Frequently Asked Questions

AFTER YOU PAY (ADDING ON, ADDRESS CHANGE, PROCESSING TIME, DELAYS, GUARANTEES: When Will Your Order Ship? Is the arrival date guaranteed? (also see ETA below)

• By Etsy rules, we must ship to the address provided; cancelling and redoing is the only option

• We can't add items to orders; we can cancel if need be.

• PROCESSING TIME is the time it takes BEFORE your item ships. I cannot do not guarantee the arrival by a certain date.

• DELAYS: Transit delays caused by a pandemic, weather, delivery routing, weekends and regional holidays do occur. International orders are subject to customs inspection delays.

• SLOW TRANSIT REFUNDS are not provided for shipping costs related to a delay in transit time; EXCEPT when Priority Express Shipping was purchased and the Post Office failed to meet their guarantee. Guarantees may be waived for severe weather. International Priority Shipping is NOT faster.

ETA: When Will Your Order Arrive? (also see "PROCESSING TIME, DELAYS, GUARANTEES" above)

• WE SHIP FROM NORTHERN ARIZONA. All orders are personally shipped by either Dave or Marlene. We do not drop ship or use a 3rd party shipping service.

-
>> US orders usually arrive 3-7 delivery days after shipping. Things like a pandemic, weather, and postal routing changes including the closing of facilities have been known to create long transit delays. Please expect some delays Nov/Dec and if your order arrives exactly as scheduled, don't forget to thank your delivery person.

>> CANADIAN orders arrival date can vary greatly as they must pass through customs inspections. Typically Canadian orders arrive in 10-12 business days.
