Shipping Policy

Effective from: 1st November 2025

We ship carefully and quickly, but custom printed gifts require a little extra time. This policy explains where we ship, how long orders take to process, carrier options, costs, tracking, and what happens if a package is lost, delayed, or damaged.

Scope and applicability

This policy applies to purchases made on our website and by phone for shipments within the United States. If you ordered through a third-party marketplace or at an event, that seller’s or platform’s shipping rules may also apply.

Processing time: production and fulfillment

Because many of our products are custom printed and inspected by hand, most orders require production time before shipment.

  • Standard processing time for in-stock, non-personalized items: 1 to 3 business days from order confirmation.
  • Production time for personalized, custom, or made-to-order items: 3 to 10 business days depending on complexity. We will show an estimated production time at checkout for each product.
  • Orders placed on weekends or holidays begin processing the next business day.

If an item has a longer lead time it will be noted on the product page. If production will take longer than the estimated window we will notify you by email at the address on your order.

Shipping methods, carriers, and estimated delivery times

We work with major carriers including USPS, UPS, and FedEx. Available methods and estimated delivery windows will be shown at checkout. Typical domestic delivery estimates after fulfillment are:

  • USPS First-Class Mail: 2 to 5 business days (small packages, lightweight items)
  • USPS Ground Advantage: 2 to 5 business days depending on zones
  • USPS Priority Mail: 1 to 3 business days for many destinations
  • UPS Ground: 1 to 5 business days depending on zones
  • FedEx Ground/Home Delivery: 1 to 5 business days depending on zones

Expedited options such as Priority Mail Express, UPS 2nd Day Air, and FedEx 2Day are available at checkout for an additional fee. These shipping windows are carrier estimates and not guarantees. Carriers may change service standards or transit times; during peak seasons or network changes delivery can be slower. We will provide tracking info once your order ships.

Shipping costs and free shipping offers

Shipping charges are calculated at checkout based on the items in your cart, the selected service, the delivery address, and carrier rates at the time of purchase.

We may run promotions offering free standard shipping for orders that meet a minimum subtotal. Promotional free shipping applies only to the shipping methods specified in the promotion and does not cover duties, taxes, or expedited upgrades unless explicitly stated.

Orders to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, and remote areas

PO Boxes and APO/FPO addresses: We can ship to PO Boxes and APO/FPO as long as the selected carrier supports those deliveries. Some carriers and services do not deliver to PO Boxes; your checkout options will reflect this.

Remote areas and certain ZIP codes may take longer to deliver. Carrier transit estimates at checkout are the best available guidance.

International shipping

We currently ship primarily within the United States. If you request international shipping, we will provide a shipping quote and delivery estimate. International shipments may incur customs duties, taxes, or brokerage fees charged by the destination country. The recipient is responsible for these charges unless otherwise stated. Customs can delay delivery. We are not responsible for customs processing delays.

Tracking and notifications

When your order ships we will send a shipping confirmation email with the carrier and tracking number. You can use that tracking number on the carrier’s site to follow the package. If you do not receive tracking information within the promised window, contact makemeblush@myyahoo.com.

Shipping delays, carrier service changes, and holidays

Carrier service standards can change. The U.S. Postal Service and private carriers periodically update transit times and holiday deadlines. During peak seasons such as November and December deliveries may experience delays and carriers may impose temporary rate increases. We will try to communicate expected delays and recommended order-by dates, but we cannot guarantee delivery dates. If a carrier-wide delay affects your order we will offer options such as expedited re-ship, store credit, or refund when appropriate.

Damaged, lost, or stolen packages

If a shipment arrives damaged, please keep the packaging and take photos of the damage and items before discarding anything. Contact us at makemeblush@myyahoo.com within 7 calendar days of delivery with your order number, photos, and a short description. We will work with the carrier and, if appropriate, our production team to resolve the issue with a replacement or refund.

If a package is reported lost in transit we will file a claim with the carrier. We may require proof of non-delivery and time for the carrier to investigate. If the carrier finds the package lost, we will offer a replacement or refund. If tracking shows delivered but you did not receive the package, check with neighbors, building management, or local post office. If you still cannot locate it, contact us and we will investigate.

 Address accuracy and incorrect addresses

You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address. If an order is returned to us because of an incomplete or incorrect address you provided, we will notify you. Re-shipment costs and any additional shipping charges will be your responsibility. If we catch an address error before shipment we will attempt to correct it free of charge when possible.

Shipping for personalized items and proofs

Personalized and custom items require human checks. For some orders we may send an email proof for your approval before printing. If you approve a proof, changes after approval are final and may not be refundable. If you do not approve the proof within the requested timeframe we will proceed using the submitted artwork and details.

Backorders and preorders

If an item is backordered or on preorder, the product page will state the expected ship date. We will charge your payment method at the time of purchase and notify you of any changes. You may cancel a preorder or backorder before production begins for a full refund.

Third-party fulfillment centers and dropshippers

We may use third-party production partners and fulfillment centers. When a third-party fulfills your order, the third-party carrier information and shipping times may apply. We remain responsible for customer service and will coordinate resolution in case of delay or damage.

Changes, cancellations, and returns related to shipping

If you need to change your shipping address or cancel an order, contact us immediately at makemeblush@myyahoo.com or (862) 282-7084. Orders for custom items can only be changed or canceled within 24 hours of purchase unless the product has not entered production. For non-personalized items we may be able to cancel or change orders if the item has not shipped.

Shipping insurance

We recommend adding shipping insurance for high-value orders. Insurance protects the package against loss or damage in transit and may speed claims processing. If you decline insurance and a package is lost or damaged we will still assist with claims but replacement or refund may be delayed pending carrier investigation.

Force majeure

We are not responsible for delays caused by events outside our control including natural disasters, strikes, acts of government, carrier disruptions, or other force majeure events. In such events we will notify customers and work to resolve and re-ship orders when possible.

Shipping taxes, duties, and customs

For domestic orders sales tax will be charged as required by law. For international orders the recipient is responsible for customs duties and taxes unless otherwise stated. Make Me Blush is not responsible for customs delays or charges imposed by the destination country.
