Shipping Policy

 Below are our shipping terms and guidelines.

Processing Time
   - All orders are processed and printed-on-demand through our partner, Gelato. This typically takes **4-6 business days** depending on the product and customization.
   - Orders placed on weekends or holidays will begin processing the next business day.

Shipping Times
   - **Domestic Shipping (within USA:**
     - Estimated delivery time is **5-10 business days** after processing.
   - **International Shipping:**
     - Delivery times vary by destination. Generally, orders arrive within **8-14 business days** but may take longer depending on local customs processing.
   - *Note:* Due to factors beyond our control (such as customs delays and regional restrictions), some orders may experience slight delays. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Shipping Costs
   - Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the destination, package weight, and shipping method chosen.

Tracking Information
   - Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information. Please allow up to 48 hours for the tracking link to activate.
   - Some items may be shipped separately; in this case, each package will have its own tracking link.

Customs, Duties, and Taxes
   - International orders may be subject to customs duties or import taxes upon arrival. Unfortunately, these fees are beyond our control and are the responsibility of the customer.
   - We recommend checking with your local customs office for more information on any additional fees that may apply.

   - We may ask for photos of any damages or errors to assist with our quality control efforts.

Lost or Delayed Packages
