Nuts and Bolts: In-Store Pick Up Update

Nuts & Bolts – In-Store Pick Up Update

GCU’s In-Store pickup option has been a great solution for shoppers who need their cards on the same day or next day.  A great option for last minute shoppers. These orders were printed and picked up in the stores’ photo departments. The majority of GCU’s In-Store pickup locations were Target stores. Unfortunately most Target locations have closed their photo departments.

Since June of 2020, GCU has no longer offered In-Store Pickup. We are in development with another partner to offer this service and expect to have it operational later this year, 2021.   In the interim, shoppers can upgrade their shipping options for cards mailed back to them with blank envelopes.  Cards mailed directly to recipients are not eligible for upgraded shipping.

 When communicating with shoppers, please do not recommend in-store pickup if they are in a rush but instead expedited shipping. Thank you for your understanding.
