Please contact the proper authorities on how to deliver your order.

I do not personally deliver your items and I cannot tell the delivery services how to deliver your items. You need to talk to them or arrrange for a way to receive your item.

Yes, it is sold out if it says so at check out. 

 




How long will it take to receive my order?

*** Due to COVID, shipping times might be delayed. Please check with your local postal office for more information.

Once shipped (meaning your tracking has updated as received by USPS) most domestic orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping delivery times may vary between 2 and 12 weeks.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for your order to process. If 2 weeks pass and you do not get tracking, please feel free to contact me!

I am located in USA and ship every Monday

On Preorders: Please read the item’s description CAREFULLY about preorder items! Production times vary on what the item is so please read the item description carefully for those notes. Whatever item has the longer shipping time is when you order will ship.

 




I ordered a PREORDER item with REGULAR items, when will it ship?

Your order will ship when the preordered items arrive. Whichever order has the latest date is when you can expect your order to ship.

 



How can I tell if my order is shipped? / Did my item ship? / Etc.

You will always get an email from Big Cartel when your items is shipped with your tracking information.  

If you got your tracking but it isn't updating within 2 weeks, please contact me. I print labels ahead of time and pack on the weekends, but if 2 weeks pass with no updates to your tracking please feel free to reach out! 

You can always check out the STORE TWITTER. I ALWAYS update when I start packing, finish packing, and dropped off orders. 



Do orders come with tracking?

Yes, your order will come with tracking. You will get emailed from Big Cartel when your order is processed and shipped.

 



Where is my order? / I saw someone on social media get an item I ordered / Someone got their order! Where is mine? / Etc.

FOR PREORDERS: First and foremost, please check to see if you ordered a preorder item. Please check the estimated shipping time listed on that item in the item description. 

If you see other people posting their orders DO NOT WORRY! I pack and ship items on the weekends and in groups. It will take some time for me to process everyone's orders. 

FOR NON-PREORDER ITEMS: If you placed an order and 2 weeks has passed, please feel free to contact me. Sometimes orders get lost between preorder orders and I might have over looked your order. 

If you get tracking and it has not updated in 2 weeks, please feel free to contact me. Thank you!

 



I'm moving / I unexpectedly had to move, can I change my address? / Can you hold my item till I know my new address?

So long as your item has not shipped yet, yes you can change your shipping address. If you do not know your new address yet I can send it to a friend for you or hold your item till you know your new address. Whichever is easiest.

Please contact me to work this out before your item ships with a new shipping address or if you need me to hold your item. 

If your order HAS shipped and you did not update your address with me, please talk to your local post office for any options you have to have the package intercepted. I cannot do anything for you at this stage. I will happily work with you to help if the post office needs me.
