Your order is packaged well and with care so it should arrive safely. Appleberry Ink uses USPS Priority Mail. Once it's shipped it should arrive to you in 2-3 business days. All packages are insured, so if you don't want insurance for any reason, please let us know. Also, any packages valued over $200 should not be left on your doorstep. If you are not home to receive the package it may be at your nearest Post Office and they should leave a note at your doorstep. Appleberry Ink is not responsible once the package is in the hands of USPS.

REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES

If colors are a concern order a sample pack from our shop or order a custom printed proof of your invite. Colors are not guaranteed to be an exact match, but we will try and come as close as possible. Custom design fees and map illustration fees are not refundable if you choose not to use them after they've already been designed. If your package is damaged in transit you need to bring the damaged box and contents to USPS and submit a claim so that your order can be reprinted.

GUARANTEE
Appleberry Ink’s goal is to produce consistent high-quality results according to each customer's order specifications.

Credits or refunds will not be issued once the proof has been approved and the customer has paid for our services unless we determine, at our sole discretion, that we were unable to complete the work in accordance with the customer's instructions. This policy is required because of the distinctly subjective element to customized invitation design.
