At LuxyList, our unique gifting process begins when a Gifter purchases a gift from a list. We then use these funds to purchase the chosen gift, acting as a thoughtful and personal intermediary between the Gifter and the Lister.
The price initially paid for a gift on LuxyList includes the amount set by the Lister, along with our standard fees. It's important to note, though, that prices may vary due to factors such as changes in vendor pricing, applicable taxes, and shipping fees.
Understanding Total Available Amount
When a gift is purchased, the total amount available for the order includes:
- The item value paid by the gifter
- Our estimated shipping charge
- Our estimated taxes based on your location
This combined total is what we have available to complete the purchase at checkout.
If the actual checkout total (item + shipping + taxes) from the merchant is higher than our available amount:
- For differences under $30 USD, we'll automatically deduct the additional amount from your LuxyCredit balance to complete the order
- Example: If a gifter pays $100 for an item, and we add $15 estimated shipping and $8 estimated taxes, we have $123 total available to complete the purchase. If the merchant's checkout total is $128, we would deduct $5 plus our service fee from your LuxyCredit balance.
- For differences of $30 USD or more, we'll contact the Gift Recipient before proceeding
Price discrepancies can occur due to:
- Item price increases since adding to your list
- Actual merchant shipping costs exceeding our estimates
- Currency conversion fluctuations
- Tax calculation differences
- For international purchases, currency conversion rates at the time of purchase may also affect the final amount.
To minimize surprises, we recommend checking the merchant's full checkout cost when adding items to ensure the complete checkout total (item + shipping + taxes) aligns with or is less than the value listed on your wishlist"
For Larger Overages or Insufficient LuxyCredits
We will reach out to the Gift Recipient with a few options:
- Use your available LuxyCredits, if enough are in your account.*
- Pay the remaining balance through a provided payment link.*
- Choose to have LuxyCredits issued to your account for the original value of the gift, including shipping, which you can then use to select another item from your list.
*Please note, all purchases and additional balances requested to make the purchase are subject to our standard 15% service fee. This ensures that the gifting process remains smooth and enjoyable for both the Gifter and the Receiver.**
**Also applies to LuxyCredit purchases
Why don't we ask the Gifter for the additional monies?
We truly appreciate the generosity of each Gifter who chooses to purchase a gift from LuxyList. To maintain the spirit of gracious giving and to avoid any awkwardness, we do not request additional funds from the Gifter if the final purchase price exceeds the initially listed amount.
