DELIVERY

What different types of delivery are possible?

  • Post: physical cards are delivered by post between 2 and 5 working days after receipt of payment
  • By email: digital cards are sent by email (to be downloaded in PDF format or as a mobile version) within 24 hours of the order
  • For download: digital cards are sent as a download link in a CSV file. The recipient receives a URL link that they can click on to display their gift card in PDF format. Orders are sent within 24 hours to the personal area of the person who placed the order.

What is the difference between delivery by email and for download?

If you want to receive your cards by email, you will receive an email allowing you to download the cards one by one on a landing page. If you choose the download option, you will receive a CSV file containing URLs to the gift cards. This means that you can simply integrate the URLs into the emails you send to your employees.

I would like to buy a large number of gift cards. What is the best way to send them to me?

You should either choose delivery by post for physical cards or the download option for digital cards. Emailing is not suitable for large numbers of cards as each card has to be downloaded individually.

Do I have to pay postage for gift cards?

For physical cards sent by post, the postage costs are CHF 1.21 excluding VAT for less than 5 cards and CHF 8.36 excluding VAT for 5 cards or more. There are no postage costs for digital cards sent for download or by email.

Who can I send the gift cards to by post?

You can send them to the address of your choice or to one or more final recipients.

Is it possible to send cards directly to several recipients?

Yes, this is possible. When selecting the delivery address, select “send to several final recipients”. Download the CSV template provided and enter the addresses of the final recipients. Please do not change the CSV format or the column headings. Once you have completed the template, please upload it back onto the site. The cards will be sent directly to the addresses indicated.

Can I have the gift cards sent to the company address?

Yes, this option will be offered to you when finalising the delivery.

I work from home. Can I have the gift cards delivered to my home?

Yes, of course, you can choose the delivery address of your choice. Under “My account”, you can enter several delivery addresses for future orders in the “Address database” section.

Will my gift cards be sent to me on receipt of payment or as soon as I have placed my order?

If you choose the option of advance payment by bank transfer or payment by credit card, the order will only be sent once payment has been received. In the case of payment by invoice, the order will be sent to you immediately and you will have 30 days to pay the invoice.

How can I retrieve my digital cards via the email option?

You will receive an email with a link to the landing page where you can download the gift cards you ordered one by one. This will allow you to:

  • Save the card to a smartphone “wallet”
  • Or download it in PDF format and print it out

How can I retrieve my digital cards sent for download?

A table containing the URLs to all your gift cards will be available in your personal area under “My orders”, “order details and activation”. There will then be a “download” button that will allow you to access the CSV file.

Can I personalise the message sent to my employees when I choose digital cards by email?

No, this is a standard automated email. If you wish to personalise your message, please select the upload mode so that you can send the message of your choice from your personal email account and include the links to the digital gift cards.

What is the download option?

If you select the download option, you will receive a CSV file with all the URL links to the gift cards in your personal area within 24 hours. Simply embed a URL link in an email and send it from your email account to the recipient of your choice. The person receiving the link should click on it to download the digital gift card in pdf format. The gift card does not need to be printed out and can be presented at the checkout on a phone. Of course, the card can also still be used on manor.ch.
