No gift goes to waste

When customers ask us to dispose of inventory we store for them, we work with them on donating items to our food bank and charity partners instead of adding to landfill.

"There's the two ends of sustainability: where we're sourcing from and where we're shipping. Having a gifting partner that has warehouses everywhere we're shipping to and can source locally cuts down our carbon footprint. That was a big selling point for us."
