Shipping & Returns

If I accept a Return, and the Product has to be shipped back I can send you a shipping label but as a small business I am not eating the cost of shipping.  Any refunds processed will be minus the cost of Shipping as Shipping once paid is not something that can be gotten back from the post office.

You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.

Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary.

If you are returning more expensive items, you may consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

Shipping up to 14 days from purchase, 7-10 Business Days & Stock Level Info to Know

I’m a small handmade craft business based out of my home. I do not have a warehouse of products or supplies.  I might have a few of the designs made up. I do a lot of made-to-order.  Except for the jewelry, it is rare I have multiple of anything completely ready to ship that is finished. Well, wine bags too.

 

Most of what I need to print for business Products I have on hand, but for other items, I just might have to order supplies or go buy the right colors of vinyl.

 

Baby Books and Couple Books those I print then hand cut all the cards.  If you need something Fast Please reach out first.

• Can be Facebook, if you want faster than the contact form.  Just because you reach out to me on Facebook does not mean you are opening yourself up to me bugging you to spend money with me

Unauthorized Payments

So I have done everything on my end to make the payment processor and gateway as secure as possible as the customer account portal.  Here are the steps if someone makes an unauthorized payment

1. contact me immediately at crystal@cbycgraphicdesign.com
2. or reach out through the contact me form.
3. We will first start an investigation to find out some of the information about the order. I will need the following information
   1. how much was charged
   2. the date
      1. If you have any other information on the order

Next, it’s my job to start investigating.  What I will be looking for:

1. The matching transaction.
2. Date, Amount, Name on the account, what was ordered, where it was shipped to. If the order was shipped.
3. Hopefully, the order is caught before it’s shipped.

If everything is caught before the order is shipped an email will be sent out stating the order has been canceled due to reported fraud. Something that could result in the account being suspended.  

 

From personal experience tho always check your late-night purchase and family member logging in with your devices and accidentally hitting pay with the card on file
