About Gift Cards and E-Gift Cards
Q: What is the difference between a Gift Card and an E-Gift Card?
A: The Company Kids Gift Card is a plastic card that can be used for online, catalog and outlet store purchases. An E-Gift Card ("E" signifying electronic) works the same way as the plastic version but it is sent electronically to an e-mail address that the sender specifies when placing the order.
Q: Where can I purchase a Gift Card or E-Gift Card?
A: The Company Kids Gift Card and E-Gift Card can be purchased online and by phone at 1-800-323-8000. You can also purchase our plastic Gift Card at The Company Store's outlet locations.
Q: Where can I send a Gift Card?
A: The Company Kids plastic Gift Cards can be shipped anywhere within the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. If you wish to send someone a Gift Card outside these areas, we recommend you send them our E-Gift Card instead.
Q: Can I purchase a Gift Card/E-Gift Card if I live outside of the United States?
A: Our Gift Cards and E-Gift Cards are sold only in United States currency at this time. If the gift purchaser's home currency is not U.S. dollars, the order for Gift Cards must be placed by telephone only, call 1-800-323-8000. If the gift recipient's home currency is other than U.S. dollars, any balance due on an order must be paid in U.S. Dollars with another payment method. Thereafter any returns made of items purchased with our Gift Cards and E-Gift Cards will be credited in U.S. dollars in the same form of Card or payment originally submitted.

Q: How are Gift Cards sent and what is the shipping cost?

Q: Does the plastic Gift Card arrive in a box and gift wrapped?

Our website does not currently support multiple ship-to addresses. We hope to offer this function on our website in the near future, so check back with us.
Q: If I order a Gift Card and other merchandise to be shipped to the same destination will they arrive in the same package?
A: No. The Gift Card is sent separately from the merchandise in your order.

Shopping with a Gift Card or E-Gift Card

You will also need to provide a credit card to complete your order. Your Gift Card will always be debited first. Your credit card would only be charged if the order total exceeds the amount on your Gift Card.
Q: If my Gift Card has more than enough funds to pay for my purchase, why must I also provide a credit card to complete my order?
