Keep Your Gift A Surprise

Please be aware that, although unlikely, it is possible for the company whose stock you are buying to send mail (dividends, annual reports, W9 etc.) to the shareholder before you have given the gift.  This can happen as early as 1 1/2 weeks from your order date.

If you want to keep your gift a surprise, select "2 Part Delivery" as your Shipping Option AND enter your Surprise Gift Date here.   Here is what happens:

1. 2 Part Delivery - the first part of your order is shipped (leaves Gilbert, Arizona) in 2 business days or less with a color copy of the certificate in place of the real certificate so that you have a realistic and tangible gift to give.  Transit time depends on the shipping method you choose (ie UPS Ground, UPS Next Day etc.).  Remember that the first part of the order is shipped out to the SHIP TO address (entered on an upcoming page) so if the SHIP TO address is the shareholder, consider selecting gift wrap.

2. We DELAY submitting the stock registration paperwork to the transfer agent until the Surprise Date so that no shareholder mail goes to the recipient before you give the gift.  Note that this shipment of the actual stock certificate will be about 2-6 weeks from your Surprise Date and is sent to the shareholder address.

You cannot select a Surprise Date if you choose Normal Delivery.
