping Prices:
GiftTree utilizes flat-rate shipping costs. When logged into the reseller website, resellers have access to shipping costs per product.
Hand-delivered Products:
Balloons, fruit baskets, and several wine and gourmet baskets are hand-delivered products. Hand delivered products can often be delivered the same day. Wine delivery restrictions are based on zip code and are handled individually if restrictions hinder a specific order. Hand-delivered items will vary by season, availability, and delivery location but will always be filled to value. (Holiday cut-off times may change)
Alcohol Shipping Restrictions:
An adult signature is required for all deliveries containing alcohol. Some states restrict shipments containing alcohol. GiftTree evaluates destination restrictions and ships to states that are consistently open to wine shipments.
Product Updates:
All resellers are included in GiftTree's product update email distribution list. When a product is changed, resellers will receive an email describing the changes. GiftTree expects all resellers to keep product offerings current and accurate.
Product Packaging:
Currently, all orders are shipped in standard GiftTree boxes. Gift card messages (150 character max recommended, 500 character max) are printed on a gift card and attached to the exterior of the box. A limited number of products have the card message printed on the shipping label itself. The shipping label includes GiftTree's warehouse address for return shipments and a 2" x 4" area that reads "A gift from:" followed by your website address.
