Announcement    Welcome! Most items are Custom-Made-to-Order, based on your selections/specifications. Please contact me if you have questions or special requests. ["Read More" below for discounts, news, and more info]

** NEWS**

* The "shipped" date I will provide reflects the day that I pass the package to the USPS. Acceptance scans are usually done late in the day, many hours after that happens (sometimes after midnight), and sometimes not even until it has moved to a different USPS facility. Employee shortages and other unforeseen events can cause the USPS truck to not retrieve packages dropped in mailboxes or at the Post Office as normally scheduled, which may cause additional scanning delays. Thank you for understanding.

* I have removed USPS "Priority Express" as a shipping option, as it is no longer a reliable service, and sets expectations far above the actual results it yields. *** Please select Priority Mail if you need to ensure the fastest possible transit time. *** USPS Ground Advantage (formerly "First Class Package") will continue to be available as the most economical option for orders that have a more relaxed delivery speed requirement.

* I'm in the process of updating my shop listings with new photos, text, etc. As part of this restructuring, you will finally see the return of some items/options that were removed pending updated photos, including clearance items/options. As always, if you're waiting for a specific item/option to return, please let me know so I can prioritize it and then personally notify you when it's been made available.

>>>> Handling Time (Last Updated: April 17, 2024) <<<<

* Handling times are presented in terms of BUSINESS days; Saturdays, Sundays and US Holidays are not counted as part of the handling time.

* The vast majority of orders ship sooner than the official shipping deadline.

* Due to the nature of custom and made-to-order items, each item type has its own estimated "handling" time, which will be a range (for example: 1 - 3 days). The handling time may change based on my current work load, unusual limits on my availability, approaching holidays, etc., to ensure you are never given unrealistic expectations. If you have questions, or special timing needs, please contact me with the details.

* Unfortunately, Etsy no longer displays the actual handling time specified by the seller. The estimated delivery dates presented are NOT quoted from the seller, but rather are the result of the Etsy system combining the handling time, the distance between the seller's zip code and the buyer's zip code, the USPS transit time estimates for the chosen shipping method, etc. to come up with a "best guess"; the estimated delivery dates may change during checkout, especially if the shipping method and/or delivery zip code changes from what the system was originally using in its calculations.


Handling time exceptions…

* When purchasing multiple items together, the longest handling time among them will dictate the handling time for the whole order.

* Due to the nature of custom and made-to-order items, orders that include a number of such items *may* result in a longer handling time than is estimated for just one of them. The larger the order, the more likely there will be a delay. I will contact you if this applies to your order.

* Time zone differences can affect what the order date is considered to be for some orders placed late at night, or from outside of the U.S. For the purposes of calculating handling time/shipping deadline, U.S. Central Time will be used.

* Delays in the Etsy system processing your payment can affect what the order date is considered to be, which will, in turn, change the shipping deadline and delivery estimate.

* The Etsy system does not always correctly calculate shipping date estimates, especially around Holidays. To compensate for this, I usually increase my handling times when Holidays are approaching. If you have questions about a specific order, please ask.

NOTE:

If you do not want your item(s) with a shorter handling time being delayed by your item(s) with a longer handling time, please checkout for the longer handling time item(s) separately from the other item(s), so they can be shipped in separate batches, as the items are completed.

… Likewise, if you are ordering many items, but have a special timing need for one or two of them, you should place an order for the "emergency" item(s) FIRST, and then place a separate order for everything else, to ensure that the size of the order does not delay the item(s) you need right away.
