Use care when opening the package.

Ties are soft and the packaging is also soft.

Therefore, DON'T use a sharp object (scissors, knife, etc.) to open the package.

Any tie that is cut, sliced, or otherwise damaged by the buyer during opening is not entitled to a refund or replacement. Any claims of "damage" will require photographs, and if the damage is determined to be buyer-caused, no refund/replacement will be made. (Please note that buyer-caused damage by cutting the tie during opening of the package is very obvious in appearance.)

Sci-Fi Ties doesn't offer gift wrapping or cards.

*Shipping upgrades DON'T change the production time.

A shipping upgrade option is available for USPS Priority Mail. This option has a tracking number and ISN'T guaranteed through the United States Postal Service. Sci-Fi Ties doesn't guarantee any delivery times, regardless of shipping method.

Selecting USPS Priority Mail DOESN'T change the production time. It still takes 1-2 business days for the product to be created.

Sci-Fi Ties doesn't guarantee any delivery time. Once the item leaves Sci-Fi Ties' hands (shipping notification has been sent to you), it is up to the USPS. Deliveries that arrive "late," must be addressed with the USPS, not Sci-Fi Ties.

Sci-Fi Ties won't refund product or shipping costs for "late" items.

It is the buyer's responsibility to provide/select the correct shipping address. Items are shipped to the address provided by the buyer, and Sci-Fi Ties is NOT responsible for incorrectly supplied addresses or misdirected packages; Sci-Fi Ties is NOT responsible for any recovery of costs or items sent to those incorrect addresses.

Once a product leaves Sci-Fi Ties' hands, shipping and delivery are the responsibility of the United States Post Office. All packages are sent with a tracking number.

If products are lost in transit OR if a product has been marked as "delivered," and is believed to have been stolen, the buyer must contact the US Post Office for all issues.

Sci-Fi Ties has no responsibility for products/packages that are lost or stolen. Sci-Fi Ties won't issue refunds or replacements for lost or stolen products/packages.

All Sci-Fi Ties are "normal size" men's/adult size ties. They measure approximately 58-59 inches long when untied and are approximately 4 inches wide at the widest point.

In some cases, custom child-size ties can be created. Availability is based on whether or not enough fabric is available to create a new child's tie, and this varies by each tie design.

Child ties cost the same as adult ties.

Child ties are considered a custom order and therefore are not eligible for refund or replacement.

Child ties are the same style (manually-tied strips of fabric) as adult ties. No clip-on ties are available.

Child ties measure approximately 45 inches long when untied.

Write to Sci-Fi Ties to request information on child's ties for specific designs.

All ties are made from cotton material. Cotton does tend to wrinkle. To reduce wrinkles, all ties are starched prior to shipping. If wrinkling does occur, a warm (not hot) iron can be applied gently to restore the look. Ties can also be washed to remove all starch: you must wash on delicate with cold water, and ironing will be required, using a warm (not hot) iron.
