Timing, sizes and returns
Every item is made to order, so allow time for production and delivery. As a rule of thumb, plan on two to three weeks for a US address and three to four weeks for international orders, and read print on demand shipping time for the details. Most of these gifts need no size, which makes them a safe choice, and damaged, defective or misprinted items are replaced or refunded; see our Returns policy.
