There are two types of gift cards, one is a digital gift card and another is a plastic gift card. Digital ones are delivered through email while the plastic gift cards are sent via shipment method. Digital gift cards are sent on your selected date of delivery. There rarely happens any delay in this case. But in the case of plastic gift cards, you will get the cards within 1-2 business days once your gift card is shipped. You will be notified by email with a tracking number. By using the tracking number, you can find the current status of your card.
