Shipping Policies                       

Processing Time

The time needed to prepare an order for shipping varies, especially for Bespoke/ Custom orders (*see How to Order Bespoke/Custom Stationery for more details).  All other orders usually ship 5-7 business days from the day the order is placed (Business days do not include weekends or holidays).

Most orders may be rush processed for an additional fee.  Rush processing reduces the item’s processing and printing time from 5-7 business days to 1-2 business days.  Rush processing only expedites the amount of time it takes for your item to be processed and printed.  If necessary, you will need to pay additional expedited shipping fees.  As the price of a rush fee or expedited shipping fee will vary depending on the item, please email me at stonecottagepaperie@gmail.com for exact pricing.

Unless otherwise noted, all orders ship via FEDEX, 2 Day Priority mail.  SCP is not responsible for shipping delays due to FEDEX.

Damage During Shipment

If the inevitable happens and your items are damaged during shipment, please send a photograph of the damaged item immediately to stonecottagepaperie@gmail.com.  All claims must be received within 5 days of delivery or refunds cannot be made.  After receipt and review of the photograph(s) indicating damage, SCP will happily offer you either a reprint free of charge or a full refund.

To help us out, please retain the box or damaged item as SCP will need specific photos to file a USPS claim.

Returns & Exchanges               

SCP does not accept returns or exchanges for the following items:

• Custom or personalized orders
• Digital downloads
• Sale items

Refund Policy                                

All sales are final; however, refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:

• Item(s) damaged during transit.
• Printing mistakes made by SCP, not printing mistakes due to incorrect text entered by the customer.

Please ensure that you review all text before you complete your purchase as SCP is not responsible for reprinting items that were incorrectly entered by the customer.

 Additionally, any photos to be used on your order must have the correct width and height requirements, have a picture resolution of 300 dpi, and be submitted as a JPG or PNG.  Not meeting these requirements will result in poor printing quality. SCP does not take responsibility for the quality of customers’ photos. It is fully the customer’s responsibility to ensure photos presented meet these submission standards.  SCP will not make adjustments to a submitted photograph and will not reprint cards due to poor image quality (out of focus, too dark, etc.).

Please remember that a photo on your computer screen will appear much brighter than the actual photograph due the screen being backlit.

Please note:  Shipping and handling fees are not refundable and are not reimbursed by SCP unless the items are damaged. The customer is responsible for all shipping return fees.
