Returns **PLEASE NOTE
Monogrammed items are unique to that person. Please choose fonts carefully as they are not returnable items once monorgammed unless there is a defect in product. We cannot accept returns on monogrammed items. I list "unusual" fonts in full alphabet from at bottom of the monogramming page. Authorized Returns should be mailed back to us and upon receiving, we will credit your credit card or Paypal account or send you a check from Alphabet Soup. Please choose monogram fonts carefully and ask questions so your order will be filled in the manner you choose. There are no refund for items after they are in process of manufacture. Some items are not done directly by ASG so we cannot stop their process and we have to pay for the item once it has been processed in their system. As stated, each item is uniquely monogrammed and the poroduct is a waste to us if not received by you. We cannot allow a refund after 24 hours on special order items. If there is ANY question, you need to try to make clear choices so the product is received according to you needs. There are no refunds for items due to shipping - once the item leaves our facility in plenty of time to ship to the destimation we are not liable for any refund of merchandise. Depending on the situation we may offer a refund of shipping costs to cover the inconvenience. Typically this never happens, however, during rushed seasons (holidays) there could be an issue. We are NOT responsible for guaranteeing the exzact time frame a package gets to you, as we use USPS Priority Mail and they do not guarantee either. We do get a tracking number if you need that.
Receiving Orders
Typically, we will ship your order within 10 days. In non-holiday seasons the typical time of order shipment can be faster. In holiday times, the time may be longer. If it will be longer than this there will be an alert at the top of the pages of the website. Please notify us within 24 hours if you need to rush an order. A RUSH order Fee of $10-$15 applies depending on destination of package. If you do not alert us within 24 hrs your order cannot be rushed at all due to volume of orders. We ship everything thru USPS Priority Mail - they do not guarantee anything - we do track all packages to insure delivery. You will not get a confirmation of order direct from us, your Paypal receipt being emailed to you is your receipt from us as well.
Packaging/Gift Enclosures
Gifts will be shipped with white or colored tissue paper with colored tulle/wraffia around a cello bag. If you would like a gift enclosure card, please notify on your order form and we will be happy to enclose one with your gift item.
