 DESIGNING YOUR PERSONALIZED FAMILY PRODUCT

 Body and Head Selection – For each item, please select a head and/or body as requested by the item being ordered. Based on the information you enter, we will draw a male or female body, then size and position it. Please be sure to indicate a head number and hair color for each body.  If a head number is not indicated, we will use the hairstyle and hair color of the character in the Body Selection Screen and if only brown hair is indicated, we will use light brown.  Please make sure to indicate a child’s age so we can size the body proportionately and provide other relevant details (e.g., children who are twins).
 
Unless otherwise indicated, we place bodies and/or heads in descending order in the positions listed on the order form.  Sizes and shapes of the bodies and heads may vary slightly depending on the item ordered and the number of characters on it.
 

Formats/Layouts - We offer a selection of layouts with different head and/or body combinations.  Please note that some formats come with pre-selected bodies and a choice of heads; others come with a set number of characters and choice of bodies. Bodies and heads will appear as shown on the Body and Head selection screens.  Please be sure to indicate the format when you order.

Printed Colors - Items are printed in the colors shown on the item being ordered (unless otherwise indicated).  Due to the different products and surfaces we print on and differences on monitors, actual colors may vary slightly.

Type Styles and Text Colors - Choice of type style is available where indicated on the order form. Choice of red, black or blue type color is available on products where indicated on the order form.  If a color is not selected, black will be used.

Greetings, Headings, Closings - When the order form has space for a greeting, heading or closing (e.g., memo pads, note cards, gift stickers), please be sure one is indicated, regardless of which format is chosen.  If nothing is indicated, nothing will be included, even if there is a greeting, heading or closing on your sample.

Abbreviations - Abbreviations (e.g., St., Ave., Dr.) are used at the discretion of the artist.  If you do not want us to use abbreviations, please indicate so on the order form.  State names are always abbreviated.

ENSURING YOUR SATISFACTION

Submitting Orders - Orders may only be submitted online. We encourage you to check your order carefully before submitting it as we regret we are unable to accept any changes or cancellations once an order has been submitted.

Communications by Email - We rely heavily on email for communicating with our customers, so please ensure we have your current email address.

Order Acknowledgment – After you place your order, you will get an email confirmation with an estimated ship date.  Please review the email to make sure all order and shipping information is correct; if there is an error, please contact us immediately.  When you contact us, please refer to the confirmation number on the order acknowledgement email.

Mistakes - We always try our best to ensure that every order is processed correctly; however, occasionally things go wrong with an order.  When this happens, just email us the confirmation number and a description of the problem.  If we make a mistake on your order and it’s our fault, we’ll replace it at no charge.  If the mistake is yours, we will redo the item at a reduced charge.  Either way, we will process it ASAP.

Order Production Time - During non-holiday periods, your order will be shipped within 7 business days from receipt of a completed order form.  During October, November and December, processing time varies; we will keep you informed of order processing time during this period.

Rush processing is available for all items, except rubber stamps, checks and memo pads.  A Rush Processing Charge of $18 will apply for each requested item. Rush items ship via UPS Ground within 24 hours if received by 12:00 p.m. PST.  Faster shipping options are available.  Expedited processing is not available in October, November and December.

Order Tracking - When your order has shipped, we send you an email notification with a tracking number.  You can track the delivery status of your order on our web site or at www.ups.com.

2001 Holiday Order Deadlines - Our 2012 Hanukkah order deadline is November 17th; our Christmas deadline is December 3rd.  Holiday orders will be shipped at least one week prior to the holiday.  Orders received after these deadlines will be processed as soon as possible, but may not be shipped in time for the holiday.  Our offices will be closed from December 25th through January 3rd.

"Wanted to let you know that I received the cookies-they were on my front door step when I got home. They are absolutely gorgeous and tasted wonderful! Thanks for getting them done so quickly for me."

"I just wanted to write a quick note to thanks you so much for such a great service. I recently ordered my first set of address labels from you and they are terrific. I've ordered from other places in the past but was disappointed in the quality of the adhesive and faded ink. Yours arrived in fabulous condition and I am thrilled with the quality. I'll be passing your name around as I'm sure I'll get inquiries about them."
