How much is shipping and handling? TOP
To keep things simple and because our items are light, shipping and handling is FREE. This will probably be changing in the future, so take advantage of it while you can!
How Long Does an Order Take to Process? TOP
This depends on what items you purchased. The bigger the item, the longer it takes to completely cure. Plus, since my charms are hand coated by me it can take an extra day if the first batch resulted in a large air bubble or other flaw. I take a lot of time to make sure I send out the very best product to you. You can expect most products to ship out in 3-7 business days, usually sooner. If you are on a tight deadline, contact me to see if I think it would even be feasible. Another option is for me to bill you for USPS Priority Mail (not available for all countries) to help ensure your item will arrive on time.
What Shipping Method Do You Use? TOP
All of my items are sent out USPS 1st Class Mail from Long Beach, CA, USA or neighboring Lakewood, CA.
Where Are You Located? TOP
Photo Design Gifts is located in Long Beach, CA 90804. We are a webstore only company and our business license does not allow customers to come to our location.
Do I Have to Pay Sales Tax? TOP
If your merchandise is being shipped to a California mailing address, then yes. California needs all the money it can right now and that includes the sales tax rightfully owed to it. The Franchise Tax Board collects the sales tax based on what your shipping address is. I charge 9.25% sales tax. If your package is shipped to a area with a different tax rate, then I adjust the invoice on my end to reflect that. What I do is adjust the product price to be in compliance. If your tax rate is lower than mine and you would like a refund on the difference, then please contact me and it will be done.
What is Your Return Policy? TOP
If you purchase a non-personalized Italian Charm from me you have 7 days to return it for exchange, buyer must pay to have the item shipped back to me in Long Beach, CA.
All custom made items can only be returned if there is a manufacturing defect on the item. Once I receive the item and verify that there is a defect, then the shipping fee to be returned to me by regular 1st class mail (I will not reimburse for priority or express mail) will be reimbursed. You will be given the option for an exchange, store credit or full refund.
