there is no shipping charge for gift certificates. you will be charged for the amount of your gift certificate, although it will not appear in the 'total' line. then, please enter the address of the recipient (with their name) in the deliver to box, and your billing info in the 'billing info' box....so that we'll know who to make it out to and where to send it! all gift certificates are valid for three months from issue date and make a GREAT holiday gift!
