Website is easy and straightforward to use.
Caters for all price ranges people can afford to give.
Bought a card gift to feed a child for a month in memory of my dad. Came in a few days, in the post.
He would have loved that.

I have enjoyed my sponsorship but in the past year or so, the experience has been poor, especially the way my sponsorship has ended. Very abrupt and in my opinion uncaring. A very short letter and no final picture. When I signed up I thought it was a lifelong commitment, I was wrong.

Not their forte

Previously I was able to preview the card before sending, now you can't. If it is for a specific date like a birthday, you cannot guarantee that it will be delivered on time.
I decided to go with an e card to guarantee it would arrive within 24 hours as stated. Wrong. I ordered it on a Thursday and it was sent the following Tuesday!
I love World Vision and the work they do, but gift cards are not their forte.

Brought an e mail gift for friend

Brought an e mail gift for friend, when trying to print, somehow it got lost. One friendly, helpful phone call, and we were back on track. My elderly friend was highly delighted with her gift which was accompanied with lovely special ginger biscuits and a cup of coffee together.
Thank you.

Delayed e-card

Took over 3 days to receive an e-card. I only chose this option because I needed it quickly and website stated delivery would be within 24 hrs.

Super service!

The card arrived promptly and when I realised that I had made a mistake when ordering I was kindly sent a replacement. The recipients were really pleased with it.

My order arrived quickly

My order arrived quickly. One thing which puzzled me. I ordered 3 footballs as a gift for my cousin.
Instead if 1 card saying 3 footballs had been bought, 3 cards arrived.

Quick, Easy & a Great Cause

I bought a World Vision Gift Card to provide books for after school classes as a gift for a friend who said that she didn't want Any birthday presents.
The card I chose was lovely, the message exactly as I wrote it and delivery was just as promised.
ps my friend absolutely Loved the idea and I was forgiven :)
