Why set up a Gift Registry?
A gift registry can help you avoid unwanted and duplicate gifts, and makes it convenient for your friends to buy you the perfect gift.
I noticed that this gift registry is "Powered by eWish". What does that mean?
It means that the company eWish is operating this gift registry for your merchant. eWish are one of the leading gift registry operators in the country and have been creating and operating gift registry systems since 1999.
The eWish system takes care of all the key gift registry functions, everything from creating and updating the gift list to accepting and routing gift orders to your merchant for delivery. By using eWish, we save the expense and time of maintaining our own system, which means we can devote more resources to merchandising and service.

Purchasing Gifts
How do I let my friends know where I am registered?
There are a variety of different way to let your friends know about your registry. The traditional approach is through word of mouth. Some customers may also use a registry card or print a link on their invitation. You can also use our E-Notification system to send an email letting them know about the registry.
A more subtle approach is to use the on-line RSVP system or the photo album. Once your friends are on the RSVP page or the Photo Album then they are already inside your registry.
How do my friends access my registry?
The easiest way is to search for your registry by name. You can find the Registry Search box at www.eWish.com or on your merchant's website.
Guests may contact us by email at sales@bestwishes.net or phone at 800-330-7688.
Do you accept checks?
Unfortunately, no. We do accept paypal.
Gift Delivery
When will I receive my gifts?
Shipping times depends on the merchant and the product. When a gift is purchased from the registry, we automatically send it to the merchant. Most merchants will notify you via email if the gift is delayed and give you the opportunity to cancel the order or substitute something else if you do not want to wait. If you do not receive the gift within the time frame that you expect, please contact the merchant by contacting them by email at sales@bestwishes.net or phone at 800-330-7688.
How do I return an unwanted gift?
Please see our return policy. We will try to stop duplicate gifts before they are shipped. If you know you are registering for a gift you do not want, please let us know before hand and we can discretely handle it.

Please let us know immediately when an item has arrived broken, we need this information to properly make a claim with UPS. If too much time has alloted and the breakage has not been reported, we may be unable to claim, making it hard for us to provide you with a replacement. If you cannot let us know immediately, please contact us within 10 days of receiving the broken shipment. We can not accept in any way claims for breakage or shortage more than 30 days after the date of delivery.
Photo Album

Does your system accept TIF files?
No.
What resolutions should I use for my uploaded pictures?
For best performance we suggest keeping your image smaller than 600x400 pixels. The resolution should be 72 dpi. You can upload bigger files but they won't improve resolution since our system automatically reformats the picture for the computer screen. It will just increase your upload and download times.
How do I change the resolution/image size of my pictures?
You'll need to use a photo processing software. If you don't have one, there are many free ones out there. Check google or download.com for a listing.
Do you have a limit on how many pictures I can keep?
Yes, we have a limit of 50 pictures or 2 megabytes, which ever comes first.

Yes, many photo labs now offer picture scanning services.
