US: USPS Priority (avg. 2 - 4 days; not guaranteed for delivery date), USPS Express (1 - 2 days, guaranteed by USPS), Fed Ex (upon request); I'm NOT responsible for shipping delays, breakage, package loss, package or customer mishandling. Delayed (in excess of the 1 - 2 business day USPS guarantee) US Express Mail is eligible for shipping fee refund only (refund = 2 - 6 weeks).
If your package is marked as "delivered," refunds are not offered if it isn't present at the destination. This is a USPS matter and must be handled through them. You can file a claim on their website or contact your local post office.

International orders will take an average of 6 - 8 weeks transit time (in addition to my production time of 3 - 5 days).
Shipping alerts are listed in my store announcements. Refunds are not issued for transit times or items delayed in transit.

PRODUCT INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS: Products consist of edible/food safe materials (fondant, tylose, gumpaste, edible airbrush, edible dusts, and other edible decorations). I DON'T recommended toppers for consumption due to their hardened nature (toppers harden as they dry). Some toppers contain central supports (food-safe cocktail, food-safe lollipop sticks, covered wires).
CENTRAL SUPPORT NOTE: If a central support (food grade support, support wires, cocktail stick, or other item) is used and remains present in the final product, you will see it noted in the listing details and on your "Helpful Information" sheet (shipped with every order).
VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, OTHER: Some specialty options are available via a custom order. Message me for details.
COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARKS
My artistic work is my own or my spin on a public domain item.
COPYRIGHT/TRADEMARK: I will NOT reproduce items with trademarks/copyrights, logos, and brand names. I will reproduce certain items if you have a valid copyright/trademark release. A copy must be forwarded to me with validation prior to production (eg you own the company for which you are requesting a logo reproduction). Message me if you have any questions.
PUBLIC DOMAIN: I will reproduce items in public domain (eg original Alice in Wonderland, Beatrix Potter, Charles Dickens). Productions are based on the original artwork or story, not later releases. Message me if you have any questions.
TOPPER CARE, USAGE, AND KEEPSAKE MAINTENANCE
STORAGE AND CARE UNTIL USE: Never freeze or refrigerate your topper(s) as this can cause moisture to collect. Do not expose them to liquid, moisture, extreme light, strong air currents, or other drastic environmental conditions as it may change the color and consistency of your item. All toppers should be covered/protected and stored in a dark, cool location (if not being immediately used). You can choose to unwrap your toppers when they arrive or leave them wrapped until usage.
HELPFUL INFORMATION SHEET: A "helpful information" sheet is included with every order with tips for storage, usage, and keepsake maintenance.
KEEPSAKES: The "helpful information" sheet contains information for retaining your topper as a keepsake after use.
CANCELLATIONS, BREAKAGE, AND CARRIER DELIVERY
CANCELLATIONS: Items are custom made for you so cancellations are not accepted.
BREAKAGE: I am NOT responsible for transit breakage. Each package is insured for this. Claims are via USPS (average 2 - 6 weeks for resolution). Photographic validation of breakage and box will be required. Keep any damaged pieces, the USPS may want to see them. I am not responsible for customer breakage (box opening, dropping, or other).
USPS OR OTHER CARRIER DELIVERY: I have no control over transit time or additional information once a packages is handed off to the shipping carrier. Orders marked as “delivered” are not refundable as “lost” if the customer states it has not been received. All transit times are estimates as shown.
