A truly unique

|
I've searched the internet long and hard to find such a service, and I have at last found a company based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The company is called Gourmet Station. Established in 1997 by Donna Lynes-Miller, Gourmet Station is building quite a reputation for itself with its unique, international menu firmly founded on quality and impeccable service. Gourmet Station is now a major player in the USA market for deep chilled gourmet food gifts.
Below, I share with you some important points, tips and advice to consider and look for when choosing a supplier for your next mail order food gift.
Gift Packaging
Not only is it important for the gift to arrive beautifully packaged, but it must also arrive temperature controlled and undamaged. This means a sturdy, very well insulated carton which has some means of temperature control - usually either dry ice or frozen gel packs.
Delivery
Make sure that the supplier uses a reputable shipper such as DHL or UPS and that you know EXACTLY what the delivery charges are. And try to plan ahead a little as it's generally less expensive to choose a delivery date further in advance.Always make sure that your recipient is aware when the gift is coming as it will need to be refrigerated as soon after delivery as possible.
Service
It's almost impossible to assess the quality of service until you buy the product! But the offer of a full satisfaction guarantee suggests an organization that takes customer service seriously. Get a "feel" for the organization by searching its site for independent reviews and/or customer reviews. Any business that enjoys great customer feedback is likely to publish it!
Guarantee
Any reputable supplier should offer a full money back guarantee if either you or the recipient are not completely satisfied with the products and/or service. At Gourmet Station for example, they offer a solid, no quibble guarantee with a full refund or reship offer.
Gift Certificates
How about this for a gourmet food gift idea - send a beautifully presented and elegant Gift Certificate with your personal message included. But do check for redemption dates - ideally, as in the case of Gourmet Station, they should be honored at any time between purchase and redemption.
Some companies even offer a Gift Certificate by Email option - perfect for that last minute (almost forgotten!) gift!
Ease of Ordering
Check out the ordering procedure for ease of use. Can the entire process be completed online? Do they accept all major credit cards and Paypal? Or if you prefer to order by telephone, do they offer that service?
And finally for something EXTRA SPECIAL............

Corporate Gifts
Delivered gourmet food gifts or indeed gift certificates are a great idea for innovative companies seeking:- Unique, upscale client gifts
- Employee rewards
- Sales promotions
This is a very effective way to create a lasting impression with your clients and employees and a memorable bond is created between giver and receiver. It's a great way of saying "thank you"!
For me, a beautifully packaged, expertly prepared, complete dinner menu delivered to the door is the perfect gourmet food gift idea! It makes an ideal gift for the time stretched, or indeed, skill stretched individual who loves fine dining at home.
