FAQs & Policies

Our goal is for this transaction to be the most smooth and simple purchase you have ever made.

But sometimes things go wrong, or you need us to ship your purchase to NYC instead of Walla Walla, or the mailman bends the stay-flat envelope marked "DO NOT BEND" over his knee and shoves it into your mailbox.

Send us an email, please. We will try and make everything better.

PAYMENT POLICY

We accept payment by Credit Card or PayPal. (Items paid by PayPal e-Checks will not be processed until your payment has cleared. This form of payment can take up to 5 days to clear.)

It is your responsibility to notify us if you need your items by a certain date. We do not accept responsibility for items that arrive after your event date if you have not notified us of your deadline. Shipping upgrades may be needed to meet your event date.

----------------------

WRONG DELIVERY ADDRESS

We will not be held responsible for orders being delivered to "wrong" or "old addresses" a customer has on file. All shipping labels are generated directly from the system information entered by the customer and at no time will we alter addresses unless specifically requested by the customer. Should your order be returned to the studio as an "Undeliverable As Addressed", you will be required to pay another shipping fee. Orders shipped to incorrect addresses, as provided by the buyer, will not be reprinted and/or reshipped at the expense of Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC).

----------------------
NON DELIVERY 

We cannot track down packages that are marked as delivered, but are "not received". Our best piece of advice is to talk to your neighbors, check next to your porch or back door, and talk to those you live with to make sure they didn't stash it somewhere. Your local post office or FedEx/UPS locations can also help, call and ask to speak to your carrier and ask them where the package was left. They can also help walk you through the investigation process. 

We do not issue refunds on lost packages.

 ----------------------

SHIPPING METHODS

We use USPS/UPS/FedEx for shipping. We will carefully package your item(s) for shipment.

TRANSIT TIMES (INTERNATIONAL)

International shipping can take 2-4 weeks (and in some cases longer) for delivery. Please keep this in mind when placing your order to ensure there is enough time for delivery. If you're not sure, please contact me and I will help you determine how much time is typically needed for your location. Please note however, that as the Customs process can be very inconsistent, we do not guarantee any delivery dates for international packages. All delivery times are a general estimate.

Any additional tariffs, VATs, import fees, or similar, are the buyer's responsibility, upon the item's delivery.

For international buyers, please be advised once I mailed out the package, it is out of my control. I cannot be responsible for mail lost by the carrier or from a hold by customs. However, I will try my best to work with you to avoid this type of problem. Thank you so much for your understanding.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

----------------------

CUSTOM DESIGN POLICY

All products created for customers are the design and intellectual property of Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC). In purchasing a “custom design product” or paying the Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC) "custom design fee”, the customer understands that these items will become Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC) copywritten items and may be sold as future Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC) products or used in Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC) advertising. All custom design fees are non-refundable.

----------------------

PROOF POLICY

We strive to ensure customers are 100% happy with their orders before moving into production. However, all design orders are limited to two proofs. Should a customer need additional proofs beyond the first two, a $5 fee will be charged.

Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC) is not responsible for spelling or grammatical errors that are printed. We strive to catch these mistakes, but customers are responsible for checking and correcting their orders before giving the proof approval.

Due to the bespoke custom handmade process of the printed products, there can be variations from your digital proof to the printed items. While we strive for accuracy from the digital proof to the printed and shipped item, please note that variations may occur. Slight variations in line thickness and coverage may occur and this will not be considered a defect in printing. 

Other information to keep in mind:

  • Design Note: The design might be stretched a bit to fit the cup. Most products are printed by hand (not mass produced by machinery), slight differences in technique, pressure, and application can lead to variations in the print.  Conditions such as humidity, temperature, and drying times can influence the outcome of prints, leading to unique variations.
  • Ink Info: Our screen-printed items use inks that dry by evaporation. There might be a slight residual odor from the drying process, which is normal and not a defect.
  • Color Accuracy: We try to represent cup and ink colors as accurately as possible, but variations in monitors and screens mean the colors might look different in person.
  • Scratches & Scuffs: Minor scratches and scuffs on plastic products can happen during production, printing, stacking, and shipping. These are common and not considered defects. While we do our best to prevent them, customers should be aware of this risk.
  • Surface Variability: The materials being printed on can have natural variations in texture, absorbency, and color, affecting how the print looks.

All proofs are sent within 48 business hours (not including weekends or holidays) via email. During busier times (holidays, wedding season, etc.) proofs may take longer to be created and sent.

----------------------

PRINTABLE DESIGN POLICY

Once a printable design proof has been approved and delivered to the customer via email, downloadable link, or any other method decided on, no additional editing or customization by Rubi and Lib Design Studio (Pink Poppy Party Shoppe, LLC) will occur. For any additional customization once the final product has been delivered, the customer will need to repurchase the item at the purchase price.
