Review for Alternative Gifts International , Wichita, KS, USA
My experience with AGI has been absolutely brilliant. I discovered their website when looking for a christmas 'gift' for my father. Their range of options is fantastic - from varieties of projects to varieties of donation amounts. It was easy to find the perfect gift to suit budget and suit my father. I like that there were environmental and social projects, and that instead of just donating an amount of money, you bought a specific donation: i.e. I bought 100 trees. This way you know where your money is going and you feel like you're contributing more.
AGI is based in America and I was their first international customer (I'm Australian). I experienced difficulties purchasing from their website using my Australian credit card. I emailed AGI, they were so helpful and fixed the problem straight away. They were very friendly and personal - it didn't feel like I was just communicating with a big company. They sent my package with an extra card in it and a hand-written note which was so lovely and made the whole experience extra heartwarming.
I've since used the website to buy more trees for a different gift, and instead of sending a card it was sent in an email. The recipient loved that it was such an environmentally friendly gift!
I've had nothing but excellent experiences with AGI - love their website and their work. I hope more people come to discover how wonderful it is.
