FAQ'S

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, PayPal and debit cards with a Visa or MasterCard logo. Please note that PayPal may be seen first as a payment option on the check out screen, but proceed below PayPal and you can use credit cards from that point.
Do you ship internationally?
We now offer international shipping to 59 countries! If you don't see your country enabled for shipping and you would like to make a purchase, please contact us.
Please note that your package will go through customs in your country and this may delay delivery which we cannot control. You will also be responsible for Duty and/or VAT charges, if any, pursuant to tax laws in your specific country. We do not offer free shipping on international orders.
How much is shipping?
Domestic:
We offer free shipping within the US!  If you, however, want your item very quickly, you can choose to pay for priority mail which is usually 2-3 days guaranteed by USPS.
International:
We are currently offering delivery options via Basic Shipping, UPS and FedEx and DHL. You may see that DHL rates are less expensive than other name brands - we have access to group rates which explains the more reasonable price - usually 70% savings. Fees depend on weight and size of your order and of course distance. Basic international shipping is economy shipping and may take 10-20 business days for delivery. 
How long does it take for my order to arrive?
For domestic USA orders, it usually takes 3-5 days after your order has been fulfilled though may be sooner if sent by Priority Mail. Some items, coffee mugs, and pillow cases are produced as ordered thus there is a two-week delay in shipping. If your order contains items we stock, your entire order will ship after we receive the on-demand produced items. This allows us to offer an increased selection of the three items referenced. Please look carefully at your confirmation email, as if there is a delay in shipping for any reason, it will be noted in this correspondence.
International shipping can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the delivery option you select. DHL has been delivered within 2-4 days thus far in our experience. As noted, we cannot control delays in customs which may or may not occur. Basic shipping may take 10-20 business days for delivery.
You are responsible for providing an accurate address. If your item is returned undelivered due to your error, you are responsible for any costs involved to correct this error in getting your products to you.
What if my selected item is out of stock?
You will be given the option to complete a form and an email will be sent to you as soon as the item is back in stock. Some coffee mugs, pillow cases are produced as ordered thus should show as available.
